Six Sentence Sunday – About That Necklace

Returning one more time to my Ancient Egyptian paranormal WARRIOR OF THE NILE, to be published by Carina Press in September 2013. Khenet the warrior of the title, and Lady Tiya are sailing down the Nile on their journey…I had so many people wanting to know last week whether Khenet bought the necklce for Tiya, I promised to provide the answer today – but no more excerpts from this until closer to the publication date LOL! Their ship has put into the harbor of a small city for a day and Tiya ha...

A Personal Perspective on Grief and Loss

The recent horrific events in Connecticut make my heart ache for all those who are grieving and trying to figure out how to cope, what to do, what the next steps are.

No one can ever understand how another person actually feels. No one should ever try to tell them “how they should mourn” or “this is how it will be”. Each journey though the time is individual. I offer my experience today in case it might help anyone in even the slightest way…and I send hugs and prayers to all those who are suff...

Six Sentence Sunday – Something for Your Lady?

Returning one more time to my Ancient Egyptian paranormal WARRIOR OF THE NILE, to be published by Carina Press in September 2013. Khenet the warrior of the title, and Lady Tiya are sailing down the Nile on their journey…I left them in such sad state last week, with her suffering from a migraine, so here’s a happier snippet from a bit later in the story. Their ship has put into the harbor of a small city for a day and Tiya asks Khenet to accompany her on a trip to the marketplace.

“Something fo...

What Goes In A Civilization Starter Kit?

As a science fiction reader from way back, who was always fascinated by End Of The World As We Know It (EOTWAWKI) scenarios, a recent news buzz about a guy who’d actually created a “Civilization Starter Kit” caught my eye!

While this might sound like something exclusively for doomsday preppers in case of electromagnetic pulse, nuclear incidents, fuel shortages, war, pandemics, zombies….the kit’s inventor., Marcin Jakubowski, has his mind primarily set on another purpose.

In 2007, Marcin identif...

Six Sentence Sunday – Along the River Nile

Returning one more time for now to my Ancient Egyptian paranormal WARRIOR OF THE NILE, which was just acquired by Carina Press for publication in September 2013. Khenet the warrior of the title, and Lady Tiya have just been through a meeting with the goddess Nepthys and a meeting with Pharaoh. Now they’re sailing down the Nile on their journey but Tiya is unwell. Khenet has brought her on deck to see if fresh air will help matters. Taneb, the captain of the ship River Horse is speaking:

“Bad l...

What’s IN, What’s OUT, Do We Agree?

Lots of “In and Out” lists going around this time of the year…I tend to be pretty “stick in the mud”, if it works for me why change it…so I thought I’d go through a few of the lists and see where I might stand.

Fashion is always dear to my heart, even if nowadays I’m to be found at Ross Dress For Less or Target more often than the big department stores. According to a page I clipped from a fashion magazine I can’t identify (no, really, the page I tore doesn’t show their name – sorry!), what’s...

Ten Things I Enjoyed in November

Ten Things I Enjoyed in November:

Leaving out the trip to Disneyland because that was a blog all by itself…and counting Thanksgiving as a big, happy holiday, which it was for us…

Going in no certain order (I do love stream of consciousness, SUCH a pantster):

1. Baking my annual pumpkin pies from scratch, using the recipe I’ve had since I was seven…

2. Getting some very good news about my writing – Carina Press will be publishing my next Ancient Egyptian paranormal romance, WARRIOR OF THE NILE, in...
