  • Is it still Thursday?

    This. In a Bah! Humbug! kinda way. I’m not talking about Christmas. I’m lamenting the frustrations of working with technology. Can that be my excuse for not posting my usual “Thursday Walks” yesterday? If the truth be told, my tardiness is due to two adventures that side-tracked me this week: 1) formatting my manuscript for…

  • Random sightings

    Why hello! You’re reading my blog. 🙂 Happy New Year. (Are you still writing 2012?) Do you enjoy people watching? I’m guilty. Look at all the beautiful people. Short, tall, curly hair, long hair, blue eyes, brown & more, fat and thin, old and young. Every one of them has a story. The guy across…

  • Thursday Walks on the blog side…

    Hello world! We woke up to a couple of inches of snow this morning in Kansas and frigid – actually, winter – temperatures. What a concept!  I love the winter. Love snow. But when temperatures remain in the 60s-70s consistently from October through December, it’s hard to take that day they suddenly plummet to 5°F.…

  • Walks on the Blog Side…

    Oh look! It’s me over at Black Lilac Kitty! Thanks, Cindy, for inviting me over to meet your readers. We’re taking a very short walk through the blogosphere this week. Does my photo from Conisbrough Castle make it look like I’m locked away? Well, close. *wipes brow* I’m slaving over the final edits to my…

  • Thursday Walk on the Blog Side…

    What a week! I’m trying to put this into perspective. Coming down off the high of my book cover reveal on Monday. Now I’m just plain nervous as hell. 🙂 It’s hard to concentrate. I’m working my way through revisions on the last 40-50 pages of Keeping the Family Peace. Getting ready to birth this…

  • Thursday Walks & Family Peace teaser

    Happy Thanksgiving! The leftovers have been put away and the house is quiet. Chatted with S#1 and texted with DD; talked about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness with S#2 – well, not really. He slept late, grabbed a bite to eat, jumped in his ’93 Dodge, and hit the road to visit his…

  • Just another day at the coffee shop…

    Looks around. This place is comfortable. I was attempting to explain why I like it over other places in town to a friend last week. It’s dark & soothing despite the huge picture windows, despite the conversations buzzing around me. About school, a test. About politics. God. K-State football. And let’s not forget the goodies!…

  • Thursday’s Walk on the Blog Side…

    In recognition of the big news about Disney buying Lucasfilm: And episode 7 coming in 2015?!?!??! Whoa. This is every kid’s, er middle-aged Star Wars fan’s dream come true. (Well, most of my friends anyway… )  I’ll admit my mouth dropped open when I saw the first link from one of my SW friends. This…

  • Thursday’s Walk on the blog side…

    Where shall we wander this week? With last weekend’s wedding and craziness at work, I could use an ale. Join me in Nottingham!  I spent 3 weeks in Nottingham a couple of years ago. Had a few ales and a couple of meals at the Trip. (I highly recommend their sausage & mash.) Robin Hood…
