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 […]
