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

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

Everyone Needs a Little Time Away from Writing

February 3, 2020 By: Patricia

My husband and I take a little time each day to work on this 4,000 piece jigsaw puzzle. It covers the whole dining room table. We should have put in the center leaf before starting, but I was confident we could manage without expanding the table and taking up even more room in the dining …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

Summer in All Its Glory

July 14, 2019 By: Patricia

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

A Bomb Cyclone This Week, Spring Flowers Next Week

March 14, 2019 By: Patricia

To tell the truth, I already had spring flowers before the bomb cyclone winds and snow arrived in Colorado this week. And in spite of the blizzard conditions yesterday, my purple crocuses popped right back up through the snow today. I do love Colorado weather (especially when I can stay inside with a cup of …Read More

Where There’s A Will, There’s Bound To Be A Way

February 19, 2019 By: Patricia

My WordPress Confusion And sure enough, after I did a little more homework, I found I could recall, install, and activate the classic editor screen for creating new blog posts…and use it until at least 2021. What a relief! I’m super busy right now and just don’t have the time to learn another blog writing …Read More

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. Read More…
