July 1, 2015 By: Patricia

Recording for Radio Yesterday I joined J. P. McKinney, Nancy L. Reed, and E.A. Cook to record an interview with our esteemed host of Between the Pages (and frequent blogger here because he keeps twisting my arm until I holler Uncle) for our local community KRFC radio….a station primarily staffed by volunteers who benefit by …Read More

It’s the Weekend Again Already

June 20, 2015 By: Patricia

This week was slightly more eventful than last, which is both good and bad. The Good My physical therapy is going well — aches and pains are diminishing (especially now that I’m rid of the dreaded walking boot) and I’m walking much better. The sun has come out and seems to want to stay for …Read More

Snowed (Figuratively Speaking)

June 15, 2015 By: Patricia

There was no Saturday Report this week because I had nothing new to talk about. It’s just the same-old walking/standing practice with some physical therapy thrown in to speed things along. Working on the same old novel in progress. Yada yada… There is no book review today because I’m still reading Make It Stick: The …Read More

Sometimes Even the Vampires Get it Right: a quote to make you smile

The Saturday Report: When Things Change a Wee Bit Too Much

June 6, 2015 By: Patricia

I’ve never minded change. Change brings new experiences, new challenges. Change is good. Until it’s not. I grew up on a farm in east central Illinois where my father tenant-farmed for a large landowner. My mother was a registered nurse and worked part of the year in a hospital in town. The farmhouse was a …Read More

Katie Cat in a Box

June 3, 2015 By: Patricia

Like all cats, Katie cannot let an open box just sit there unexplored. Be sure and stop by tomorrow because I have the famous and wildly popular sci fi author and ninja blogger Alex J. Cavanaugh as my guest. His post is about marketing and his advice is the best ever! Don’t miss it.

Must a Writer Suffer?

June 2, 2015 By: Patricia

Most definitely! If you want to count the ways, boogie on over to Anne R. Allen’s Blog and read “REALITY CHECK: Mixed Martial Arts for Writers” by Ruth Harris.
