Heartwarming Small-Town Romances and Thrilling Mysteries

It’s 2025!

I admit it. I’m old. I remember the old cartoons, comic books, and TV shows talking about futuristic stuff in the 21st century. It seemed impossibly far away. But here it is, 2025. It sounds like something from a book rather than being on the calendar. We enjoyed a quiet Christmas with Daughter and Son-in-law […]

The End of the Year

Can you believe it? How fast did 2024 go for you? The only things that seemed to drag on and on were the constant political ads and pundits arguing about who would win. I’m glad that’s over. This year flew by for me. I was so busy traveling between April and October that it felt […]

A Week of Frustration

A long time ago, I learned computer stuff at work on a PC. It took me a couple of years to totally understand some of it (hard drives, servers, internet, file organizations, etc.), but once I did, I was hooked. The rest of my jobs included working on PCs and even at home, our computer […]

One of Those Weeks

Ever have one of those weeks or days where not much seems to go right? That’s what last week was for me. It started off with news that wasn’t bad, but it set in motion a ton of work for me, mainly redoing a lot of stuff that I thought was done. Once I got […]

Now football season is beginning and I’m a big football fan. That takes up my weekends for a while. At several writing […]

Old Dogs Still Learning

That old adage about how you can’t teach an old dog new tricks has no place in today’s world. This old dog has spent two weeks trying to learn how to navigate through a new platform for releasing books. It’s different than Amazon’s book site, and it took me a while to get all the […]

Another Day, Another Book Signing Event

I spent all day yesterday at the Community Center in Hermosa, South Dakota. It’s a very small, but nice town south of Rapid City. I’ve been there a few times for different events but haven’t spent much time. A lot of very nice people live there. The event was a vendor fair, not a specific […]

My Second Wild Deadwood Reads

This past weekend was a busy time. I attended two days of writer training and one day-long book signing event. I met so many nice authors and made new writer friends who are amazing. I also met a local new writer who desperately wanted to find a someone to talk about writing. I am more […]
