What I’m Reading

The Dance of the Electric Hummingbird, a memoir by Patricia Walker. And I’m enjoying every minute of it.

Blogging from A to Z Challenge April 2012

Arlee Bird has a new badge on display for the 2012 challenge at the dedicated blog: Blogging from A to Z April Challenge Blog. It’s time to start thinking about whether you’ll participate or not this year.

My Blog Vacation

I’m starting my vacation tomorrow and won’t be back on a regular schedule until Wednesday, January 4th. I may post a photo or a short post here and there, and I’ll work on getting my 2012 guest list in my sidebar.

Mostly, however, I’m going to entertain company for five days, read a lot for fun, and maybe even go to the movies. If I get bored, I can get my calendar organized for a new year of blogging and writing and submitting.

And this afternoon, I’m spending 90 relaxing minutes on my massage therapist’s table, getting rid of all the kinks in my muscles I accumulated while moving furniture and books and cleaning house. Life is good.

My Wishes for You

I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and that your 2012 is the best year ever. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and a very Happy New Year.

    Thanks bunches for kind wishes, and special kudos to Dean for commenting in rhyme. Now I’m off to bake a pan of brownies and search for my lasagna recipe. 🙂

    ‘Tis the season to choose your reason to take a break with family for good times you’ll surely make.

    Blog Posting or not, be thankful for what you’ve got. Whether it’s a Latte or a little, or somethin’ in the middle.

    The Dance of the Electric Hummingbird is quite the read, I say indeed.

    Here’s to you, and all that your heart’s wishing, I’m off with a smile, ‘cuz I’m goin’ fishing.

    Pat – Have a wonderful and well-deserved blog-cation :-). I hope you thoroughly enjoy it. All the very best to you and your family, too!

Meet Patricia

I read, I write, I blog, and sometimes I do the laundry and cook. My 2014 novel, Dead Wrong, was a finalist in the thriller category of the 2015 Colorado Book Awards. Wishing Caswell Dead (Five Star/Cengage, December 20, 2017) is a historical mystery set in 1830s Illinois in the fictitious Village of Sangamon. The novel was a finalist for the 2018 Colorado Book Awards for General Fiction. My most recent release, In Defense of Delia (Five Star/Cengage, November 2022), is available in hardcover and will soon be available in ebook and trade paperback. Read More…
