Love is worth the risk
Oops is a word you don’t want to hear from a surgeon, a pilot, or an author when her newest book just came out. That was me last Tuesday, ready to celebrate the release of Tattered Honor. The new release had the correct cover, but the interior had Book 3, Inconvenient Honor, instead of Book […]
Tomorrow Tattered Honor slips out into the great sea of historical romance. Wish it well my friends. I hadn’t planned a party to celebrate, but I think I’ll used the occasion to offer a gift or two and post some travel and history in Caroline Warfield’s Fellow Travelers on Facebook. Last week—be still my heart—I […]
I’m back from my travels, avoiding the heat, and tap dancing as fast as I can. Figuratively speaking, of course. I’m dancing among projects and Life as usual. The cane in the picture is more real. After falling (yes again–banged my knee) I decided I need to keep using it, if only to remind me […]
I’m off to visit Texas and a good friend. We will talk and talk, mostly about books, as we’ve been doing for 65 years. (Really) Consequently I won’t be back to put up a Coffee posting next Monday. I’m leaving things in good shape. Honor at Heart, Book Four, Tattered Honor is up for pre-order. I will […]
Pushing forward day after day, as many words as you can eke out, is sometimes what it takes to get a story finished. It doesn’t always flow like water. Some of you know I’ve been struggling the past month. Step by step, pushing myself along, I finished a rough draft of “Not Again, Harry,” for […]
Tra La, it’s May, the, er…blessed month of May. My world has been exploding with birds, blossoms, and butterflies. I decided I was at the point I had to either move to one of those independent retirement apartments or hire help with the yard. I hired help. Flowers have been planted, and the squirrels are […]
Juggling two stories, two deadlines, and life works until it doesn’t. When the balls all fall on my head, I go a little brain dead for a while. The only thing for it is to take long walks and try to reboot my brain. My church project, a Trivia Night, went off with out a […]
Getting started on a new story—again—is never easy. I envisioned a story about Harry, the Magic Mouse for the Bluestocking Belles collection for October, Moonlight Madness. I could see my heroine seeking refuge (in a storm, of course) in a creepy house that belongs to a mysterious recluse with Harry in her pocket and no […]
And I see well. I just had a follow up appointment. Post cataract surgery, my vision is 20-20 without glasses. My goodness! And I see my yard full of flowers and flowering trees. (Oh joy!) and beds with encroaching weeds (rats). I see my old vegetable bed going to weed (and more rats). A light-bulb […]
I set a tight list of things to do last week and actually accomplished it all. Book three, Inconvenient Honor, has been loaded to Amazon so I will be able to distribute ARC copies this week and begin pre-order. Books 1 and 2 went live and I got most of my links for them updated. […]
