I’ve long deleted the message, but a few years ago I was told via a text from someone I thought I was close to that I had no accomplishments of my own, so I was hanging on to those made by others as if they were mine. In reality, I was extremely happy for this […]

Cold and Thaw
It’s winter in Iowa, as I have already blogged in posts. We had a mild December. It was 70 degrees one day and Christmas Day was a beautiful upper-30s (F) kind of day. We got used to the weather, which spoiled us. But 2022 has come in like a lion. Last week it REALLY came […]
The end of a season
Earlier today, I finally took down my Christmas decorations. I have friends who take them down on the 26th of December. They are quite religious with it too. The holiday is over and they are done with Christmas. I have friends that leave them up as long as they can bear. One year, I was […]
Cats
I have a love for cats. I always have. When I was growing up, my family only had two cats as household pets. We had a cat named Tigger when I was a baby, so I don’t remember him much. The other cat we had was a rough and tumble gray burly thing my mother […]

Write Your Own Story
I recently was asked by a good friend why I often use the hash tag #writeyourownstory on my various social media posts. It started out as just a simple phrase that I typed into one of my novels in a moment of inspiration. I didn’t plan it out, I just wrote the words and they […]
Rest
It’s been almost a full week since I have written anything. A full week….. My brain needed rest. My body needed the rest. Last Friday, 17 December, I started to feel like I was coming down with some sort of cold or flu bug. I had the scratchy throat, aches and pains (which always hit […]
Sunrise
In the summer, it is not often that I see the sunrise. When I have to work the full time job, I am usually up around 0530 or 0600. In the summer, the sun has already begun its ascent across the sky by then, so I miss greeting the dawn. But late fall and early […]
Newest novella in the Portals Series published!
I am happy to announce that Xavier’s story has been released in my Portals Series. Xavier was one of the main characters in Portal Seeker, but had never told his story until now. I will warn you that if you chose to read this as a stand alone, there are a few spoilers in it […]
