Heartwarming Small-Town Romances and Thrilling Mysteries

It’s Fall 2023, Y’all!

Where has this year gone? Winter sped by. Spring was a flurry, and summer blew by like a whirlwind. Three quarters of 2023 over. The leaves are turning here, and football is on TV. That means it’s time for cooler temperatures and shorter days. I don’t like that last thing, but because it’s been happening […]

Oklahoma City and Romance Writers

One of the hardest things of being a writer has been the business side of it. I’m a small business owner which has brought a plethora of issues I’ve had to learn about and deal with, not least of which is paying sales taxes in different states. But to be successful, advisors say to seek […]

A memory popped up on my Facebook page that triggered this thought. It happened ten years ago, but […]

Forgetfulness

Hubby and I were discussing how forgetful we seem to be getting. Since we’ve been home, we’ve been hunting for things. Where did we store this or that before we left? Seems silly but it took us a while to get into a routine and remember where things were stored. Is that a result of […]
