Howdy, writers!
Been yearning for a lil NaNo-type camaraderie? Welp. I returned from Santa Fe inspired!
I'll be holding limited-invite Zoom "Writing Campfire Seshs" throughout November. The first will be Tuesday, Nov 4th from 7-10p central US.
If you're interested, please reach out for details ☺️

Oh my! Over on Fazebük, I just posted my latest concoction—an Earl Grey martini with rose-flavored vodka that I call a Smooth Operatorrrrrr. I'm working on a coffee table book of signature cocktails!

Made enormous headway on my new novel-in-stories while in Santa Fe. I’m talking “IT ALL FELL IN PLACE”-level ridonculousness…

Joe Walsh - Life's Been Good (Live)
I have a mansion
forget the price
Ain't never been there
they tell me it's nice
I live in hotels
tear out the walls
I have accountants
pay for it all
They say I'm crazy
but I have a good time
I'm just looking for clues
at the scene of the crime
Life's been good to me so far

So, one great thing is how you can catch a snippet of conversation between passersby and have a whole story spring to life.
Example: “So, if you’re gonna hop a boxcar…”
Aaaaaand, go!
