Why Veronica Scott Wrote ESCAPE FROM ZULAIRE
Thanks for having me as your guest! Many years ago, I read “Shadow of the Moon,” by M. M. Kaye, which was a well researched (and very long) novel set in India in the mid 1800’s. Much of the plot revolves round the Sepoy Rebellion or Incident, the terrible things that occurred during that time…

Dude Deserved His Happy Ending or Why I Wrote MISSING YOU
Luke, the hero of Missing You, helped both his brothers get their gals. He was a hero before he was a hero. The widower totally deserved to be happy again, to have the right gal in his life. I know what you’re thinking. “Gal, that guy is fictional.” But you see, after two novels, none…

Are You Really Living?
I ran across this quote while working on another blog post: “I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels…

We live in a really beautiful country. It is also a very BIG country. Holy cow, is it big! And there are places were AUTUMN happens! Like autumn with leaves changing colors and everything! While there is much to love about living in Texas, I do miss having more than a couple of seasons. And…

Traveling With the Parents, Part 3: Turned Around (aka #hermitroadtrip)
I’m not sure if it is our age, the prolonged effects of the #hermitroadtrip, or the on-the-road-junk-food-diet. Or maybe it is traveling in a different hemisphere from our own? Whatever the reason, the hubs and I (mostly the hubs, though) have lost the ability to tell right from our left. It has made our road…

As soon as I saw this photo, I knew I had to share it. Even if I’m not actually face down, there are times when I feel face down. And yeah, would like to be dragged across the finish line. Thankfully there are some really great people in my life who send me virtual “lift”…

I Miss Hanging Upside Down…
What do you miss about being a kid? This photo, taken by the hubs, took caught my eye. We didn’t do a lot of carnivals when I was a kid, because money was always tight. No, what caught my eye was the stuffed toys hanging upside down. I used to hang upside down a LOT…

Being a Grownup…
Do you ever get tired of being a grownup? I actually found myself envying the grand babies. They cry or pucker up to cry and we all go, “Ahhhh, look how cute!” I am not cute when I pucker up or cry. In fact, the cute train passed my station a long time ago (though…

It’s August…and yeah, dang….
“They” say you’re not supposed to talk about the weather, but it’s AUGUST. There are seasons and then there’s AUGUST. August weather. It’s almost like it is its own season. The reality is that no matter how hot and humid it has been in June and July, it WILL be worse in August. Always. Does…

On Clean Houses and LIFE.
We had family this past weekend and I love, love, love it. We had much chatting. We had much hugging. We remembered and we played with and hugged and kissed babies. Yum! One of the things I do to prepare for incoming is to clean. Or, on good months, I find someone to come shovel…
