Today has been very good so far. I'm thankful I got my Bible study done before the exercise class this morning. I'm thankful I joined the exercise class. As easy as the exercises were to the video we watched, it was taxing. I...

I'm not going to get discouraged because people weren't beating the door down to the lounge to buy my books. In fact, it was a very quiet two hours. My son showed up and we talked and munched on those absolutely delicious heath...

I was beginning to think this wouldn't happen with as much as I was away from the site and working on Thread of Evidence, which is now available. However, I am caught up and I will leave you for a little while and start work on...

I've been looking at all the documents I could find online, and finally found the two missing documents, Scarred and Freedom's Cry, that I thought were completely lost except for older versions of them. I can finally breathe...

I've been working most of the day on Scarred. Some of you may know I accidentally deleted my manuscript from my hard drive, and found the copy the editors I fired, sent back to me. I was on Facebook a few minutes ago and saw a...

In a post yesterday regarding Whole30, I mentioned I lost two manuscripts on my hard drive. I did. However, they were not completely lost. Last night after I went to bed, my thoughts were still on Scarred and Freedom's Cry, when...

Personally, I don't see a lot of difference between last month's picture and this one. Maybe you can. The good news is I'm feeling better every month. I've been using a regular shopping cart lately, instead of the mobile one....

I got the e-mail that said my books would arrive yesterday, but it was actually today. I ordered two copies of all my books, plus an author copy for myself. When I went to track my shipment, it told me it would arrive before 5...

This week has been a strange and different one with the loss of my good friend, Rose. Now that that is behind me, it's time to get back to normal. I called my daughter early this morning so I could get laundry done. She must...

I got notice from CreateSpace that both Scarred and Freedom's Cry were ready to proof. I ordered a proof copy and also looked at the digital proof, then set up a call from CreateSpace to find out what the problem is with the...

What, are you kidding me? It's only 7:17 PM. Are you crazy going to bed this early. Yes, but so is the doctor. I need to do the sleep study tonight. So not looking forward to this. I need to have 6 continuous hours for the...

I've taken care of everything I need to regarding Freedom's Cry. But one thing I need is to have control of Scarred, and I don't have that. But I will. What that means is that I will need to re-publish Scarred. I know,...

I've been more than frustrated with my editors for Freedom's Cry. They said they were having some experts read it, yet they didn't read it, so they found someone else they said would read it. In all this time, since August 8, I...

When I was teaching I would go through the school library just before school got out for the summer and selected a couple dozen books to read. I liked to read and I wanted to encourage my students to read as well. That was...

Today was the long awaited author event which started yesterday and goes through tomorrow. This morning I read from Scarred. It was the first time I've ever read, and as nervous as I was, it didn't come through the microphone,...

I'm beginning to love going to the laundromat. I meet some interesting people there. Today I met another person who has done so much in her life and now wants to write a book about her experiences. I told her I was an author...
