Love is worth the risk
Oh happy day–the sun is shining and for the first time in over a month I’m not overwhelmed by my deadlines and to-do list. Last week I accomplished what I planned. Here and Now got run-through and tidy up before going to the development editor and (bonus) a beta reader. I also finished my newsletter […]
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 […]
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 […]
New Month. Where did August go? And new stories in Moonlight. Moonlight Madness has moved forward; it is available for pre-order. As the intrepid project manager I have assembled a full draft and getting ready to put it in vellum. That will enable the authors to share it to reviewers and ARC readers. We’ll give […]
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 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 […]
…and hoping I don’t hit rocks. My to do list is a mile long and I’m on my second coffee. Two big things this week: 1. Keep Honor at Heart moving 2. Review my schedule for Book Lovers Con in Vegas and pack. Some small ones in real life, too, before I go away. Honor […]
March crept in like a lamb but it has been roaring like a lion for a week. Happy Saint Patrick’s Day, or, if your area is like mine, Happy Irish week! Parades, green everything and shenanigans. Much has been done lately and there is much to do. The final copy for Family Honor and A […]
A jarring sound and a voice yelling FIRE woke me up in the middle of the night. One (but only one) of my fire alarms went off. I turned it off and checked high and low. No smoke. No fire. It happened four times, alas. I put an air filter on in the room and […]
