Holiday Foods
There are many foods that get associated with the holidays, at least in my mind. There is the turkey, goose, ham and roast of beast, depending on where you are, determines what beast you manage to roast. But the sides that go with all of that are also fascinating.

Read MoreWaiting and Cooking
While waiting for my editor, Jo, to finish with book 7, I have started some of the holiday cooking. Candied pecans, fudge, cookies and cake. I am hoping to make a few involved dishes and get the cooking bug under control. Fortunately we have enough people to eat the food I always yearn to make…

If I could write this next year into existence, I would eradicate certain diseases, I would change certain political practices, but most of all I would bring magic in the form of health and a wealth of love and acceptance to every heart.

Giving away Books is fun, but getting a review…

It was great and we had a wonderful time going over the stories about the different orniments while my mother played the keyboard, filling the house with music.
