What? Where? Who?
I’m not always distracted. With two big church projects, family/friends to keep up with, and house/yard people coming some is inevitable. Those are the easy ones. Social media? It is a constant maze of loose thought. I go to ask or answer a question, see something shiny and I’m off like a dog on a […]
Life and Sunshine
Monday dawns again to a bright sunny day and an aching shoulder. Again. I’ve been back to my physical therapy exercises and they help for a while. I had a few days when both shoulders, my elbows and my hands ached. I have no idea why, but such is life and it impacts writing. At […]
Well Rats
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 […]
Another Launch
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 […]
On the Road Again
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 […]
Deadlines
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 […]
Juggling
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
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 […]
I See
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 […]
