Thanks so much for joining in with my …
I’m going to be a guest on a blog, Quid Pro Quills this Wednesday for their regular feature Animals and Authors. Oscar is the star in that post. So since I’ve been meaning to do a post about my dog, Oscar, here on One Writer’s Journal forever, I decided now was a good time. This post will be different from …
It’s taken me a few weeks before I could write about sweet dog, Amber. Even now it makes me sad that the little dog’s life ended too soon. My granddaughter got Amber for her birthday a few years ago. She was a rescue dog. A miniature wire-haired dachshund. Maybe full bred. Maybe with a little something else mixed in. She …
Hidden Springs mystery 2 isn’t ready for readers yet. It’s still going through edits and won’t be released until July 2016. That sounds like a while yet, doesn’t it?

But he’s not exactly right. My dog may be a little more like picture two. And of course Oscar in picture …

Dogs have a way of finding the people who need them, filling an emptiness we don’t even know we have. ~Thorn Jones Some of you have been asking about how my dog, Oscar, is doing. About a month ago, one of the men working on a room remodel here at the house ran over Oscar. He was parked beside the …
Dogs laugh, but they laugh with their tails. ~Max Eastman February 10, 1964. Jocie Brooke here still on the outlook for strange on Main Street, Hollyhill. It’s been a quiet week.
