Read MoreI’m Ernest Hemingway?
At least that’s what the quiz on facebook said. I didn’t really like the questions, for example, it asked me what genre I like to read and then gave me a list of about a dozen. NONE were in suspense, mystery so I opted for Tragedy! I think that’s what pushed me toward Hemingway! Isn’t…
Read MoreWhat Would I Do Without Clorox Wipes?
Not get much house cleaning done! That’s for sure! I have a confession to make. I hate to clean house, do laundry, do dishes, etc. For a while I was blessed with having someone come to my house every other week and mop the floor, clean the bathrooms and dust. But that came to an…
Read MoreGracie as President?

Many! And do I fail? Often! Instead I should have been running to Jesus.…
Read MoreICRS!?! Let the Chaos Begin!
It’s as official as it can get. I’m going to ICRS (International Christian Retail Show) as media! That means I get to interview authors for my blog. That also means I’m being inundated with phone calls and email requests by publicity people wanting me to interview their artist/authors. YIKES! Talk about biting off more than…
Read MoreIs the Book Dying?
For years we have been hearing people predicting that the book was dying—on its way out the door. In the future people will read books on the computer or some kind of handheld device like the new Kindle at Amazon (which I do think is neat but way too expensive). I do think those devices…
