I’m not sure I’ve ever been so relieved to finish a book in my life! I don’t mean “Gone in a Flash”, which I’m now unbearably relieved to get back to. What I’m referring to is “One-Hundred Feet of Snow”, my one and only children’s book. I expect it will remain so, as this genre […]

Fun with ads
The book is far from complete, but here’s the video advertisement for Jack and Charlotte’s new novel. Be sure and enable sound; it’s way better that way!
For those who prefer Nook over Kindle…
In addition to Kindle on Amazon, I’m currently in the process of adding my books to Barnes & Noble. It will take until the end of August to have all twenty available on Nook. The hardbacks will come sooner I hope, although I can’t be certain due to how many there are, and the necessity […]
will work for turkey bacon
Not me, of course, but the dog! I found this at Whole Foods, and after being lured in by the picture of Arctic on the front, I was sold by the ingredient list and that it’s made in America. He’s a fan of treats, some more than others, and this most of all. I’ll be […]
how to give a dog a pill
The method I’ve heard most touted, is to wrap the pill in cheese. For a dog who eagerly gobbles up whatever’s offered, this sometimes works. But, for the dog who takes the time to inspect first, the cheese is accepted. The pill however, is left behind. Hiding a pill inside a section of a mozzarella […]
Ready… set… start your engine!
That was the plan, but after sitting idle in the garage for five weeks, plus the six weeks before that, with a mere ten minutes of driving between… that is not what happened. Not only would my vehicle not start, it was entirely silent when I turned the key. The automatic locks failed to respond, […]

I’m fairly pleased to have “Gone in a Flash” this far along already. Since starting it, I’ve spent several hours each week in my office, which helps tremendously to minimize distractions and interruptions. It does indeed minimize, but I can’t honestly say it eliminates them! Star often comes tearing up the stairs and into the […]
Page 63!
Considering how many days it sometimes took to complete a single paragraph in “Ashes of Roses”, much less an entire page, it’s a very good feeling to have “Gone in a Flash” moving along so swiftly. Jack and Charlotte have their first assignment as investigators for the Foundation. As anyone who’s read “Uncertainly Yours” may […]
Poor Jack
So it happened. Jack and Charlotte showed up for his interview at the Bannerman Foundation, and Anika saved time by asking him a series of questions and then told him what the truth really is. Now his mind is completely blown. He’s currently speechless, believe it or not, as Miles and Anika escort him and […]
So much research!
Brad horrified me a couple of days ago, when I mentioned a pivotal point in the mystery Jack and Charlotte are about to be assigned. He had the nerve to reply that it wasn’t possible! The reason I swiftly became irate, is because over a year ago he told me it was! I strenuously suggested […]
