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 […]

It’s almost a whole week now that the new site has been up and the new blog going out to readers. I am slowly getting used to the new process here at WordPress, and only once put a blog post in the wrong place. 🙂 Despite all the time working on the site has eaten

The Wisdom of Ages is a collection of three short stories that were inspired by real people that I saw in different situations. My writer’s mind couldn’t help but wonder what their stories might be, and my muse gifted me with some ideas. The collection was originally published by Books We Love Publishing, and I

Please welcome Slim Randles as today’s Wednesday’s Guest. He’s here so often he could be called a regular, but Wednesday’s Regular doesn’t have the same rhythm as Wednesday’s Guest, and in my estimation, writing is all about rhythm. I love this essay because I do love to play in the snow, and I miss it
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
