Writing while being a wife, mother, grandmother can be challenging. Our grandson is staying with us for a week. I’ve tried to find some “fun” things to do with him, but he’s ten, loves Pokemon and other games. His “fun” is a bit different from my “fun” and regular life-things that I take for granted…well, … More Writer Wednesday…
Musikfest starts in less than a week. More than twenty years ago I would count-down the days. The mostly-free music festival in downtown Bethlehem, PA was my yearly “big” vacation.

Why do I do this to myself? I just sent off a resume–not my nurse resume either. This was the resume I wrote for one of my English classes last semester—one that was writer-oriented. Yeah, that’s right, I’m looking for a “real” writer job—not this “job” of working on my own stuff every day. I … More Mitzi Monday where Our Intrepid Heroine Has a Conversation with Herself

And they’ve been taking months to decide. Hm? Science Fiction, huh? Big call for those books? Wait. What? No? Really? But they’re very … More Writer Wednesday – and So the Saga Continues…SWFA and the Indie Author
Book Review – From Gods by Mary Ting Reviewer’s Note: There’s been a kerfuffle over social media lately about whether adults should read “young adult” novels.
