First, let me answer the question I’m asked most often: how do you say your last name? It’s pronounced CARE. I love that name. It’s what we all should do. Care. I’m a self-published author from the Pacific Northwest part of the U.S. where I live with my Hubby of over 40 years. I’ve loved to write my whole life, but it wasn’t until I retired that I could focus that energy into writing fiction and non-fiction books. It’s become one of the joys of my life. Each week, I post a new blog about the things I see, I do, and I remember. Please join me in my adventures. Read my books. Leave reviews. Tell your friends. Let’s have a blessed day.

Read The Secrets of the Clock on the way home from the camp meeting…loved it! Couldn’t put it down, but that was good since it was an 8 hour trip home. Good to see you again! Just borrowed the other books (Blessings…,Treasure…) and from the girls room…somehow I don’t think I ever got to read them when they got them for their birthday!
I’m so happy you enjoyed the book, Charlotte! My folks always told us kids to read while on long trips because it made the miles go by faster. Not everyone can read while driving, but I’ve read a LOT of books in the car.
Please leave a review somewhere online for the book so others will know too.
I’m still learning from you, as I’m improving myself.
I certainly love reading everything that is written on your website.Keep the stories coming.
I loved it! https://supersketo.com/
