Update on The Prairie Grass MurdersThe Harlequin Worldwide Mystery mass market paperback edition of The Prairie Grass Murders is no longer available at the eHarlequin online store. The book was sold out. Wow! I’ve been remaindered, but never sold out. It’s like…like…a super bonus. Maybe I’ll get a royalty check. Oh, my goodness, we’re talking …Read More
Getting Down to the Writing Business
Saturday morning I did something I haven’t done in a long time. I poured a cup of coffee and went into the living room for a thinking session. There’s a special chair in there for meditating or puzzling through a problem. It’s a little glider with a green early-American style cushion on seat and back. …Read More

My Writing Life by Guest Blogger Barbara Graham
Barbara Graham lives somewhere in that northwestern quarter of Wyoming so I don’t get to see her too often. That’s why I’m jumping at the chance to have dinner with her on Sunday after attending her book signing at Barnes & Noble Centerra, Loveland, Colorado. The event is scheduled for 2 to 4 PM. The …Read More
The Photos That Tell the Rest of the Story
This little photo essay is an experiment. My record with photo placement on Blogger is spotty at best. Sometimes the layout is exactly as I planned. Other times my first attempt looks like I stirred the content with an old-fashioned egg beater. I’ve put together this post to pre-schedule for early Wednesday morning, so if …Read More

Surfing the Web Again, and Here’s What I Found
I like to go exploring once in a while. Internet exploring, that is. I plug a word or phrase into the search box and wander through the list until I find something of interest. I looked for “blogs writers blog” which was actually a typo since I meant to search on “blogs writers block.” Even …Read More
The Birdie in the Cupboard
This is a travel day for me, so I’ve posted these photos to give you a Monday morning chuckle. My mom’s parakeet developed a funny habit in her declining years. She overcame her fear of flying into the kitchen of my mom’s apartment, and she figured out how to pry the door of the cupboard …Read More
