Choosing is always difficult… But, I think in the spirit of the season and winter and cold (in some places), we’ll go with something that lends itself to a little warming up… Snippet: Jane walked away from the large window in the kitchen that overlooked downtown.

Snippet Saturday – Celebration

It’s been a while, yeah? I simply needed a break, but for the next few months I’m back. This snippet is about celebration. I’ll have to pull out Ink Spots for this I think… It’s the closest I have to a celebration of any kind at this time. Snippet: Mandi glanced around when Jaz pulled [...]

In the city it’s snowing, the sidewalks are glowing, but there’s someplace that I’d rather be. Thousands of people all walking by, and somehow I’m still alone. I’m gonna spend winter my way. Those are a few lyrics from a Christmas song titled Indiana Christmas by Straight No Chaser. I bought the album a few [...]
