Serendipity

I find this word appealing. The word serendipity, that is. Maybe it’s because so much in my life has been discovered and learned through this process. Take my current work in progress, for example. Little did I know when I started out writing this trilogy, months ago, that I would learn so much information, some… Continue reading Serendipity

A new year and, well…

A new year and, well, I am blogging for the first time in a while. That’s not surprising at all. I have all but quit this blog. And for some odd reason I don’t think it’s for lack of anything to say. If anything, it’s because I’ve had too much on my mind, too much… Continue reading A new year and, well…

Monday Ramblings

Monday greetings! How are you? Thank you for joining me today. Here’s what I’ve been up to lately. First of all, I’ve been so happy to watch my little grandson occasionally while his mommy goes to college. He turned one-year-old the latter part of the summer. He’s so precious and I am very grateful for… Continue reading Monday Ramblings

The Haunting Moon

The moon has been mysteriously beautiful the last few nights. I hope you’ve been able to see it from where you are. Today is the day before my BOOK RELEASE DAY of THE HAUNTING OF LEAH (Book 2 of the Lavender Creek Trilogy) and I am excited and nervous all at the same time. Be sure… Continue reading The Haunting Moon

September is here!

Welcome September! Here’s some of what’s been happening in my world lately. Don’t judge a book by its cover! Nice covers can certainly complement a book’s content, however. I’ve recently launched some new covers for a few of my already published eBooks. These covers convey to me much more about the stories/content than the previous… Continue reading September is here!

The new year: bittersweet?

It’s that time of the year again. The time when we say goodbye to the old year and welcome a brand new one.  It’s always a bittersweet time for me–a time of goodbyes, yet a time to reflect, wrap things up, have some closure, and look forward to the future. Considering that I do my very… Continue reading The new year: bittersweet?

Helpful hashtags for writers

If you are on Twitter, then you know there is an endless sea of hashtags, some used more than others. If you are an author/writer on Twitter, whether traditionally or indie published (or both), there are some hashtags that can be very useful for engaging with other writers, readers, and the book, publishing, and writing… Continue reading Helpful hashtags for writers

Great expectations

 Earlier this spring, I went shopping for flower seeds with my grown son. We picked out several types of flowers that I was familiar with and some I was not—some I’d never planted before. When my children were growing up, several times I took them to the store and let them pick out flower/vegetable seeds… Continue reading Great expectations

My Leap Day Post

Greetings! Pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea and have a seat. I would love for you to join me here at my blog today. I thought I’d celebrate Leap Day and write a blog post since I wouldn’t get an opportunity to post again on February 29 for four more years. Four more years… Continue reading My Leap Day Post

Observations

 Here are some things I have observed that I find interesting, in the area of arts and sciences. Perhaps not as significant as Einstein’s theory of relativity but interesting nonetheless. Fans of Sherlock Holmes are devoted. Similar to those of Star Wars and Star Trek or a music icon, etc. Furthermore, it seems many of the Holmes… Continue reading Observations
