I could begin by using the excuse that’s it’s simply been too damn hot here at the ranch in Texas to do much of anything besides sip cool drinks, move slowly from air conditioning to air conditioning, and relax in chilly water troughs. Well, maybe the last part is a stretch, but in spite of […]
Trying to keep a site updated is a full-time job, if you’re self-taught, like me. Not my strong suit. MANY good things are happening, and like most, getting back into the swing of what used to be a “normal routine” has been a challenge. It’s always a balancing act, but so much has changed, personally […]

Like most of us, my days aren’t as defined. I have to remind myself it’s a New Year, one without resolutions, but full of hope.My calendar revolves around “have to do’s” and life’s obligations, but they do help me remember what day it is, most of the time. 2021 was the year I spent learning […]
It finally feels there’s a snap in the air here in South Texas, the photo is of a creek in my back 40. It’s been too long, but I DO have a “good excuse, besides the fact that tech takes me forever to wrangle. I’ve been working super-hard for weeks and months at my writing, […]
It feels great navigating life again. I’ve allowed myself a small “break from the crazy” to re-charge a bit before an upcoming trip, but I’m gearing up for what promises to be an exciting remainder of 2021.. I have a couple of “by invitation” projects working for later this year I’m very excited about, I’ll […]
It’s been an unusual Spring here in South Texas to say the least. Weekly storms, some severe, easing back into “life” whatever it looks like now, and much excitement in my little writing corner. June is my “birthday month” as the kids say, grateful for more time with all I love. I continue to work […]

You’ll meet my young Texas water witch, “Birdie Montrose”and other spellbinding […]
My story, “The Contract” was such a fun one to write. A bit of a challenge as the submission guidelines presented by D&T Publishing (and you do need to heed the guidelines) didn’t allow for any relatable connection to an already existing game of any kind. The originality of the theme intrigued me, and the […]
Coming soon! Most of us would probably prefer not to revisit 2020, but I’m looking forward to the new year with a fresh outlook. Although many things have changed and continue to be fluid, it’s also been a great time to reflect and reconsider what truly gives us satisfaction in our lives. Don’t wait to […]
