  • Take a (last) Chance on #AugustAudio

    This the LAST #AugustAudio giveaway! I can’t believe August is almost over already! Usually it just hangs on and on and on and on…well, you get the idea. August is not usually my favorite month, but I’ve loved August this year. I got to escape the heat AND share some audio books with all of…

  • #AugustAudio: Family Treed

    Well, we’re over halfway through #AugustAudio! If you haven’t tried an audio book, or even if you have, be sure to check out the hashtag #AugustAudio to score some free audio books. This week, I’m sharing a short one. “Family Treed” is the short story between Relatively Risky and Dead Spaces. If you’re not sure…

  • Turn on an #Audiobook with #AugustAudio

    So we’re two weeks into August and two weeks into #AugustAudio. So far August is winning the most. It always kicks me around, but one thing I do to escape August is put on the headphones and slide into an audiobook. Listening to a book is a fun experience—and very different to reading a book.…

  • #AugustAudio Fun!

    I usually dread August with, well, I won’t say passion, because that takes too much energy, and one does NOT want to ramp the energy output in the heat. That just makes you hotter and it’s already August Hot. Yes, there is such a thing as August Hot. Not matter how hot it is in July,…

  • Where Do You Get Your Books?

    There was some drama in author world this week. Okay, there’s usually drama in author world. We have BIG imaginations and care passionately about our business. But I’m not in Kindle Unlimited (Amazon’s book subscription service), the review drama makes me tired (what I feel when I run into something I have no control over),…

  • #GrandmaProject Report & Books for 2 yr olds?

    So I thought I ought to return and report on how the #GrandmaProject went during the holidays. I’m happy to note that: No grandchildren were lost or injured during the holidays No parents or grandparents were lost or injured during the holidays In fact, there was an extreme level of sheer happiness for the grandparents…

  • eReader Diving into Audio: Escape From Zulaire

    I thought I’d give my eReader diving meme a twist this week and dive into my audio books. I didn’t use to be a huge audio book reader, but when I started releasing my books into audio, well, I got sucked in. Or possibly it is an age thing. A reversion to childhood, this pleasure…

  • I Still Love You – Why I am “Reading” The Corinthian

    Sometimes revisiting the past, comparing memory with present reality, is a painful process. I know when I visit home, it all seems so small. It’s not a shock really. I was a lot smaller when I lived there, but it still surprises me. I think I make adjustments in my memory. It can happen with…

  • Why I Read/Loved: Miss Buncle’s Book by DE Stevenson

    My mom introduced me to author DE Stevenson a lot of years ago. So many years ago that figuring them out would require math and I try not to do math on this blog. Or anywhere. Because I don’t like math. So we’ll stick with: “a lot.” At the time, not all her books were…

  • Monday’s Back with a Bwahahaha and Possibly a Har Har Har

    Monday’s Back with a Bwahahaha and Possibly a Har Har Har

    One year—last or maybe the year before that?—Facebook did a word cloud of my status’ (statisi?) and my most used word was: Monday. Sadly, most of those statisi were whining about Monday. I’m not sure why Monday is able to kick my tush. I work from home (author) and the nest is empty (#GrandmaProject goes…
