Primitive Living
I have been lucky enough in my life to live with indoor running water, both hot and cold; but I have known other people who could not afford such luxuries. None of them were environmentalists, by the way, they were all poor. The same is true of those who had no electric service. It was…
Read MoreFood 🌶
I was busy formatting book5, so it would be ready for release, and I heard from the corner of my ear, so to speak-someone say they like food with a bit of a bite. Forget the alliteration which I heartily approve as I happen to be a fan, but when did humans decide we like…
Read More💥 Fireworks 💥
We had a great time with our own display as well as watching others. The colors were brilliant, the booms loud and the smell of spent gunpowder are somehow all tangled up in the idea of freedom in America. Like many of our neighbors we took some care not to start a fire. We also…
Read MoreIndependence Day Celebrations
Be safe, sane and in control, drive with caution and extra awareness and be kind to kids and pets as they can be sidelined while the adults are in celebration mode for themselves. Otherwise, have a wonderful celebration day in recognition of the best parts of our country. And if the celebration all gets to…
Read MoreBusy Busy
With Independence Day tomorrow, book 5 almost ready and leaving to go to RWA right around the corner, I am busy. I am not sure when blowing things up became an American symbol of patriotism, maybe from the beginning, but we do enjoy the show. Or goal is to make some noise, light up the…

I am connected to thousands of authors and half the discussions is about reviews and stars. Writing is a solitary occupation…
Read MoreSudden Storm
We had a series of small storms yesterday. Our house weathered it well, but between the third and fourth wave, Shawn and I brought in from the shed Jethro’s crate to make him a cozy cave, since he hates storms with rolling thunder and crazy flashes of lightning. So it was already blowing again, leaves…
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 MoreTrissy And Heron
As the market develops it creates opportunities for her to sell her carvings, for Heron to sell his wagons, for them to really flourish as far as that goes. However, that is incidental because it also gives them both a chance to see human wares, to purchase and trade for them and to set down…
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…
