Turns out I'll be on the Facebook chat from 4:00 to 4:30, Pacific, and not until 5.  🙂 Sorry about that. Hope to see you there--if not, have a marvelous weekend and I'll be blogging again on Monday.  (Remember our weekly contest.  Just comment, and you're entered.  2...

Here it is! https://www.facebook.com/events/1705519413008121 Please note that I will be on from 4 to 5 pm Pacific, BUT the other authors will be on throughout the day.

Tomorrow, "Sweet Talk" will be available as an ebook.  My story, "Interlude", is part of the collection, and I'm eager to hear what you think of it.  As you know, "Sweet Talk" is one of several anthologies, and the whole project will benefit the cause of curing...

Day 12 of WHAT, you ask, as you well might.  🙂  The answer is, I've discovered a devotional series called, "45 Days With", and I'm well into "45 Days With Abraham Lincoln".  There are numerous other books in the series, and I have a stack of them waiting for their...

To have so many wonderful friends--all of you.  Your sweet, generous words always touch my heart. Bernice is 15, and she does have arthritis, of course, but she's still pretty spry.  She's always had dog steps--I believe in spoiling my pets.  🙂 Speaking of blessed,...

Down about half a pound--which is good.  I've been "stuck" at the same weight for several months now and, I must confess, I tended to beat myself up about it.  Then I listened to a podcast on Tips of the Scale, episode #144.   The guest was Tulin Emre, who bills...

My story, "Interlude", will be featured in Brenda Novak's collection entitled "Sweet Talk".  It's an e-book and will not be available in any other format as far as I know.  The collection will be released on May 1, but it is already up for pre-orders on all the usual...

No, seriously.  I renew my annual membership, like, every other month!  It's getting scary.  I simply consume audiobooks--words in, words out, that's my excuse.  I seem to crave words.  I would breathe them if I could, absorb them through the pores of my skin---today,...
