My weekend wasn’t nearly as exciting as last weekend, but I was busy. On Saturday I gave my very first guitar lesson. While I’ve been playing guitar for many moons – the thought of putting the exact number of years made me cringe – I’ve never taught. But early last week a lady contacted me …
Last week ended on a high note for me, an amazingly high note, and how it all happened is quite a story. It started Thursday morning when a good friend, Becky, called to ask if I would go to the Winnsboro Area Chamber of Commerce Banquet with her Thursday evening. She said “they” were making …
My weekend was busy with a concert on Saturday night at the Winnsboro Center for the Arts. (Yes, that has become my second home. LOL) Sara Hickman played to a sold-out crowd, and her show was great. In addition to telling great stories in music, she also tells great stories to introduce songs, and the …
In lieu of a Valentine’s Day party we had a Mardi Gras celebration at the Winnsboro Center for the Arts and it was great fun. There was lots of good food, festive decorations and costumes, and music on our grand piano thanks to Mary White and Paul Miller. How was your Valentine’s Day weekend? What …
As part of the celebration for Doubletake winning the 2015 Best Mystery Award from the Texas Association of Authors, I decided to do a Kindle Countdown deal, so the book will be only $1.99 for today and tomorrow, then it will go up to $2.99 for two days before going back to full price on …

This past weekend was a quiet one for me. I stayed home Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and got a lot of little bits of business taken care of; fixing some of the pages here on the new site, writing press releases, ordering more books, updating information for the theatre, arranging for guest bloggers here, as …
How was your weekend? Mine was busy, but a lot of fun. Yesterday I met with my writer’s group and received some good feedback on my new book. Saturday, I was at the Winnsboro Center for the Arts, keeping the doors open, and met some folks who were interested in the current exhibit and art …
Here in my little corner of East Texas we dodged a weather bullet this weekend. There was the possibility of ice and maybe snow, and while I wouldn’t have minded the snow, I was not eager to go slipping and sliding down the path to the barn. Luckily, the really nasty stuff stayed north and …
The beginning of a new week is almost as energizing as the beginning of a new year; a fresh start to all the things for which you have set goals. I’m going to be working a lot at the art center the rest of this month as we prepare for a major fundraiser, and I’m …
