Periodically, I offer some of my e-books on Amazon for free. The hope is that out of the book downloads I get, one will leave a review that hopefully will increase sales. Plus, I just want to up my readers, so why not offer something for free. This Memorial Day weekend, I have done just […]

Stuff I’ve written about writing and reading in particular.
Favorite Teachers: Professor Alley
It’s teacher appreciation week in most of the United States, and since I think a great deal about the teachers I have had over the years, I decided to try to write about some of them this week. By no means is this a comprehensive list. But I continue my posts with one of the […]
Favorite Teachers: Mrs. Pelayo
It’s teacher appreciation week in most of the United States, and since I think a great deal about the teachers I have had over the years, I decided to try to write about some of them this week. By no means is this a comprehensive list. But I continue my posts with one of the […]
Just a little Saturday ramble
It’s dogeared and worn, the pages a rainbow of highlights. There are margins full of quickly jotted annotations and it’s full of sticky notes and index cards with connections and random notes. The cover is almost more tape than cardstock. But this book has been a part of my life for the past twenty some-odd […]
Locked Doors and Closed Minds

Magic
“When did we all stop believing in magic? Why did we put all our hopes in a box in the attic?” ~ Katy Perry “Daisies” I was at work when I first heard the song that the above line came from. It harkened my mind back to one of my favorite quotes, a sentiment that […]
Recharge
Yesterday, I was so over being around people. I was exhausted beyond measure because I have been pushing myself to do more and more and haven’t had time to decompress. The introvert within me needed some moments without pressure. Despite my exhaustion, I knew I had to find solitude. I needed to recharge my soul. […]
Luna is now available
Those of you who have been paying attention to my other social media sites already know this, but for those who don’t follow me on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, I published the 16th novel this past week in my Portals Series: Luna is available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, an in paperback format. Click on the […]
Doldrums
The other day, my little swath of the Midwest had a winter storm that dumped several inches of snow on the ground. It made a mess of things, as storms often do, but the next day was beautiful. I ended up taking a short walk enjoying the snow for what it was worth. But I […]
