It's Race Day in Charlotte and You KNOW What That Means!

Yep! It means yours truly is headed to Charlotte Motor Speedway for some racin'! My boy Kyle won the truck race last night. I wasn't there cause it was my daughter's 17th birthday. But, it's all good. I will be at tonight's race, sitting on the front stretch between the exit of pit road and [...]

Teasin' Ya Tuesday

So, one of my readers, Lynda, emailed me and asked if I was no longer doing Snippet Saturday. Well, for the month of May, I'm not. Most of you that have been with me for a while know how utterly busy May is for me. You know my mother comes to visit for two weeks [...]

Snippet Saturday – Talk Me Down

I have to be honest with you. I'm not really sure what this theme is all about. I'm not really sure how to interpret it. I've been thinking about it all week and still … I got nothin'. So, I'm going to give you what I think it should mean or what it would mean [...]

A Random Thursday Post

Today's post is exactly that. Random. As a matter of fact, it's so random, I completely forgot what I was going to blog about. Isn't that lovely? Let's see if I can at least come up with thirteen things to talk mention… 1. Tonight is the NFL Draft. I think there will definitely be an [...]

The End … Sorta

YAY!!!! *throws confetti, releases balloons, etc…, etc…* Okay, so for those of you that follow my writing, you know I've struggled for months now with it. I've even gone to some very awesome authors for advice, tips, venting, crying, begging, etc… for help. I've gotten some. I've tossed some. I've found something that works for [...]

Cherry Pie Anyone?

I have a friend. Her name is Samantha Kane. She writes a FANTABULOUS historical menage series at Ellora's Cave called Brothers In Arms! If you haven't checked it out, you should! She's amazing with this series. Now, though she has this wonderful, hot, sweet contemporary Male/Male, Cherry Pie, set in a little North Carolina town. [...]

Happy Easter! and Tiramisu French Toast Recipe…

I hope you all have had a wonderful day. We aren't big traditionalists in our house. I grew up going to Sunrise Services and having big dinners after. Easter baskets and candy galore. Hiding dyed eggs. I do baskets for the kids, a little candy, not a lot. We hide eggs, but usually plastic ones. [...]

Snippet Saturday – Humor

Ha. Ha. Ha. Our theme today is humor. Mine isn't downright funny joke-type humor. Mine is more snarky and smartass, etc… humor. My characters are a lot like that as well. Rosie, most of all. So, she should be the one I share with you today. I love her, she's a lot like me in [...]

The Lines of a WIP

As y'all know, I've been writing. And as you know, I usually always have more than one book being written at a time. Usually when I get close to the end of one, I'll concentrate on it solely until it's finished. Or sometimes I'll even work on one a lot until I get to a [...]

Snippet Saturday – Active

Happy Saturday! If you're reading this and you've been caught in an area of bad weather as most of the Southern US has the last 36 hours, I hope you and yours are safe and sound. Today's theme is Active… dancing, singing, sports, etc… So, I think in the spirit of all things Talladega and [...]
