Happy New Year!
As we get ready to tackle the band new 2019 and pin it down, I recall last year at this time when I had only just released Gordon’s Pride and was getting ready to put out Heron’s Bonds. I have learned a lot since then. About selling books, marketing, formatting, publishing, giving away books and…

I was sitting at the table this morning, drinking coffee, after doing a few chores, when Shawn looked at me sharply. He told me not to move before he stood to hunt up a weapon. Naturally I looked around and less than a foot away, a spider dangled, spinning gently on the air currents from…

Dragon Day!
This morning, in the rain, I deflated our sopping wet 🎅, the blow-up kind, and put out my dragon to herald in the New Year! It was an adventure since he is not as simple as the blow up figures we have dealt with before. This guy comes with directions, a built in stand and…

It rarely includes sports, often has interesting food, and the activities range from games to conversation.
