Sometimes you just need a laugh. I’m a huge Kentucky basketball fan. I have been since I was a young teen and started listening to the games on my little transister radio.

No object is mysterious. The mystery is your eye. ~Elizabeth Bowen My new book, In the Shadow of the River, came out on May 9th. Some of you even got the book before that date as a few flew out to readers early. Always fun to have a new story out on the shelves to sell and in the hands of people …
Thanks to all of you who are reading my new book, In the Shadow of the River, or have already read it. Some reviews are showing up here and there and everywhere. And even more fun, well, at least different run, is that Jacci Reed went over to Novel Pastimes and did an interview. While she’s back in 1897, through the magic …
