Hello, readers. It's Friday, and that means it's time for the weekly wrap up. I promised myself that I would show a new photo this week. But as it is I've only taken pictures of my cats.

Confessions of a Cat Lover

It's also a time when tax accountants, such as my friend Dave, to take a much-needed break. Dave refers to himself as… Continue reading Confessions of a Cat Lover
The Loner
Allison's mouth fell open as she looked at the man who claimed to be Cooper’s owner. His intense stare made her skin tingle.

I thought anyone could write 500 unedited words in thirty minutes or less. Yesterday, I didn’t feel like writing. In fact, three of the last four days, I’ve struggled… Continue reading Can A Cat Teach Us Something About Writing?
