Corn Dogs
We went to the county fair yesterday. It had more rides than we expected and less booths. Not that this areas is lacking in vendors, or talented artisans, or innovative people looking to gain attention, but either they weren’t invited to participate or a booth was overpriced. I sensed a story, but have yet to…
Read MoreEpic Fantasy
When I first came up with the story of NewEarth it was one small piece at a time. However, the bigger pieces were already there. The whole idea of surviving and overcoming abuse and neglect. The coping with differences, being mistrusted over strength and being cast out or aside in favor of mediocrity, those roots…
Read MoreCoffee
As a baby I would beg for sips, as a toddler I had coffee in my milk, as I grew older, less milk and more coffee and as an adult coffee was my drink. I drank it cold, hot black, light with sugar and without. As time went on, I drank much less of it,…
Read MoreFlint of Dreams
As a writer, I read a lot and quickly. Last night I spent a couple of hours reading Flint of Dreams, available on Amazon, by Charles Peterson Sheppard. It is a lengthy book so I am not done, but so far it is a gritty, psychic story set in our own flawed world with lots…

From our house to yours, may you have a fun filled summer, with flowers, fruits and bounty filling up your door. Happy Solstice! Happy Summer! Happy Long Days!

Read MoreFruity Teas
One of the best things about summer is the fruity drinks. I cut up a fresh pineapple and saved a few odd shaped chunks, added some frozen blackberries and raspberries to a pitcher of tea with a little sugar and presto, summer fruit tea. In the evening when the writing and editing is done, a…
Read MoreCarnival
When I was a kid growing up in Rogers Park in Chicago there was a yearly fundraiser and activity that my entire family participated in. It was the carnival. My mother sold ride tickets, my father ran a game and as we grew up we went from assisting my dad to running our own gaming…
Read MoreThe Sisters
Has anyone wondered exactly what Jamie and Janie can do? Not exactly their skill set since we know they traded sex for coins, make and design clothing as well as candies, no I mean do you wonder about their psychic abilities? There are all kinds of clues, and obviously Grabon and Heron know and are…
Read MoreHealing
Now that people have read the story and gotten to know LeeAnn, isn’t that an amazing talent and skill, the type of healing she does? I wish I could do that for myself and family members. That first dragon dropped her into the nest, so her body was broken, and she managed to heal the…
