I seem to have worked through my month of inertia and am now charging full speed ahead on book projects. This includes getting the out-of-print thriller, Dead Wrong, back into circulation as an ebook. I made a few edits to this manuscript, mostly to clean up the language. I allowed my inner bad guy …Read More
What I’ve Been Reading
I have to report on what I’ve been reading because I have nothing to report on the writing front. I think I went into a state of suspended animation while we went through the election squabbles and then that frightening business at the Capitol. I did watch some news, but mostly I read books in …Read More

Here I Am, Eleven Months Later

Blogging turned out to be the first activity to happily sit on the sidelines. The blog waited patiently for my return. As did the gym at the Senior Center. …Read More
Featured Book: Not Guilty by C. Lee McKenzie

Summer in All Its Glory
I’ve been more focused on my flowers and my tomato plants this summer than my writing. It’s not lollygagging, though. I do a lot of writing in my head and planning while I’m watering and pulling weeds. Yesterday, I was standing idly by my garden boxes, watering the tomatoes, when a new visitor showed up …Read More
