Romance is in the air with free book.....





In honor of Valentine's Day my short story, Dear Anne: Love Letters from Nam is free on Amazon from February 13- 17th. Hope you'll get your free copy. I'd appreciate hearing from you after you read it. Or leave a review on Amazon, which is even better. It actually helps sales. And sales for my books this winter have been almost non existent.  The review can be as little as a sentence or two to let me and other readers know how you liked the story.


Writing is a lonely profession and any feedback is always appreciated. I've been hard at work on finishing the current novel and editing is taking WAY longer than I'd ever planned. That's what happens when one is a perfectionist. Any job takes twice as long because we do a lot of second guessing and downright worrying over every phrase. With this novel, since it's told from several points of view, I've had issues with the time line. At last, I believe I have all those issues ironed out. 

While the weather in Ohio has been fairly mild this winter, I've still had a bit of depression and have to make myself go out on days when the temps are in the teens. However, the weather that's kept me inside has given me the time to work. 

Today it was 60 and a shock to the system. I walked around our neighborhood with a neighbor and enjoyed seeing birds at feeders and bits of green grass. There was even a hint of spring in the air. I know. It's too early. But still I'm thankful for any small indication that warmer weather is just ahead. I love all the colors and smells that come with spring. Grape hyacinths, lilies of the valley, red and yellow tulips. Easter lilies. I'm so ready. How about you. Are you tired of dreary days or are you finding lots of things to keep you busy? Would love to hear from you. Here's to an early spring filled with delightful scents and lots of bright colors.

  1. I will try and get the book. I have a kindle fire. If I do I shall read and write about it.
    I hope that the New Year brings to you best of things that life has to offer.
    Sales of books are generally on the low side anyway. With the advent of Social Media people are not reading as much specially younger generation. A good book is good no matter what the times are like.

Ah, Spring and all her glory.

I'm enjoying the spring weather that has finally arrived in Ohio bringing blooming pear trees, red buds and tulip trees. How about you? Do you love spring as much as I do? I spent a day on the patio, putting out the table, chairs, umbrella. I painted a white wicker plant table and have decided it's too good for the patio. I plan to use it in the bathroom instead. Just when I thought winter would last forever, spring arrived with temperatures in the 70's. I noted buds covering my rose bush and a robin building a nest in the crevice of my chimney. I wanted to let them stay but they managed to leave so much debris at my front door that I had no choice but to shoo them away. Hopefully they've moved on to one of the many trees and bushes in my community, a more cozy place for raising babies. When I was a kid growing up in Putnam County, WV, I was outside at the first glimpse of the sun coming through my bedroom window. I ran through our yard, down through the orcha

The Dreaded School Pictures

This year when my children brought home their school pictures, I cringed.  These kids can leave home looking cherubic, but the minute they pose for that school photographer they are transposed into unrecognizable beings.  My middle daughter brought home pictures bearing her name and room number that couldn't have been my offspring. Nor a distant relative. I had worked for hours on this child. Her hair was parted in the middle and drawn into a cute little ponytail over each ear. Even though she is at an awkward age, she looked adorable when she went out that door. Her missing front teeth only added to her charm.  The kid in the picture has her mouth open wide displaying ugly dark gaps. Her one visible ponytail is lopsided, her part is uneven, and her bangs look like they were cut with pinking shears. I know this isn't my child because I always give my children a good haircut before they have their pictures taken. The only thing vaguely familiar is the sweater t
