The Timeless Romance of Train Travel

There’s just something about train travel… I didn’t actually take my first train ride until I was an adult, but I knew I would love it before I even stepped onto the platform, and I was right.

We Interrupt This Post for a Hot Bath…

Today is my usual Social Media Monday day. Sadly, however, I won’t be writing a helpful post for you. Partly because I’m still information-gathering for the one I wanted to write, but mostly because yesterday was my first yardwork/gardening day. And I may have overdone it just a little. Have I mentioned that my entire front yard … Read More

Self-Publishing: The Devil is in the Details

With Forever Grace being my third self-publishing effort, you’d think I’d have the hang of the process by now, wouldn’t you? Ha. Not. It turns out that the process is more of a continuous learning curve than something set in stone. And (for me at least) that learning curve is jam-packed with every kind of niggly little … Read More

Excuses, Excuses… (and an attempt at a schedule)

So here we are at another Monday, and I find myself empty-handed with regard to a social media post…again. Damn, but this staying organized and on schedule thing is tough. I’m not giving up, however. I’m stubborn that way. I’m actually stubborn in a lot of ways, if you believe my husband…but that’s a whole other post. For … Read More

Pen Envy is an Ugly Thing

For the last several months, I’ve been getting together with fellow writer Marie Bilodeau for weekly coffee meetings. Both of us are full-time writers working from home, which can be a lonely existence, and we thought it would do both of us good to get out of our houses for real live human interaction (as … Read More

It’s SPRING!!!

by Last autumn, I heard predictions that the winter would be one of severe cold. I had my doubts about the accuracy of those predictions when we very nearly had a green Christmas,  but then January set in, and holy mother of frozen wastelands, did we ever get cold. Then colder. Then colder still. And the worst … Read More
