Love is worth the risk
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 […]
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 […]

I write this on Labor Day and I am reminded that labor comes in many forms. It be done with hands, with shovels, with machinery, with cloth, with muscle, with mind, or even with a keyboard. However it occurs, it should be done lovingly and with pride. I’m a believer in Lincoln’s statement that capital […]
One down and one to go in my parade of novellas. “Well Done, Harry” went to the editor Friday. To get it there I had to consolidate comments from my beta readers***, edit it, add an author’s note and my bio, and proof it word by word. For that last step, I’m now using the […]
Life, as always, rolls along, sometimes aiding the writing, sometimes interfering. Dogsitting, for example. I always swore I would never call a small animal my “Granddog” no matter how adorable and affectionate he might be. Family is family; dogs are dogs. But lately I’m softening. My daughter’s dog visited for the weekend while his hoomans […]
