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 […]
Press Gangs
Elizabeth Donne joins us this week with facts about Royal Navy Press Gangs and the part they play in her novella in Moonlight Madness. My novella, “Always with You,” appears in the Bluestocking Belles’ Halloween-themed anthology, Moonlight Madness, which is available for pre-order until its launch October 15.

Not Missing, Honest
Where was I last week? I was in Cape May New Jersey allowing a good friend to do all the driving and wait on me while I rested my shoulder. Two Mondays ago I was pretending it was better than it was. That trip to the airport did me in. I was actually battling some […]
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 […]
Another Launch

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 […]

Although The Legend Begins is a Regency novella, the legend itself supposedly originated in 924AD with a scribe called Alwin. Medieval scribes are commonly imagined as monks, copying […]
It’s May
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
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 […]
