The New Year’s Un-Resolution
I have finally–finally!–realized that I am a failure at resolutions, so there is no point in making them. I’ve had too many years of swearing that this time I’ll nail that diet and lose twenty pounds. Come to think of it, dieting is the only resolution I ever really made. (And consistently failed at, I…
What is a Friend?
What is a friend? I lost a friend today. Not because she died, but because she rejected our friendship. While working through the hurt, I began to wonder what makes one person a friend when another will never be more than an acquaintance. In these times when we can communicate over long distances it’s possible…
Shopping at Goodwill
I am not a big shopper and only go when I need something and can’t find what I want online. I shopped at a local Goodwill this past Friday. What a freaking mess the place was. And way overpriced. A bit of a shock, really. I used to be able to find quality, gently used…
Get ready, set, go!
One newsletter down, one more to write. Amazing how much time they take. I’d hoped to get a short story written today, but it isn’t happening. Watched the UConn women beat Marquette. Priorities. 😉 Hoping 2023 brings good things to everyone. This year has been a mixed bag for me, leaning more toward the positive….
Perspective
This morning it’s nearly 40 degrees, which feels downright balmy after 30 below. If we were heading into winter, 40 would feel frigid. It’s all a matter of perspective, and where you sit on the stick. Perspective affects everything. Cushy bank account? That series you loved in newly released hardcover is well worth the cost….

December Special
I can’t believe I forgot to tell you all about this. A reader asked me if I could please create a boxset of my Destination Death books so she could afford to read them over the holidays. (Boxsets usually give a reader the opportunity to buy a series at a lower price than if they…
Feeling thankful . . .
Quiet and warm here on the farm in flyover country. The 4” of snow we received last week has mostly melted in the 40 degree temps, creating a lovely soft mist in the early mornings. I take the dogs for a walk before sunup and watch the world wake up, although the crows have been…
The Creative Well
Election Day and I intend to vote. I hope you will too, no matter if you vote differently. The point is to exercise your right to have a say in our future. On the home front, cider-making has wrapped up for 2022, and what a year it was! Nearly nineteen gallons frozen in half gallon…
Special Offer for my Kobo VIP Readers
I can’t believe I forgot to mention this special offer! The first box set in the Junkyard Dog series is 40% off this week only for all Kobo VIP readers. The set includes Junkyard Dog, Kraken Blues, and Deadly Cargo. Full book descriptions can be found here.
Fall Cider Making
We planted a very small organic apple orchard with dwarf trees when we moved here twenty plus years ago. There have been a few years when conditions have been right and we’ve had apples to press for cider, although never very much. This year we hit the jackpot. Spring blossoms arrived without freezing or getting…
Mother Nature
“When we are disgusted with the pettiness of mankind we may turn in appreciation to the grandeur of Nature.” Paul Brunton I have to admit that I’ve been mighty disgusted with the pettiness of mankind lately. I am incredibly fortunate that I live in a place where I can turn my back on mankind and…
