First off, I want to share this pretty picture of a sunset sky in Texas that I took a couple of days ago. I do love the beautiful way Mother Nature splashes color across the sky at sunrise and sunset. Next, I want to let readers know that I am one of the sponsoring authors …
I was so busy with an editing job, I nearly forgot to post Slim Randles latest offering for our reading pleasure. I am always grateful to Slim for sharing his columns with us here, as well as the readers in the hundreds of newspapers across the country where his column, Home Country, appears. He is …
Today I’m going to do something a bit different on the blog. I am on a really tight deadline to finish an edit for a client, so I decided to devote this post to a quick introduction to a few writers and their books. My go-to drink while working is always coffee – good strong …
Please help me welcome Katherine Prairie to the blog today. She is the author of Blue Fire, a suspense novel releasing tomorrow.

This week was kind of lonely without any company or any more birthday celebrations, and I’m glad I have the new dog to keep me company. I’ve had him just a little over a week, and he is settling in quite nicely. The cats, on the other hand, are not being so nice, especially Sammy, …
Before moving on, I want to share a couple pictures from my big birthday bash that was held the end of June. This first one is of my son-in-law, Matt, who doesn’t like to have his picture taken. At any family gathering he joins my son, Paul, in avoiding cameras at all costs. While out …
