Today is World Backup Day. Remember to backup all of your devices on a regular basis. You don’t want to lose that precious data. What is one of the worst things that happens to a writer? I would say the loss of all your data. Books, files, covers, research, hours and hours of work. Gone! […]
On A Beach Somewhere
When you read this, I will have just returned from a beach vacation. Even as I write this I’m anticipating digging my toes into the sand while I let the waves rush over my feet. I can see myself reading a book, if my granddaughters will let me, but I might be building a sandcastle […]

Make Cut-Out Snowflakes Day
I live in a part of the United States where we seldom get snow. So on our visit to the northeast part of the US, I was hoping to see some snow. So far all we’ve had is some cold rain and a little sleet. If I have to endure the cold, I say, “Let […]

It is also National Legwear Day here in the United States. This particular unique holiday spoke to me because I have a whole […]

The hero and heroine are working together to give away twelve dogs to deserving children. The dog giveaway is part of a documentary commissioned […]
A New Day
This photo was taken as a new day dawned over the prairie somewhere around the Texas-New Mexico border as we traveled home from Lubbock, Texas, where my husband and I had attended the funeral of my sister-in-law. We had made that same trip a couple of months earlier to see my brother and her. She […]
