“You can kid the world. But not your sister.” (Charlotte Gray) Did you ever read a quote that carried any more truth? Sisters know us and we know them in a way no one else can. Here I am with my mom and my sisters a year or so ago before Mom’s health went downhill last summer. My mother had …
Because my book, Angel Sister is fresh off the presses and onto bookstore shelves I’ve been doing some book launches, library speeches and internet interviews with bloggers. I’ve got one up right now with Favorite PASTimes, a blog that focuses on historical fiction and the writers behind the stories. They’ve got quite the line up of authors who make regular …
For a writer, when your book is finally out there for the public to read is a time to savor. The reward for all those days sitting in front of the computer trying to force words out of your brain and wondering if the story would ever get told. It’s the bonus for waiting through the year as your book …
“History is nothing but a series of stories, whether it be world history or family history.” (Bill Mooney & David Holt in The Storyteller’s Guide) ~~ My book, Angel Sister, is about a family with four sisters – sort of.

My grandkids love stories. They like to have them read to them. As soon as they start learning the words, they like to read stories. And they like to be told stories. It doesn’t matter how impromptu the story is or whether it has plot holes. They just love to hear somebody tell them a story. ~~ And everybody has …
No picture and I’m a day late. I’m doing my Wednesday blog on Thursday. Not only Thursday but Thursday in California and that means I’m even later. But it’s not every time you can sit on your veranda watching and listening to the ocean crash against the rocky beach in your fancy hotel supplied robe and write back home to …
We had a storm last night. The kind of lightning crashes that make a person cringe even when she’s safe inside. And that might make a smart person get up and unplug her computer. But the deadline for my edits on Angel Sister loom, so I kept on working through the lightning flashes. Until – and of course, you guessed …
Busy is as busy does. Yeah, I know. That’s not the real quote. That’s pretty is as pretty does. I’m sure every mother or grandmother in the world has said something similar at sometime or other. But I’m too busy right now to give the first thought to pretty. Well, maybe I’m still working on the pretty on the inside …
