Gratitude Posted on October 29, 2023
Gratitude is a key component of wisdom. So, every evening before sleep, I say, "Please..." to the universe. And the next morning when I wake up, I say, "THANK YOU!"

Follow me on Good Reads Posted on October 21, 2023
I admit I am a slug when it coms to social media. It's great, but I seem to always find other ways to spend my time. Still, I'd like to have more people enjoy my stories, so I'm trying to spread the word as it were. Find me on Good Reads (and maybe more to come!)

Seconds Posted on October 16, 2023
If you live to be 80 years old, you'll have roughly 2,522,880,000 seconds in your lifetime. Most of those seconds will pass unrecognized...or you'll sleep through them. But these days, far too many people are wasting precious seconds spreading misinformation, hate and judgment, and I'm betting when their 2 million plus seconds are just about up, they're going to be pretty upset at all the time they wasted!

To My Readers Posted on September 15, 2017
With thousands of writers trying to get published each year, agents and booksellers are inundated with manuscripts. More than anything, I hear, “Publishers are looking for proven commodities.” And, much like TV and movies, the publishing industry prefers to target the eighteen to thirty-nine demographic group. What they seem to want to ignore is the potentially huge market of women readers over the age of fifty. (Do these women really only want to read about thirty-year old people?) For my money, women “of a certain age” should never be invisible!
I read a lot. I relish a good mystery or political thriller, and I like “real life” stories too. But sometimes, I want to dive into a novel that makes me laugh, make me cry, and makes me believe that love is still possible even if you aren’t so young anymore. I hope you feel the same way. And if you enjoy my books, please tell your friends.
