In the Writer’s House #8
After nearly melting last week in the 100+ degree heat wave, we are now in the more respectable lower 90s and high 80s and we can all breathe again. Very important, that. Over the weekend I survived my second oldest’s 16th birthday party with seven teenage girls. We transported them to the new Spiderman movie […]

Hello Everyone! I have been a busy beaver this last week, printing out chapters and reading through them again. We found the hole punch so I started printing chapters in batches and putting them in a small binder to read through for my last rewrite of Heir Force before it goes on to first readers. […]

Hello, I’m a day late this week, but I figured you’d all forgive me, right? Right? Oh, good. Thanks. We were in Kansas City, Missouri this weekend visiting with my parents and my brothers and sister-in-law. Had a good time, eating barbecue and playing the game ‘Things’, which always brings some laughs. And then Tuesday […]

Hello there! How was your 4th yesterday? Did you celebrate with family and friends? We had a barbeque with my parents and another couple from our church. The kids did a few fireworks when it got dark enough…they aren’t my favorite thing, but for some reason the kids love them. And poor Ripley (he’s in […]

It is still a work day for me, as I am doing some writing tasks, but nothing too strenuous, don’t worry! (Look for updates tomorrow!) Later our family will celebrate with […]

Hello, How is your summer going? I can’t believe how fast June is going; the first full month of my summer is almost gone already! I have been working diligently on the ending of Heir Force. The book is going in a slightly different direction than originally planned, but that’s not a problem. I see […]

This week it’s quiet in the house all morning after I drop all the kids off at community vacation Bible school (VBS). My older two are workers, and the younger two students. This gives me my mornings free for writing. So, how much writing am I getting done? Um, not as much as I should […]

Last month I read nine books, all novels this time. I read a couple for the summer reading program, and discovered two new to me authors. I read my first title from Gayle Roper, Shadows on the Sand, a mystery in New Jersey with ties to a cult out west. I also read my first […]

This week in the writer’s house we watched the fascinating Thunderbirds this past weekend at Scott Air Force Base, near where we live. We saw most of their practice from our driveway on Friday afternoon, but on Sunday we drove to a small nearby airport where we could see the whole show.The kids really enjoyed […]
