Where Does the Time Go?

July 17, 2021 By: Patricia

I do social media tasks for the Rocky Mountain Chapter of Mystery Writers of America (RMMWA). I’ve been reading a lot (also known as …Read More

Two Very Different Ways to Experience the Call of the Wild

February 25, 2021 By: Patricia

I have a couple of friends who experience nature in very different ways. One takes her camera and her excellent eye for color and detail into her backyard. The other looks to the mountains for his nature fix by hiking or climbing. I’d like to tell you more about these two people and their new …Read More

Progress on So Many Fronts

January 30, 2021 By: Patricia

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

January 24, 2021 By: Patricia

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

January 1, 2021 By: Patricia

Someone asked me back in March if I was going to write about the pandemic. I said, “No.” And then I realized I couldn’t write about anything without it being tied to the pandemic. So I just skipped out on the blog for a few months and focused on other things. Not the puzzle, though. …Read More

I’m Back!

January 20, 2020 By: Patricia

I had knee replacement surgery on November 11th, 2019, and knew there were plenty of tasks I’d have to give up for two or three months. 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

The novel was a finalist for the 2018 Colorado Book Awards for General Fiction. Read More…
