Today’s Ride: When Book Titles Change, and Why it Takes so Dang Long to Write Them

It happens. Your best-laid plans go awry. Life is full. Things don’t always go as you think they will. As you already know, it took much, MUCH longer for me to write the sequel to On the Buckle than I expected or could ever have imagined. And somewhere along the way, the title, which I’d […]

Today’s Ride: My Street Team

So, this happened. A couple of fans created a street team for me! It is beyond awesome and I can’t even express how grateful I am. What’s a street team you ask? It’s a group of volunteers who band together to promote an author and her work. Right now, it’s small–TWO–but I hope it will […]

Z is for Zigged

I know I started this challenge saying I would write about zealotry for Z. But I honestly couldn’t think of anything to do with that.

Y is for Yank

I thought hearing about my lost red panties in the grocery store was the last of it, but once again, I was wrong. They turned up again shortly after. Malcolm’s friend, Fred, delivered a load of wood to fix the broken fence. Of course, he’d hung something red where the lumber hung out over the […]

X is for X-Ray Vision

When Malcolm and I were at lunch at the art museum, I realized I didn’t have much money to pay for my meal. I hadn’t gotten my first paycheck yet. It was my first exposure to my new boss’s kindness and generosity. I glanced at the menu. Malcolm’s breakfast had left me full. Especially since I […]

W is for Winterlight

After the dust settled and the bad guys were dead or in custody, and the police and sheriff and FBI had all gone home, Malcolm and I finally had some time to ourselves. “So, why do you call this place Winterlight?” I asked him. “Sometimes, in the winter when it’s very cold… ” he trailed […]
