As Times Change--
I am so late in posting this, I almost considered not doing it. But then I went to Blockbusters and had a little epiphany. Can one have small epiphanies?
I know some of you are surprised that I found a Blockbusters as they have been mass shut-down over the past couple of years and this one is no different--it's in it's last days.
My epiphany was how much I think we're going to miss by not having movie stores. And how much we'll miss bookstores if Barnes and Noble can't find a way to compete wit...

Hiya, WordWrangler Readers! It's our pleasure today to welcome Sharon Cullen into the Round Corral for a little Q&A session (and to get a peek at her new historical Loving the Earl, of course)!
WW: Please tell us a little about yourself.
Sharon: This is always a tough question because I want to be different and to make myself sound so exciting. Like I’ve travel all over the world and jump out of airplanes and swim with sharks. But, sadly, I don’t do any of those things. For one, I’m terrif...

Guest Paty Jager
Pack Horses to Dog Sleds When I decided to place Jeremy’s story in Alaska, it was so I could show a part of history that I’m not proud of. While visiting Skagway, Alaska on our 30th anniversary Alaskan cruise, I was appalled to learn of the 3000+ horse carcasses that littered the White Pass. My plan was to have my hero be a guide and packer using horses. He starts out that way at the beginning of the story, but the year and time I needed, because of the great rush for the Yukon was so short,...

On my way to no
As in: NaNo this year?Uhm. No. I don't think so.
But then--
Maybe I should try to finish my WIP or at least add 50K of substance to it. Even though the official rules of NaNo suggest that you begin with a new project. However, if you read the fine print, it says if you've finished NaNo or a book previously, it is okay to work on WIP.
So--I was thinking about going that route. Finishing my WIP, but I hadn't committed. I didn't go to any local pre-NaNo activities or even to my NaNo pag...

All about me...again!
Way too often, I’m all about me. I don’t wantto be—I want to be the Mother Theresa of feminism, the light of reluctant liberalism, the best cook in Grandmothers of America, Best Example of Christianity you know, the…well, never mind, I’m not those things. But I am in there swinging. And, whether I like it or not, I think I write about myself a lot.
No matter what my heroines do for a living,...
