Liars – They’re All Liars

Ever heard the expression, “This won’t hurt at all?” Yeah, you usually hear that right before someone hurts you. Remember that Novocaine shot at the dentist? That flu shot? Your mom brushing your snarled up hair? Right? “This won’t hurt a bit.” Wrong. Liars. Every single one of them. Liar, liar pants on fire.

There’s A Little Cowboy In All Of Us

Last week I introduced you to Ketra Weston, today we meet Trevor Donaldson, the hero in my upcoming contemporary western romance novel On Common Ground. Trevor is in law enforcement but, he grew up on a ranch and owns his own ranch in Northern Arizona, where he goes when he’s not chasing down bad guys.

They’re More Than Just Characters

As writers we spend a lot of time with our fictional characters. They become our invisible friends. We talk to them and we talk about them.

If you go to a restaurant and you want shrimp or chicken on your salad you MUST specify that you want it grilled NOT fried, because otherwise, you’re getting the fried version. And every restaurant serves fried chicken and fried catfish. Every. Single. One. Fried chicken. Fried catfish.

The Mysterious Case of the Early Morning Creeper

Owning a bed and breakfast joint may seem glamorous to some, like a lot of work to others, and downright stupid to another group. Let me tell you, it’s all of those things.

Is it Karma Or Am I Just Losing It?

I know I’m getting older and my memory isn’t what it used to be. But, I try to be careful in my daily dealings. I’m not inclined to forget things if I write them down, but it still happens. I’m a list maker so I don’t forget to accomplish certain chores that must get done. And I’m not one to lose things.

Why Is That?

Have you ever seen, heard, contemplated something that made you scratch your head? Perhaps you looked, listened, contemplated again and still couldn’t figure it out? Something that made you question: Why is that? Well I don’t know about you, but I do this on a significantly frequent basis.
