In the News

Working a full-time job and making the time to write is a delicate balance that seemed to tilt more than remain level. But now that I have retired, the excuses have begun to run out! But, my appreciation continues for all the other writers who also have careers, and in some circumstances, also take care of the needs of a family.

 

In the life of a writer, sometimes lots of things happen all at once, and sometimes, nothing happens at all. I wish to keep those interested apprised concerning any upcoming readings, book signings, or appearances, just in case you might want to stop by and say, ‘Howdy.’ I continue to appreciate any and all support.

 

Writing a book is a lengthy, heart-wrenching process, but seeing the final product makes it all worthwhile. I enjoy sharing my experience; the good, bad, and ugly, in the hope it will assist others to take that fearless step. I’ve said it many times, ‘If I could do it, it simply has to be easier for you!’

 

Drop by my site from time to time and see what's going on in my head in this ‘News’ section. I have never found an appreciation for the word 'blog' so I label my written considerations 'Posts' for your reading pleasure. Once a month I offer my input where you least expect it. Each post has the availability for comments, so let me know your thoughts, perspective, or what crosses your mind. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
