Heart Rings now available for your Kindle

Years ago, I was given a “story jar.” A mason jar that contained miscellaneous items, like buttons and an earring and a sewing needle and a small writing pen and a ribbon, etc. The idea behind it was that when a writerneeded a story idea, she would lookat the items in the jar, choose one, and then begin to spin a tale about it.

I’m pleased to announce that Heart Rings,my novella fromThe Story Jar,i...

Missing Daddy, Missing Pieces

Today we celebrateFather’s Day in the USA. I never got to celebrate a Father’s Day with my own dad, not counting when I was an infant of about five or six weeks old.
