Thought Thursday – Spinning Plates
Hubs and I have seen a few Cirque de Soleil shows and each time, I’m impressed. The athleticism, flexibility, and talent on display, is breathtaking. Years of dedicated practice combined with innate courage and ability makes for a fantastic exhibition of near miraculous contortion, balance, and finesse. Of all the performers, I remain oddly fascinated …

The Huntress
I read Kate Quinn’s, The Alice Network, and loved it. I wish I could offer up the same delight for her latest, The Huntress. A time and POV weaving story, The Huntress features three protagonists and their separate lives/histories that collide in dramatic and near-fatal fashion. Ian Graham seeks justice. Nina Markova seeks revenge. Jordan …

Fun Friday – Expect the Unexpected
On Easter Sunday my son-in-law’s brother suffered a level-5 brain aneurysm. Few people survive a level-5 aneurysm. He did, and I credit his survival to three things: the skill and dedication of the first-responders, and then the neurosurgeons, nurses, and other medical personnel who were critical to his emergent, urgent, and ongoing care; the love …

Thought Thursday: Inspirational Characters
I’m tidying up the first book in my new series in preparation of sending it to the editor, and decided now was a good time to write the Author’s Note (while details are fresh in my mind). In writing it, I discovered the name of the delightful lady who will tempt the hero of book …

Fun Friday – Poki
One of our cats inspires a similar love-hate relationship. He’s into everything, constantly yowling to be let out, pees in shoes and on other things left on the floor when denied admittance to the outdoors forthwith, and uses our baseboards to sharpen his claws. Still, we let him live. Indoors. Even cuddle him. Like Poki, …

Thought Thursday – Common Recovery
If you read Historical Romance, especially Britain-set Romance featuring Dukes, Marquesses, Earls, and the like, you’re likely familiar with settlements and entails, or the way the aristocracy preserved their hold on land, and thus wealth, by preparing sometimes strict legalese restricting the sale of property and limiting who could inherit said property upon the current …

Word Wednesday – Paperback
E-Readers are growing in popularity, but there is still a strong base of hearty and dedicated paperback readers out there. It is to them I dedicate this post. Until last month, the only way to order a paperback version of my books was through Amazon. That is no longer the case. My Dear One and …
