Okay, I see these things all over the place and my friend Jaci told me what it was…. so I’m gonna give it shot.

Well, mostly… still not reading much email and I’m not really working, although there is this ghost of an idea I’ve been playing with. Will have to see how it turns out. FYI, surgery sucks.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Karl and I were sort of naughty–no, no, no, not that! We called the kids and told them we loved them but we weren’t going to be home for the holiday. Was that bad or what? We felt like little kids doing something we [...]

Okay - I know we’re not supposed to talk politics on this blog. I promise - no party bashing from me! But I want to urge every one of the Scamps who live in the USA to get out and vote tomorrow. Our political process has flaws, of course, but it is [...]

A question a lot of authors get asked (and I’m no exception ::g: is: Where do you get your ideas?
When someone asks this, I’m never sure they really want the answer, ‘cuz it’s involved, yeah? I did a whole series on it on my Amazon plog, but I think most readers, reviewers, interviewers [...]

I love writing. I love being able to make my living as a writer. I mean, how many jobs are there that let *figuratively* kill off the people who totally tick you off? How many jobs let you work in your jammies all day long, if you want? I can take a break when I [...]
