I love to write. I love even more when a book is all finished, edited and in readers’ hands or on their e-book readers. And I love book events where I get to meet some of those readers. I get that pleasure again this Saturday, March 25, 2023, at the Southern Kentucky Book Fest at the Knicely Center in Bowling …
Here it is late Sunday night and I just realized I usually post something on Sunday nights. It’s been a busy few weeks. I’m writing and writing some more as I try to keep words spilling across my computer monitor and get my new story out of my head. It can get pretty crazy when I have a writing deadline …
On my last post I celebrated my daughter’s birthday. Tonight I’m celebrating Mom’s. Tomorrow, the 16th of March, is Mom’s birthday.

“It is not enough to be busy; so are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about?” – Henry David Thoreau It’s been a busy work week. Busy. Busy. Sometimes I think I might get too busy. I mean this is the second week in a row, I’ve forgotten about it being Wednesday and time to post something …
Spring has sprung early here in Kentucky this year. It probably won’t last until spring is actually supposed to show up, but it has more or less lasted off and on for a couple of weeks. We’ve had temperatures in the seventies several days. That’s enough to get the birds to singing and the flowers to blooming. On the way …
It’s been fun posting romantic scenes from some of my already published books. So, I hope you’ll bear with me for one more scene that doesn’t have any romance at all, but does introduce you to some of my characters in my upcoming May release, In the Shadow of the River. The story starts when Jacci is five years …
