The IWG Writers Conference
Hubby and I just returned from Boise and the Idaho Writers Guild conference. He didn’t go to the conference but had a great time biking and seeing friends. The last day we were there, he helped with the Idaho Riders for the Blind fundraiser. The organization has tandem bikes that seeing people pedal from the […]
AI Writing
In the last few months, I’ve heard more and more about the new AI program, Chat GPT, that will write whatever you want it to and do it well. I admit my first reaction was annoyance that soon turned into anger. A computer could put me out of my job of writing my stories and […]
My Latest Book
This coming week, Hubby and I will make our way to Boise, Idaho for the Idaho Writers Guild conference. I’ve attended the past several years and have enjoyed and learned much from them all. We’ll go a few days early so we can visit our friends in the area. Even though we live far away, […]

Let’s Read!
Reading has always been part of my life. As a child, I got in trouble for reading all day long. My parents would tell me to “Go outside and get some sunshine! Run. Play!” I would begrudgingly put my book down and follow their instructions. While I don’t read as much as I did then, […]
