Phil literally swept into our lives one Friday afternoon in 2011. My kids were playing outside and began yelling and screaming. I investigated and found them dodging a blackbird. The bird was swooping down on them and flew after them where ever they went. I’d never seen a wild bird act like this before. Intrigued, [...]

My favorite time of the year! Spring! The magnolia tree is in full bloom in my front yard and the daffodils are opening up. The weather is mild and welcoming at a comfortable 70 degrees and the sun is shining! I certainly can’t complain about Mother Nature this time of year.

Friday night had all the elements for the perfect “Hangover” evening – stretch limo, friends, casino, and alcohol.

On her blog she has opened “The Author’s Batcave” and has featured me as her first author interview. Yes, I’m smiling (big grin). [...]

The “Angel of Hope” (pictured) is a recent gift from a friend for having self-published my first novel, Run Like Hell. I currently don’t have a collection of Willow Tree figurines but I love her thoughtfulness & selection. Hope reflects where I’m at in my life. Hope. Of course, I hope to be a NY [...]

Do you ever have a moment when you think, “Wow, I can’t believe I did that?!” But in the good, exhilarated way (not the palm to forehead “duh!” moment). I’m talking High-Five, Slap-me-some-skin, holler at the top of your lungs and throw your arms in the air for victory moment. Well – here’s one of [...]
