Peering Forward

My restful week was followed by a busy one. Life had me going in many directions, writing had me going in several more both with the Bluestocking Belles and on my own desk. “Here and Now” for Fenwick Forevers completed fixes from its development edit and off to copy edit. My as yet on named […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

They are on my website with their pre-order links. Family Honor is a novella, originally intended as a prequel to the series. It has […]

Wishes

However you celebrate this darkest time of year, I wish you warmth, light, joy with family and friends, and books—piles of wonderful books As to me, having celebrated Hanukkah with part of my family, I’m traveling to celebrate Christmas with the rest. I will see you after the first of the year, certainly before twelfth […]

Names Names Names

This weekend I began working on a made-to-order story that I plan to give to my newsletter subscribers in December. At the start of any story one of the challenges is naming characters, titles, and places. For historical romance they should be authentic, attractive, and, especially in the case of titles, wholly fictional. Christian names […]
