Time For An Update

It’s been a while since I’ve done a writingupdate, so I thought I’d do one today.

*I’m about 80 pages away from finishing my latest work in progress (Emergency Dessert Squad # 3). If all goes well, I will be typing“The End” by Feb. 5th.

*I just received my shipment of Amish Mystery bookmarks and 2016 release postcards which I’ll be readying for shipment to readers around the middle of February (A Churn for the Worse–Amish # 5–releases March 1st).

*With the release of A Churn For the Worse, co...

Ready to Big Farewell to Winter

While we can’t really complain about this winter so far (we’ve only had one measurable–granted, hugely measurable–snowfall so far), I’m still done with it.

Yes, I love boots.

Yes, I love sweaters and jeans.

But the shivering? That I’m done with.

So today, I’m thinking warm and hoping you’ll help me out. What’s your favorite part of warm weather (bonus points if you describe it so well, I actually forget it’s still winter).

A Must See

Looking for a powerful movie?

13 Hours.

Go see it. People were literally crying in the theater.

There was help literally 20 minutes away by air, yet no one was sent.I know who I won’t be voting for in the upcoming presidential race…

One of the Keys To Success

Every year, when I watch one of my kids on stage, I’m reminded of this…

Putting yourself out there, on a stage, behind a music stand, at a podium…it all takes courage.

Tell me something you respect in your kids (or in people in general).

Bits O’ Jonas

In honor of Snowstorm Jonas, Ithink some blizzard-like bits are in order, don’t you?

1) Favorite “blizzard” flavor (if you’ve never been to DQ, it’s basically a thick shake with candy bits inside)?

2) Best personal snowstorm story (most fun would work, too)?

3) Craziest thing you’ve used for Snowman face parts?

4) Gloves or mittens?

Stay safe, everyone!

Snow Day (on the Page, Anyway)

Not too sure how many are still reading this blog, but let’s try a writing exercise. If you’re out there–give it a whirl.

Describe some part of a snow day for us. Just a sentence or two is fine. And whatever aspect of a snow day you choose to focus on, is fine.

C’mon, give it a shot…

Not Snow Wonderful…

So it looks as if we might finally be getting our first snowfall of the season this weekend. Of course it’s a weekend that is rather important to my youngest as it’s when her annual high school dance company show happens.

Ugh is right.

Hopefully, the storm will happen overnight and not affect the shows…or that it only affects the number of shows that can be made up on Sunday.

As for me, I’m eyeballing the net potential snowfall which could hit next week. That one I’m claiming as a reading day...

Field Trip Time!

Today’s “Reading Tuesday” has us going on a field tripto the Whodunit Author blog.

Why? I’m up at bat, divulging “my bff” in each of my three series…

Around the World, Taste Bud Style

So last night I tried “Himalayan” (aka indian) food for the first time.And while I’m a pretty plain eater, there were some things I really enjoyed.

My favorite ethnic food of all (aside from Italian) is probably Japanese (I can never have enough teriyaki).

How about you? What’s your favorite ethnic food?
