My Winter Reads


With revision of Bronze complete, I had originally hoped that these would be my Fall reads, but Gaiman's American Gods took me far too long to read and I'm reading Percy Jackson now in an attempt to catch up a little - I'm woefully behind on my Reading Challenge!

Northwest Roadtrip 2015

{On the road, hills covered with pines, firs, and oaks} {On the road, hills covered with pines, firs, and oaks}

First the bad news: I got absolutely no writing done during these two weeks. I had hoped to pick up writing my last chapters of the upcoming book, but between being busy from the time I got up in the morning to the time we quit, and being completely exhausted (brain dead) after that, it didn't happen.

The good news is that my daughter-in-law (who I will call Susan) and grandson (I'll call Stanley, which is actually his middle name after m...
