In honor of my mother as Mother’s Day weekend starts, here’s a scene from the book I wrote about her, Evelyn Evolving: A Novel of Real Life. My parents both had volatile tempers, and this is what I imagined one of their fights was about. It’s true that my father didn’t want anything to do …
Since I was in full recovery mode yesterday from an exhausting weekend, I didn’t even try to put a blog together. It probably wouldn’t have made any sense, anyway, because my brain and my body both were slogging through molasses. 🙂 Today is better, so I’m going to let Slim Randles entertain you. First, I …

One of the best parts of spring for me is finding the “gift” of a lovely wildflower when I’m out walking with my dog in the morning. These white ones are popping up along the RR easement and in some yards. Not mine, however. 🙁 I wish I had some. Because of the shade, the …

So I hope all …
One of the best parts of early spring walks, besides the warmer weather, is discovering wildflowers nestled amid some tall grass. I hope nobody mows this empty lot while these beauties are still blooming. The days are quickly winding down to April 10th and the release of Brutal Season. As I mentioned last week I’ve …
Since I’ve been busier than a one-armed paper hanger recently, I’m going to let my friend Slim Randles entertain you today. But first, a word about that old adage. In my youth, I hung a lot of wall paper, and I have to say that there’s no way that a person can do that with …
As things move down the path toward the release of this fourth book in the Seasons Mystery Series, I’m happy to share another excerpt from the story. This is the beginning of Chapter Four, following the shooting downtown Dallas in the midst of protests over the killing of an unarmed young black man by a …
Brutal Season, the fourth book in the Seasons Mystery Series is getting closer and closer to being ready for the release date of April 10. The cover is finished, thanks to the awesome graphic designer Dany. I’d say she was awesome even if she wasn’t my daughter. 🙂 This coming Friday there’ll be a book …
