Hey, everyone. Here we are on the last day of June. The year is half gone, and I can’t say I’m sorry. Like many people, I’m ready to put 2020 to rest. I was on vacation last week, or rather “staycation.” We didn’t even do a day trip, but I enjoyed relaxing at home. It’s... Continue Reading →
Hey, everyone. It's always a pleasure to host friend and fellow author Mae Clair. She has a brand-new release, the third and final of her Hode's Hill Series. I've read all three books and had decided this one is my favorite. Let's welcome Mae! Joan, many thanks for hosting me on your blog. It’s a... Continue Reading →
Hey everyone. Can I cheat a little this week? This is neither a work in publication or a work in progress (unless you count my character sketches and outline). I am taking the plunge and participating in this year’s NaNoWriMo. In case you don’t know, November is National Novel Writing Month. The goal (or challenge)... Continue Reading →

I wrote The Keeper’s House for inclusion in that collection. Today, I’ll tell you the story behind the story. Rain fell steadily on an April night in Deep East Texas. We’d had... Continue Reading →

I had several in my archives. Some are incomplete, others finished, but all in dire need of editing and... Continue Reading →
Hey y’all. It’s time for another Tuesday Book Share. I’ve been able to wheedle down my TBR list in the past few weeks. One of the books I read was Marcia Meara’s Swamp Ghosts, the first of her Riverbend Series. Marcia published this book five years ago, but if you haven’t read it, I highly... Continue Reading →
Hi, y'all. Time for another WIP Wednesday. Today's post is about a "Work in Publication." Yesterday, my book Unknown Reasons got some attention over at Marcia's blog. (If you didn't read the review, click here to see the post.) I decided to share a little more about the background to this story. When I began... Continue Reading →
Hey, y’all. A few days ago, friend and fellow author Staci Troilo and I were brainstorming ways to increase the number of blog posts we do and have a planned blogging schedule. I already had the Mystery Monday feature in mind, as well as to resume my Friday Week in Review posts. I have to... Continue Reading →
