Legends, Lore, and More
Hey, everyone. I joined Net Galley a few years ago, but until recently hadn't taken advantage of requesting many books until now. Blurb If you can’t trust your father and you can’t trust the police, who can you trust Sue Hearn is planting a herb garden on the site of her grandfather’s old greenhouse. She’s... Continue Reading →
Hey, everyone. I've been working toward wheedling down my TBR list. Okay, so that's laughable, but I've only purchased six books this month. (So far.) We won't talk about my Net Galley list. Anyhow, I've had Dark Hollows sitting on my Kindle for a year, so the time to read it was long overdue. Blurb... Continue Reading →
Hey, everyone. Over the past few years, I've branched out into reading several different genres, but my favorite is always a good murder mystery or suspense story. The Girls Weekend was just that. A big thanks to Mae Clair for recommending this one! https://read.amazon.com/kp/card?asin=B07XM3MGB4&preview=inline&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_PJccGbXP8AEN0 Blurb: Their reunion just became a crime scene . . ....

Hey, everyone. WIP Wednesday means one of two things. Most of the time I write about a work in progress, but other times it's a work in publication. Today's post is about the latter. So, here we go… For those of you who have followed this blog for a while, you know I’m fascinated with... Continue Reading →
Hey, everyone. Time for another WIP Wednesday. Today, I’ll share an excerpt from Cold Dark Night. But first, let me introduce you to someone and explain how I got her name. I’ve used various methods for coming up with character names—random generators, popular name sites, keeping of a list of ones I encounter. However, this... Continue Reading →
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 →
Hey, everyone. Time for another WIP Wednesday. A couple of weeks ago, I posted about Macabre Sanctuary, an anthology published by AIW Press. 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 →
Hey, everyone. I don’t have a review or guest this week, but Unclear Purposes is getting some love over at Marcia’s blog today for Share a Review Tuesday. A bit of background. I never intended to write a series, but after a particular character demanded I tell his story in Unknown Reasons, I needed a... Continue Reading →
Hey y’all. It’s time for another WIP Wednesday and this time I’m sharing from a work in progress. I mentioned in the intro post for WIP Wednesday that I’m working on a book of short stories. 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 →
