Tomorrow is the day. My first novel Death In Sparkling Cove releases. I'm so excited. I'll tell you a little history behind the idea for this book. The thought came to me one day, I would like to write a beach mystery. I began researching fictional towns and came across Sparkling Cove. That very moment I could see the sparkling ocean water as I sat there on the sand and gazed out into the deep sea. 
    Every November it is National Novel Writing Month. I hadn't ever participated in it because of the self-doubt I can't write that many words. (They recommend you write 50,000 words in a month) Yea, I know what you're thinking too. There is no way in 30 days. 
    On Nov. 1st I took the bull by the horns and went to my office and began writing. I reached 10,000 words then I hit 25,000, and soon looked up and I had met and achieved the 50,000-word recommendation. The whole month of Nov. I was on vacation to Sparkling Cove in my mind. I could imagine sitting on the sand and looking for sea shells. 
    If you are not yet on my list to receive my newsletter, you can subscribe by clicking the link at the right of the page. It is packed with info about new releases and more. 
    Before I go, I'll let you in on something. I'm working on a new project that will be out either July or early Aug. It's going to be good. I know you will really enjoy it. 

Until next time.....

Remembering Barbara Bush

Some of you may have already heard but Barbara Bush passed away a few short days ago at the age of 92. She was the wife of our 41st president, George H. W. Bush. She was one of only two women in history who can be called first lady or first mother. Her and former president, George H. W. Bush had been married for 73 years. That’s amazing compared to most marriages today. Barbara Bush’s eight years as Second Lady made her a household name. After her son Neil was diagnosed with dyslexia, she took an interest in literacy issues and began working with several different literacy organizations. She spent much time researching and learning about the factors that contributed to illiteracy—she believed homelessness was also connected to illiteracy —and the efforts underway to combat both.  She traveled around the country and the world, either with the vice president on official trips or by herself. In 1984, she wrote a children’s book,  C. Fred’s Story , which recounted the adventures of

Oh, how I love snow days!

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful but we really have no place to go. So let it snow let is snow let it snow!  Do you remember as a child hoping you'd have a snow day so you could stay home from school? Us as adults wishing for snow days too so we can stay home from work. Isn't it nice to curl up by the ol' fireplace and watching the snow fly? This is definitely soup and chili weather, not to mention good reading weather. If you're like me, I always keep a stack of books on hand for weather like this.  I live in Virginia and this is a picture of how our roads look today. Ugh, don't they look horrible? My driveway is covered and our county officials are encouraging people to stay indoors and don't go out unless you have too. Luckily, I'm off today and don't have to go anywhere til the end of the week. A good cup of hot cocoa is on my agenda for this evening along with a big bowl of soup. Yum! Yum!  What
