It seems these days we find ourselves under a lot of pressure. I find myself more and more needing to care for those aroundContinue Reading
Bad Heat Wave in Life? Try God…..
A surprise heat wave in life got you down? I can relate. We’ve been in the depth of a surprise heat wave this April- the third straight day here with temperatures in the 90’s when it should be 70. I don’t do too well when the sun is so hot, as it kind of wrecksContinue Reading

Last week I paid tribute to a reader who loved my books. This week I was on one of my writing forums, and we were discussing readers who didn’t like our books. Those that left interesting comments on blogs and book sites, or who sent back the surveys that are sometimes found in the backContinue Reading
In Tribute of a Dear Fan of my Books…
For the next ten days I will leave this blog up – a tribute to the loss of a beloved fan of my books. As a writer I tended to take my readers for granted. Those that have read my books and who have sought to talk to me about them. This week I lostContinue Reading
