Foggy Mountain
If I were naming this place today, I'd call it Foggy Mountain. Yesterday afternoon, I was delighted to look up from my writing and seeing snow coming down. Today, the draw is shrouded in fog, ghosting the great pines to specter trees.It's a day to have the fire going,...
Breaking News!
I looked up from today's chapter and guess what--IT'S SNOWING!!!
November
The weather is turning cold, the leaves are falling, and I await the first real snowfall of the season.The house is being painted, and I've been shopping for furniture for Sanctuary, my lake place, with excitement. Just yesterday, I found the perfect table to gather...
The Yorkie Gets a Turn
My name is Bernice, and I'm a Yorkshire Terrier.Frankly, I resent Sadie calling me a nervous traveler in yesterday's blog. I'll have you know that I rode in a car, all the way from Cave Creek, Arizona to Spokane, Washington, with my Aunt Jen, without incident. Okay,...
The Beagle Speaks
My name is Sadie, and I am Mom's beagle. Since she's busy writing the last few chapters of "Deadly Deceptions", her second Mojo book, ("Deadly Gamble" being the first, and available now), I decided to fill in for her on the blog. This is no small challenge,...
Petsforlife.org
Check them out. All sorts of great information, and a lot of it is free. I ordered Christmas cards, too.I had a fabulous time in Washington, D.C., made some wonderful new friends, had dinner with niece Kelly, and did some power shopping. Oh, but I am glad to be home,...

I just met with the wonderful people at the HSUS, and am so looking forward to our association. They are energetic, creative and, best of all, deeply committed to the welfare and humane treatment of our best but often neglected friends, the animals.A line from a...
The LaJolla Writers’ Conference
I had a great time at the conference--met some fascinating people!It was a real thrill to share keynoting duties with two famous thriller writers, Steve Berry, "The Third Secret", "The Romanov Prophecy" and James Grappando, "Got the Look" and "Hear No Evil"--both have...
Mojo/4 and final
I've enjoyed writing this blog, but frankly, I'll be glad to turn it back over to Linda. She's not very good at technical things, but I'm even worse. So I'll concentate on fighting crime and not joining the ghost-brigade before my time, and let her do this.She's going...
Mojo/Day 2
I've already written this once. Hopefully, the blog gods won't zap it into the ethers this time.I wanted to tell you all about Tucker Darroch, the man in my life. Unlike Nick, he's alive, which is a big plus. He's an undercover cop--when I met him, he was posing as a...
Mojo Day 3
Dead people.It's me, me, me with them.Find out who killed me, pass on this message--yada yada yada.Wouldn't you think they'd KNOW who killed them, for pete's sake? But no. Truth is, a lot of them haven't even picked up on the fact that they're dead in the first place....
Mojo/Day 1
I guess one of the first things you need to know about me—Mojo Sheepshanks—is that I'm determined. Due to weather in Spokane, Linda's computer won't go online. So I'm writing this, and then our good friend, Nancy Berland, will post it on the blog....
