I was super excited a couple days ago to finish a book. The third book in my racecars series just kind of poured out of me. Since that’s my favorite way for stories to happen, I was elated, and when I finished, I was so thrilled I was bouncing off the walls. LOL I seriously… more goodness …
Last month, I told you the story of my newest Work-In-Progress, about how I asked blog readers and Patreon supporters to help me name it, how I’m learning to use the Three Act Structure to plot my stories, and how one of my friends took pity on me and helped me organize my thoughts into… more goodness …
I’m hard at work on a new story. This one has taken me a while to figure out, and I thought I’d share with you its tale. The new story has had a couple of names in its short existence. At first, it was “What Mrs. Bennet Heard.” That was a great title for the… more goodness …
It’s Memorial Day weekend here in the States. There have been parties and parades, a night race in Charlotte, North Carolina, and lots and lots of campers/tourists in my town. Two of the biggest activities around here in the summer, especially amongst the out of towners who invade every weekend, are boating and fishing. I… more goodness …
I got excited when I first thought about writing this post, thinking I’d research Jane Austen’s mom and their relationship, given that my mom’s birthday was May 6th and Mother’s Day is May 12th.

You may remember that last year, I made a fake Facebook wall for Jane Austen. I greatly enjoyed doing it, and it seemed like blog readers liked it, as well. So, I thought I would give us a peek into what text messages might be passing between our favorite author and her best friend and… more goodness …
I was recently thinking about how I scroll past so much stuff on Facebook, and don’t watch or read the news, and I got to thinking about newspapers. There is a lot to consider about newspapers. Nowadays we can read them online, though not as many are free as there used to be. The size… more goodness …

Many of you will remember that last year, I shared how difficult Christmas has been for me for many years. I wrote a Christmas book last year, and it was the first one I had done, though I had written a short story a couple of years earlier that became part of Promises Kept. I’m… more goodness …
It’s that time of year again, when we haul boxes out of attic or basement, dump the pile of mouse poop off the tops of them, and pull out all the pretties within to decorate our houses. This year, that has not gone so well for me. LOL It’s a long story, but the short… more goodness …
I’m writing a Christmas story for my blog, and thought it would be a great idea to have Darcy and Elizabeth marry on Christmas Eve. I was reminded by some friends about Holy Days in the church, and that marriages are restricted on certain days. That led me down quite the rabbit hole of research.… more goodness …
