Agents have very precise guidelines for submitting work for their review. If you fall down on one, say margins or page numbers or typos, the entire submission is trashed, it appears. So, in striving to meet agent requirements, not only do I strive to meet all the guidelines, but I also review what writers the […]
Yesterday, I talked to an old friend who mentioned something that her son and my son had done together when they were in their very early teens. We lived about a half-mile to a mile from a house that had a front room converted to a candy store. It was called Dolly’s. The friend reminded […]
I have the most amazing Beta readers. Not only do they find errors after 8 rounds of editing; but they also offer insights into the research behind the story. The most enjoyable part is the relationship some of them have made with one or two characters, giving humorous anecdotes regarding their position in the story, […]
I’ve recently finished my latest Casey Click mystery (working title “Race For It”) but find I need more motorcycle action. I’ve watched numerous races, primarily in the location used in the book, the Isle of Man, but it’s hard to watch as a spectator and represent on paper the actual feelings of racing.

There’s a large burial mound in the northern part of Minnesota. It’s said that it was once as high as a two-story building. Ignorance and greed caused it to be ransacked […]
You may be surprised to read that over three thousand people get lost yearly in our National Forests, and you may be relieved to hear that most are found. Those unharmed are called Saves. Then others are found, injured, or deceased by natural causes; heart attack, fatal injury from a fall, etc. But, at the […]
In researching the Laurel people, I found that they made burial masks for their deceased. Legend has it that the masks helped them find their spiritual self. Seems like the dark ages? Not true; consider that Abe Lincoln, Stalin, Dillinger, and even a beheaded queen had burial masks. Eek, was the head still attached? And […]
