Writer's block, every writer's worst enemy.

I go somewhere else to write. For example, in finishing Simply to Die For last June, I found that going to either the park (until it got to darn hot here in Oklahoma to at the park during the day) or McDonalds worked wonders!
Sometimes a change of scenery really helps.

Also, I have gone back to "old school" where I start writing in a notebook with a pen/pencil. There's something about physically putting the words to paper that makes it personal.

It's An Author's Life

Labor Day weekend, aka the last camping weekend of the season. At least it is in my home state of Wisconsin. The two biggest weekends for camping there are Memorial Day and Labor Day. Whether you tent camp or have the comforts of an RV/camper, I hope you’ve enjoyed the last hurrah of summer before fall really sets in.

And speaking of fall, it’s finally football season! While pre-season is over for Read more of this blog post »

I almost put this book down once I figured out what it was about. However, I pushed through and rather enjoyed reading it once I got into Book 2. In the end, I was rooting for the main character in so many ways. Sorry -- not giving any spoilers.

Murder in Paradise

As odd as it may seem, up until now I've never read an Agatha Christie book even though I've leather bound collection. I found I like Miss Marple, a lot. She's like a kindly grandmother and nothing, well almost nothing, escapes her.
