July Book Reviews

My summer blogging break continues, but the end is in sight, and I’ll be easing back into WordPress soon. I’ve been traveling, painting, editing (as slow as cold molasses), and playing pirate with the hubby (I’ll share photos, I promise). I hope your summer (or winter) has been all you wished it to be. I’ve […]

June Book Reviews

I’m still on a summer break and busy as a bee, but I have some indie book reviews that can’t wait for September. And it’s time for a quick visit too, partly because I miss you, but I also need more books! Below are my 4 and 5-star reads of a memoir, a psychological drama/murder […]

A Summer Break

That’s me right now, but I don’t look quite so serene. This summer, I thought I could manage to travel, pet sit, garden, stain the deck, paint a mural, finish writing a book, blog, and provide increased care for my dad. I was clearly kidding myself. Inspired by one of my Story Empire colleagues, I’ve […]

May Book Reviews

I just returned from hiking among the giant Redwoods of Northern California. I hugged a lot of trees, (very gently and without stepping on ferns). The spiritual energy in those utterly silent forests made me dizzy. I could have grown roots and stayed. And of course, there was time to read. Below are my 4 […]

Date A Girl Who Reads

I saved this the first time I heard it – a fun piece by Rosemarie Urquico. Enjoy! Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants […]

24 Seasons of Poetry: Spring in the Desert

My seasons of poetry for the past 8 months have focused on the lovely weather of the Pacific Northwest – rain, rain, and more rain. I have something new for a change – rain in the dry Arizona’s desert! I kid you not. We didn’t let it stop us from enjoying the great outdoors though. … … Continue reading →

April Book Reviews

During my blog break, my husband and I spent about 44 hours in the car, driving to and from Arizona. My phone read indie books to us the whole way. That’s a lot of books! And as you might guess, the time zipped by. Below are my 5-star reads of an eco-thriller, a fantasy about … … Continue reading →

A Blogging Break to Hike Sedona

I’m heading out a short blogging break, and since I’ll be offline until the end of the month, I thought I’d give you the lowdown. I’m off to Arizona to do some hiking in the red rocks before the summer heat sets in. I’ll be exploring Sedona’s spiritual vortexes, taking in some desert sights, and … … Continue reading →

24 Seasons of Poetry: Spring

Spring has arrived in the Pacific Coast Range. I’ve been ailing for weeks, one thing after another, but with the yanking of a very grumpy tooth, I’m really truly on the mend. Finally. And through it all, I kept up writing poetry. In response to Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday syllabic poetry challenges, I have 4 poems […]
