Bev’s Triple Chocolate Milkshake
[image error]
Readers of my series THE REVEL NIGHT SAGA know that Bev’s Diner is where plans are hatched, new friendships are established, secrets revealed, and a place to go when one is in need of comfort food.
A burger, onion rings, and Bev’s famous Triple Chocolate Milkshake will fix everything! And save room for a piece of Marionberry pie!

Hello Internet, Ten Years Later…

February 4th 2010 on a website then called Wishing For Horses this appeared.
It was my first blog post.
Thinking back I didn’t really know what I wanted to do with my shiny new website but I was excited! I had a lot of ideas!
Would I chronicle my life as a parent of sons (then) aged 15 & 13? (turns out no, definitely not) I could write restaurant reviews? (nah) Maybe I’d become an agony aunt and give advice to the lovelorn of the internet? (hard pass)
Eventually my imagination settled down...

Wayward Son
Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell is the sequel to Carry On. And if that statement has started an ear-worm of a certain Kansas song then you are not alone! Something I suspect was not a coincidence.
It’s appropriate considering this is a story about a road trip. A crazy, careening, out of control road trip that is the perfect follow up to the crazy, careening, out of control first book in what looks to be a three book series.
The story is supposed to be over.
