My first Surprise Lilly of the year.

Thanks. I may give it a try.

Care to share your recipe?

As long as I’m not driving, I love them. And I’m loving it right now. I’m 2 hours from Chicago, and from what it looks like, they are getting the wild weather as well.

Afraid of losing power I cut my writing short today due to the thunder storms and strong winds. It’s oddly soothing.

Thank you. I appreciate the support. I hope you enjoyed it.

Before he turned the mic on I was showing him all my indie books and he was most intrigued by “Cur Dogs.” The next day he told me he ordered the kindle version.

Thanks. It’s kind of hit and miss. Whenever I do these things I always kick myself for the things I didn’t say. But it’s a decent entry level look at my life in the various arts.

Well if you have 44 minutes and want to listen to me talk about my latest novel, among other things, feel free to have a listen.

This happens to me all the time. And it’s their loss because I READ INDIE BOOKS!

Well, today I did. Hopefully tomorrow she’ll remember she liked me for about 10 hours. She tends to forget these things.

This sweet little girl has been following me around from room to room all day. Big steps for this rescue cat that has been afraid of men ever since we found her barely alive in a ditch three years ago.

Looks like the bees live in a good neighborhood.

Four male ducks just outside my yard. Must be poker night.

Flawed heroes.
Multiple villains.
The infancy of science.
History you never learned in school.
And all true. Sort of.
Attention Readers - the funeral train awaits.

One good thing every day

Same. She’s such a good writer. Have only read 3 of her novels, but have loved them all.

Ann Patchett delivers once again.

For those who would rather avoid Amazon, my latest novel is also available through Barnes and Noble. I hope you’ll give it a chance. I believe it contains some of my best writing.

This is Major Henry Rathbone. He is one of the supporting characters in my latest novel, “Abraham Lincoln’s Traveling Medicine Show.” Did you know he’s considered one of the most forgotten men in history?

I, too, have the blahs. BUT, I will be fine. And so will you. Peace.

And I’m so enjoying my break. Catching up on my reading.

I’m currently in the regrouping, marketing phase after finishing my third novel. So not quite back to the “writing regularly” mode. But best of luck to those that are. Your voice, and the stories you tell are important and needed.

Just reading this brought back a scent of nostalgia.

The loser will buy the winners latest novel. 😂😂

Them’s fighting words. 😂😂

I love bees. Always have.

A couple of minor characters in my novel are prostitutes. But the real whores in the story are the politicians. Kind of like real life.
