2017 was a year of big changes, from moving, divorce, settling in a new apartment and new town, plus writing and publishing two new books. The year started out stressful and heart-wrenching–a move across multiple counties 130 miles away, single-handedly unpacking a moving van (that took me two weeks to recover), not getting out of…… Continue reading Goodbye 2017, Hello 2018!

My Rules for Writing
My 3 #rulesforwriting: 1-write what you know 2-read so you know 3-make up what you know I’ve written 14 books and on number 15. I’ve written in many different genres-I don’t stick to one all the time. Why? Because I can. How do I write in different genres? I just do. Yes, I’m sure that…… Continue reading My Rules for Writing
Big News Coming
Update from my phone, as you know, I’ve been having trouble with computers lately. Either they are too old or are eating my work, so I had given up on writing anymore. Nothing I tried worked to raise money to buy a new computer. I begged people to buy my books so I could buy…… Continue reading Big News Coming

Cozy Is As Cozy Does
The past four to six months I’ve read quite a few Cozy Mysteries, around several hundred so far. I haven’t reviewed them all because after a time they all read exactly the same, without much forethought. There is typically some protagonist-quirky grandmother, sexpot store owner, irascible grandfather, bookworm/nerdlette young woman and so forth. There’s either…… Continue reading Cozy Is As Cozy Does
Staying On Track When Writing
Currently I’m working on my third novel in my Rose Petal Wine Murder Mysteries but get stuck on plot points or a character’s actions, whether to place a meeting in China or St. Louis. During those times, I step away from that book and work on something else for a while, which is why I…… Continue reading Staying On Track When Writing

Wertfrei Wednesday: A Definition
wertfrei: without value judgement; neutral (http://phrontistery.info/w.html) Trying to come up with a unique format for Wednesday, I’ve tried ‘happy humpday’ posts in the past. Although they were ok, I felt they had no unifying theme and maybe a bit too mainstream. Happy Humpdays were dropped after less than a year of poor stats. I dropped…… Continue reading Wertfrei Wednesday: A Definition
