The Meaning of Colors
Color is all around us and writers use a lot of color in telling a story. Readers visualize the characters knowing the color of their eyes, hair, and clothes. Animals, landscape, foods–it’s impossible to write a story without using the various shades and hues. There’s a reason why hospitals use a lot of blue, churches […]

SAECULUM–HOW LONG WILL WE BE REMEMBERED? by Cheryl Pierson
I learned a new word the other day, thanks to a dear friend of mine, Sharon Cunningham. She posted on Facebook about the word, “saeculum”—which was one that I’d never heard of.

19th Century Childcare by Charlene Raddon
One of the things I enjoy in writing is the research. I love learning new things. For my current series, Bachelors & Babies, I needed to learn about childbirth and childcare in the 19th Century. During the 1800s, infant mortality was shockingly high. Many died before the age of one, and a relative few lived […]
