  • Don't Mess With Mama

    This has nothing to do with writing, reading, Scotch or anything remotely close to my journey to publication. (Yes, Scotch is very important to that particular journey.) Sparky sent this to me in an email and I got a chuckle out of it so I thought I'd share it with you. *Note I didn't take…

  • Where Have All the Words Gone?

    This is something I've never had to deal with before and its freaking me out. Here I sit with my computer before me all ready to lay down the words that have been living inside my mind for the past four weeks. I'm ready to give a voice to the dark haired man with eyes…
