While I appreciate everyone buying the books more than I can say, please write a review on Amazon. We are very close to hitting the number of reviews needed to get to the next level of distribution and promotion. If you happen to be in a Barnes and Noble or just want to boost my…
Read MoreThe Faire
Have you ever been to a Renaissance Faire or an OldWest Fair? Yesterday we stumbled upon one and plan on going back today. I love the feel of an old fashioned market, the open air, the hot sun, vendors selling, education and entertainment all inviting people in. Whether it is hand crafts, homegrown food, pottery,…

Now that the 4th book is out, I can tell you that it was heartbreaking to write. To answer a few questions I have already been asked, yes I knew someone with giantism. Did you know that now they can treat it once it is detected? No, Golly is not based on someone I know, but…
Read MoreRows and Stories
Planting a garden is a lot like building a plot for a story. You first smooth everything out, fertilize, work your soil, germinate ideas, plow things up, pullout rocks and sticks and set the rows.

Read MoreDishes and Food Prep
In many books that I have read, food, beautifully prepared mysteriously appears. Laundry is magically achieved or never even thought of and dishes, if not used as foreplay, are something a good fairy manages while the characters are sleeping. However, domestic heroes deserve credit. It takes real work and skill to plan and prepare three…
Read MoreWatching Cows
As I am sure I have mentioned before, we spend a lot of time watching cows. Did you know they set up nursery coverage within a herd? They set four to five mommas to watch the babies while everyone else goes off to graze. Those cows on nursery duty, and it changes every day, slowly…

Are you an ebook person or a paper book person? When I was a kid the real question was paperback or hardback, now almost nobody is looking for hardbacks of popular fiction, although you can find them for new releases in certain book stores. My dad has talked about a collectors volume of my stories…
Read MoreEarth Day
If you have read my books, you probably get the sense that while I am not what anyone would call a fanatic, I do believe in preserving the natural balance of the earth. Water on our planet is portable and connects continents, oceans, and lakes to our drinking water as well as the water we…
