Free Prompt Book
Sorry to bother you all again, but because August is going so fast, I forgot to mention that the prompt book I co-wrote with my writing group is free this weekend. We updated the cover and Prompted to Write is free today through Sunday for those interested. It includes some bio info on each of us, lots […]
August Reading Wrap Up
Good golly, I can’t believe August is almost over already. And I thought June and July went by fast! I did not read as many books this month, because I’ve been watching videos on how to get more books into the library system and how to make it easier for librarians to add them to […]

Writing Prompt Wednesday #44: Afterwords Books
Since I’m all for books and book stores, I thought we’d talk about favorite book stores today. Last week the kids and I drove up north a little ways to Edwardsville, IL, where we went to the indie book store, Afterwords Books. Here’s what it looks like: It’s a cool Victorian house with many rooms […]

Writing Prompt Wednesday #41
It’s going back to school time! For this week’s prompt, let’s talk about a new year of school. I always enjoyed returning back to school.

July Reading Wrap Up
Wow, I thought June’s wrap up came fast. July’s came even faster! This month, I haven’t read as many books, because I was trying to set up a signing in Nebraska for when we would be there, but after several calls and looking up bakeries and coffee shops, it wasn’t to be. I read a […]
