when I say, COMING SOON! I really mean it. It’s official, I have submitted the manuscript of School Spirit, Book 3 in the Kimmie Jillison Mystery series, for publication. And let me tell you, I am exhausted. Final draft editing and print set-up are like many hours . . . days . . . weeks…

I hung out with a friend the other day who apologized for being too “fluffy”. She considered her poise, consideration, and compassion a flaw. WHAT?! I mean, yes, I get it, she does spend more time with each client than her cohorts, allowing them to pontificate and share stories of grandchildren, pets, and favorite TV…

Since I watch more television than I read books, it only makes sense to add shows and movies to my critical collection. This week, I give a quick review of the Amazon Prime TV series, Paper Girls. I’d never heard of this comic-based TV show, was completely uninformed when we started watching, but was intrigued…

I am frequently reminded of my own faults and failings. Luckily, for the most part, they are insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but still bothersome to me. I have a Stupid Theory. The theory itself may or may not be stupid, but the idea is that it’s important to sometimes be stupid. It’s…

I am not the avid reader I used to be, but I still try my best to keep up. I have an audio book in my car at all times, I have a bath book (which will probably be ignored until autumn at this point), and a bedside table book. Since I no longer race…

Book 1: The Locked Door by Freida McFaddenBook 2: The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose 3 Sentence Review:1. Both of these novels came as rave recommendations from readers I trust so I was really looking forward to reading them, but I must admit, the fact that BOTH are marketed with the inclusion of much longer…

Hermes is the Greek god of Travel. After last Friday, I can’t help but believe that the cunning trickster and fleet-footed messenger read my previous post, Travel Days are THE WORST, snickered and said, “Hold my beer.” To recap, last Sunday my friend and I booked a room at a hotel near the bus station…
