Overwhelmed
I thought life after (well I'm not telling now because someone said I should stop talking about it) was supposed to slow down when you're semi-retired. OK, retired. Not if you're a writer. I'm sitting here in the Admiral's Club…
The Outcome is not The Outcome
I am blessed by some of the collective wisdom of several other writers I follow, and one email this morning touched me more than most. The writer, Neil Strauss, was talking about how we are so goal-oriented, that we focus…
Fire As The Villain
In my new release, coming out Tuesday, Love Me Tender, Love You Hard, I used fire as the villain, not a person, like I usually do. As I was finishing up the book, the fires had just started in Southern…
Moving and Hot SEALs: Oh My!
I won't lie. I LOVE this piece. Sort of sums up my life at the current time. I'm an eclectic mix of traditional and quirky, all tied up in a collection of "found" pieces like this artist depicts. He doesn't…

MOVING: 35 YEARS OF MEMORIES-New Memories Ahead
I took a deep breath when my husband said, "I'm retiring, and we're going to sell our home." I'm not a good one for change, as most of you lovely readers know. I hang on to the bitter end sometimes…
Here Come the Bone Frogs and Silver SEALs

Things We Do On Sundays
Romance readers get to do things on Sundays other people never do. They get to travel with Navy SEALs, conquering bad guys and falling in love with strong, courageous women. They get to travel back in time with warriors of…
