It’s a lovely day and my first opportunity to work outside. The weatherman says it’s turning colder and windy tomorrow so we authors have to take advantage of nice writing conditions when we can. And for that reason this week’s rambling will be short. The POV workshop kicked off this week. Next week I have another story,…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-April’s Nearly Over
A beautiful sunny day where I am, and the first one in what seems like a long time. I was tempted to take the afternoon off. Another busy week comes to an end. I finalized everything with Death Likes Me and now it’s being processed at Feed A Read. Also did a couple of edits…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Not Quite Spring
Spring it seems doesn’t want to put in an appearance this year. Well at least not where I live. We got rid of every last bit of snow in the garden and then back it came and it looks like it’s not leaving anytime soon. I suppose it means more writing done inside than out…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Happy April

Friday Ramblings From An Author-It’s Spring
The calendar says spring but the temperature doesn’t agree. It’s been a bitter cold week but I’ve been busy so it’s just as well I wasn’t tempted outside by balmy weather. Yesterday I completed gallery proofs of my upcoming cookbook. It’s looking good and reading through it made me just as hungry as when it…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-It’s The First of March
March already and almost spring which has me looking forward to doing some writing outside. There’s nothing like a change in venue and temperature to spark creativity. In our yard we have what I call the potting shed. The previous owner built it and left a whole bunch of gardening stuff in there, and yes,…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-It’s February
Happy February to you. I’ll make this a short post as it’s been a hectic day. I’ll start with some self promotion about the workshop I’m teaching this month. It starts on Monday, is offered by the Colorado Romance Writers, and at the moment we don’t have many participants. I hate cancelling workshops so if you…
