A Yummy Recipe That Will Keep You Out of the Kitchen

Cooking during the hot weather is never fun! But summer or winter I use my crock pot a lot. One of my favorite recipes is my Working Woman’s Stew because you can fool with it in many ways and always fun to experiment.  
And what more fun can one have than to throw dinner in the slow cooker and then go do what you really want to do. And no, I don’t mean cleaning!

Love Stinks Anthology Available for Pre Order!

It’s been fun writing short stories for anthologies because you can pretty much write anything. I was thrilled to write another one after writing how Fluff and Puff first met a teenage Jazz.
 
It seemed only right for the next one to write about Courtney and the theme, Love Stinks, worked very well for the teenager who does what she can to give witchy Maggie heartburn and migraines.
 
This time around, Courtney lands in a world that is dangerous, the opposite of all she knows and in t...

The New Member of the Wisdom Pack

I am grateful for all the notes from people after Barney went to Rainbow Bridge. They were much appreciated.  
It has been difficult. He was my special baby and I miss him every day. At the same time, I watched Katie grieve and knew she missed her brother. They played all the time and were inseparable.  
We knew Katie needed a playmate, but we didn’t want to rush into anything.  
I searched for mini Schnauzer rescue groups, hoping to find one that spoke to me....

Barney Wisdom 8/12/06 - 6/02/13

First off, thank you all for your words of comfort. I read them all and I really appreciate them.

Four years ago this month a scruffy white dog suddenly showed up in our front yard. He wrapped his front legs around mine as if to say “I live here now”. Collar, no tags, so I took him inside. Although more like he led me inside and promptly hopped into my mom’s chair. With no idea of his name Barney popped into my head and he answered to it immediately. I put the found dog word out but didn’t he...

Why Foreword Literary? Why now?

Good afternoon! A lot has been going on and the message below from my agent will explain part of it.

Before I became a literary agent in 2005, I had previously spent 25 years in high tech marketing working with clients such as Apple Computer, Adobe Systems, Intuit, Hotmail and hundreds of other companies. It was a heady time in our culture with technological advances occurring at the speed of light. It also proved to me that technology can transform an industry, big or small, creating chaos,...

Fluff and Puff on the Naughty List

“You’re on the Naughty List!”

“No, you’re on the Naughty List!”

Red, gold and dark green sparks of magick flew through the air as the bunny slippers faced off.

“Santa wrote Fluff on the naughty list,” Puff insisted, glaring at his brother slipper.

“The name there is Puff,” Fluff countered, shooting another a red spear of power at him. The slipper deftly avoided the weapon.

“Hey! What in Hades is going on here?” A wide-eyed Jazz stared the disaster zone once known as her bedroom.

Her black and whi...

Tis The Season!

It’s natural that Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. And Christmas is right up there.

Let’s see. With one, you can get lots of candy. The other you can get lots of candy, cookies, and presents. But that’s not why I love the two holidays. Well, maybe a little bit.

I love the colors and the energy that comes with it. There is nothing more enjoyable than driving around at night and seeing all the decorations. I remember growing up where the house of an aerospace engineer always had incred...

Mom, I Haz An Owie

Our Katie was spayed yesterday.

Poor baby isn’t happy and who can blame her?

We dropped her off at the clinic yesterday morning and picked her up in the late afternoon. She was groggy, wearing her cone, and very happy to see Mom and Dad.

It’s been fifteen years since we’ve gone through this and amazing what the mind forgets!

Or maybe it’s because Katie’s older since she’s about eighteen months old. My husband and I took turns keeping her in our arms since she was most comfortable that way. Wh...
