Death Comes to Pemberley – Review

If you don’t know by now that I’m more than half in love with Darcy, you haven’t been paying attention. Today I watched the last two episodes of Death Comes to Pemberley, a Pride and Prejudice sequel/variation based on the mystery written by the brilliant P.D. James. It was great to step into Pemberley and […]

Interstellar – Movie Review

I don’t see many movies in the theater, unless Richard Armitage is in the cast. I watch most movies online. However, I’m writing a novel with a hero with a southern accent and I thought a few hours of Matthew McConaughey would be useful, so I went to see Interstellar. Wow. This was fun movie […]

Picking Perry Mason’s Brain

I thought I loved my Kindle, and I do — there are three in my house right now — but now I love the Kindle app on my phone even more. I can read little snippets of books while I’m waiting just about anywhere. One of this week’s wonderful reads is a book about Erle […]

We can’t all be Elizabeth Bennet

I have been rereading Pride and Prejudice lately and that has led me to reread other Jane Austen books. Mansfield Park is not my favorite Austen novel – I still get a little wigged about first cousins marrying, although I know it’s legal in most places, etc., and Fanny Price is not as fun as […]

Married to Santa is now available

Here’s my latest creation. Caroline has only two small problems this Christmas season. 1.  She has amnesia. 2.  The man who says he’s her husband thinks he’s Santa Claus. Married to Santa is a sweet, quirky, rated PG Christmas novella.  It is available only on Amazon.

I quilt, therefore I am

Quilting is an odd hobby. You buy perfectly good fabric, chop it up into tiny triangles and squares and sew it back together again. But I love it. In my view, quilts are works of art. If you’ve noticed, my videos have my quilts in the background, and there are references to quilts and other […]

Principles of Love

My two cents. Maybe seven cents.

Into the Storm – Movie Review

Here’s my review of Into the Storm, with SPOILERS. Read at your own risk. I thoroughly enjoyed Into the Storm – it was a lot of fun – but somewhere in the final editing, they lost two important lines: At the end, when Gary is standing with his sons, talking about how important family is, […]

Baby Comes First — another new cover

Sixth time is the charm.  I hope. Actually, this book is doing well.  People like love stories about pregnant heroines. First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in the baby carriage — but Hannah is doing it in the wrong order. . What do you think of the new cover??

The eyes have it – Richard Armitage as Gisborne

I’m looking forward to Into the Storm this week, and one thing lead to another in my YouTube viewing. I had forgotten some of my favorite parts of BBC Robin Hood. I have never been drawn to the bad boy. Thematically, I prefer geeky professors, guys next door and powerful business men. But Guy of […]
