Writers – Life in an Alternate Reality
Are you a writer? Is your daily reality a little... different? The other day my husband said to me that he noticed a home in our community looked abandoned.

Words to Live By
For any of you who have been keeping up with my blog - you know what I face during my day. I go into battle with roaches and spitefully filled commodes. And that's on the good days.

Novel Teaser – Fallen Angel
The following is a brief excerpt from one of my earlier novellas, Fallen Angel. The morning was unseasonably warm for early spring.

The pair had been silent since … Continue reading Novel Teaser – Fallen Angel

And now I'm 50. I got a birthday card in the mail from AARP... and I joined. I almost feel … Continue reading Fifty Shade of Gray… Hair…

Days of Gray
My husband used to leave me a lot of notes. Sometimes they were long notes, rambling thoughts covering both sides of a page. Sometimes they were just a few lines on a piece of scrap paper. Either way, I loved seeing them. Sometimes it was even poetry, and those were my favorite of all. Days … Continue reading Days of Gray
