There is a giant mess in my front room currently. Several boxes are on the floor, their contents in disarray. My writing desk sits askew on one of the boxes, waiting for me to pull it once more onto my lap. Discarded papers from stamps and sticker sheets probably line the floor in between the […]

Christmas time is here again
It’s the 4th of December. My little swath of the Midwest is dealing with some wintry wonderland weather. We had a snowstorm that dumped more than a half foot of snow on us this past weekend and today the wind chill is below zero degrees Fahrenheit. It looks like Christmas outside. Inside, the tree is […]
Apologies
Dear magical readers, If you logged in yesterday to read the next chapter of The Year of the Winding Road and discovered it wasn’t there, I do apologize. Because I am being pulled in several different directions with work, finding time to pursuit my other hobby of hiking and geocaching, and even other stories in […]
Creativity
I have always been creative, especially with my words. I paint pictures using simple letters strung together. I have generated full worlds but just writing descriptions. I have evoked emotions just by typing silly little characters. But there are days that I just don’t feel very creative. There have been events within this past year […]
Change is inevitable
I often tell people I’m not a fan of changes. Routines work best for me, even as I do plan a bit of flexibility into them as needed. Plans are made in advance and sometimes even have built-in excuses if I have to bail on them. And when changes occur, I’m often left feeling like […]

Two steps forward and one step back
Yesterday the other half and I got news that kind of stunned us and changes the course of some of our major plans. Without going into much detail, changes to our lives have been made yet again. But that’s just part of life. Like John Lennon penned, “Life is what happens while you are busy […]

If you didn’t know yet… you can now preorder Scion on Amazon Kindle! The next novella in my fantasy adventure Portals Series will be available on Saturday, 20 September 2025. It tells the story of Ariadne, who is a secondary character in several of the other books, most notably Heirs to the Realm, where she […]
I’m still here
It’s been a crazy couple of weeks in my life, so I haven’t been doing much writing on my socials. But I am still here. I am still writing. In fact, I almost have a short story done and am about to release another novella in my Portals Series. I still hike and geocache as […]
How’s it going?
I haven’t been posting much, either on my social medias or on this blog. And there’s really not a good reason for that except to say that other things have been pulling my attention. There’s been many geocaching adventures that are taking place in the heat of this crazy Midwest summer so far (because of […]
