Free and 99¢ eBooks
Stuck at Home? Grab some free and 99¢ eBooks! I had a teacher ask about where to find free eBooks for kids and teens during this tumultuous time. So, I asked authors to post their links on a separate blog post linked above. You can also find more books on this Facebook post, although there may be some duplications. Then I thought about all the parents and other readers who might need inexpensive entertainment right now. I know I love to escape into another world when this one gets a little topsy turvy (or really anytime. 🙂 ). I know we’ll rebound but in the meantime… I’m inviting all authors…

A Writer’s Plan: NaNoWriMo Nov. 2019
Every November thousands of writers decide to forgo their normal lives in order to write a novel in a month. Crazy, right? Probably. But, also inspirational and challenging. National Novel Writing Month or NaNoWriMo as it’s referred to is a great way to get words written. One can let go of the infernal internal editor and just write. The manuscript can always be cleaned up afterward. But, hitting that goal of at least 50,000 words written in one month is exhilarating. I’m participating again this year with a goal of 50K words. But, I’ll be writing two novellas and beginning the first book in a new series. The first novella…

New Website, New Logo, and a New Direction
Hello all! It’s been a long while since I posted anything. But, I have some exciting news to share. I have a new website, new logo, and a new direction for my writing. After a year of stops and starts, I have finally managed to create a brand new website from the ground up. My old one really needed help. I love the new look and my tagline: Finding light within the darkness… No matter what genre I write, including the dark stuff, I enjoy finding the hope and light within my characters and story. I try to leave my readers with hope and good feelings, even though they may…

My Dad, My Hero
This post was originally published for Father’s Day in 2011. My dad passed away this month (August 2019). He is missed. On Father’s Day in 2014, I woke up with the beginnings of this poem in my thoughts and proceeded to write Scarred Hands before I ever made it out of bed. Scarred Hands Hands scarred and rough from decades of hard work:Twisting bolts, lifting engines, replacing beltsWhile grease, oil and other liquids stained the skin. Years of taking care of a home, fixing things needing repair;Mowing, plowing, and planting vegetables and flowers;Always, tending to the safety of family with those hands. From hugging his mother, to saluting his sergeant,Wearing…

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to a Garage Sale
My sister and I called our grandmother “Nanny”. My Nanny was definitely one of a kind and I miss her terribly. But, she’s left us with great memories. One involves an incident while she was searching for a garage sale. Nanny had this thing for what she termed “garage sale-ing”. She loved (and that’s not a strong enough word) going to garage sales and looking, even if she didn’t buy anything. But she usually came away with something. She loved the haggling back and forth over price. Boy was she good at it! She would buy stuff and when she accumulated enough, she’d have her own garage sale. Nanny was…
