I like people who do what they say they will, when they say they’re going to do it. I like them a lot, especially since they seem to be an endangered species. I must have missed the email that said it’s okay now to lie about what you can and can’t do. I know I […]
I’ll be heading off to Las Vegas (actually Henderson) for the EpiCon tomorrow. Epic is the organization for electronically published writers. http://www.epicauthors.com Our first stop though, will be to see my sister who lives in Las Vegas. I love going to Vegas for conferences as I can visit my sis and write the trip off. […]
I’m as eager as the next guy to suspend disbelief. In fact, I do so on a daily basis. My daughter is in college and I prefer to believe that she is in her room at 7:30 pm, diligently working on her term papers, then accept the alternative that she is blithely walking the streets […]

First published in 1998, working on my 6th novel… (yawn) I’ve been blogging for a couple of years now. I vacillate between personal, newsy, gossipy stuff and eloquent, […]

With a tip of the hat to the brilliant, much-missed comedian, George Carlin, lately I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about “stuff.” We’re planning to down-size and move to a smaller house, and my biggest fear is what to do with all this stuff. Fans well remember Carlin’s famous riff:That’s all your house is: […]

Just when it seems all is going well, the bottom falls out! Our gas heater wouldn’t run–of course we’ve had the coldest weather this year. Gas man was called, he got it going but he and hubby thought it needed new pilot igniter. Couldn’t get one until the next day–but hubby did get it fixed. […]
