The Process is Reversed

I fell in love with books when I was a very little girl. In the summer, I would walk three blocks to the library. Only the walk limited the number of books I checked out, usually five. Even as I read stories, I thought of stories: About family members, neighbors, friends, teachers, and mostly, people […]

He’d love to visit your school and change colors just like in his story. Check out his website at www.woodfin.cc

I’m working on a book in my flight attendant mystery series about the pandemic. I’m looking for stories that could be turned into instances of intrigue or chaos. Those accepted into the storyline will receive a notation in the book. In fact, I can make you a character (first name only) My premise is that […]

Looking for “wish I’d been a flight attendant”

I’m writing a cozy mystery series about a grandmother flight attendant who “lands” in one conundrum after another. She’s vivacious, has white hair (stylishly cut, of course) and bright, intelligent blue eyes. But it got me thinking. When I was young, I had thought about being a flight attendant, but something sent me down another […]

Masks

I’m writing a new Casey Click novel that involves our newest item of apparel, the mask. Though controversial, the majority of citizens deem it an inconvenient but cautious requirement when intermixing with others of their species. But what else do masks conjure? Having grown up on cowboy shows where the bad guys wore masks, it’s […]

Looking for stories

While flying, I heard many stories, both from crew members and passengers, with the understood intent that I might incorporate them into books that I’m writing. However, now I am looking for specific subject matter. How has the pandemic changed your life in ways other than reported on the media. Personal experiences, both heartwarming or […]

A Brief Respite

We left a moderate winter in Minnesota for a brief respite in northern Florida. Having grown up in Florida, I knew it could be chilly this time of year. However, even 50’s would offer a nice change. We landed to a balmy 67 degrees and for the first week, the temperatures bounced around in the […]

Leaving sub-zero weather

Not sure of the age of my granddaughter the last time we went to the beach on the Gulf of Mexico but we’re leaving soon for another visit. This time she is one year away from college. I wonder if she’ll still feed the sea gulls and make sand castles.

New book is out

The new book, that I had hoped to have out by Halloween was published on the Day of the Dead. It’s strange to write about Wicca just as I was approaching Halloween. There are so many mixed messages in the holiday. Some don’t like it because they tie it to the devil which my research […]

Writing about Halloween number two

Let’s try this again. Halloween is a little over a month away and it’s a controversial holiday. Yes it dates back to pagan times when people believed that on All Hallowed’s Eve, the night before Halloween, the veil was very thin between those who had passed and those who still lived. Thus, that night they […]
