Photo by Taryn Elliott on Pexels.com I love scrolling through photos and dreaming of places I might go. This picture makes me feel exhilaration and promise. She may be alone for now, but the future is waiting and she's ready to chase them wherever they lead. Last week on the news, an eighty-year-old woman overcame …
Photo by Anna Kanifatova on Pexels.com The long, lazy days of summer are here and with it, some amazing books to read! July is a busy birthday month in our family. The first was my niece's (nice to celebrate with Canada Day fireworks!), the ninth was hubby's and we had a surprise visit with family …
Summer is just around the corner and with it, our thirty-ninth anniversary. Guess what DH got me? A Jaguar! (The car, not the cat, lol) I've always dreamed of owning one and he decided since I've put up with him for so long, I deserve it, lol. It's an F-Pace with midnight blue metallic paint …
I'm humbled by this beautiful review and surprise post on Carla Loves to Read- thank you so much!
I'm thrilled to be included with these amazing authors, Cheryl Oreglia and Toni Pike, on Sally Cronin's Smorgasbord blog!
Photo by u4e09 u70b9sky on Pexels.com Spring has arrived and my grumpy, downer spirit is renewed, lol. I've been reading up a storm and have fallen way behind in reviews- oops. Hopefully, in the next couple of weeks I can make inroads on the omissions. Here are today's top picks. Click the covers to learn …
I'm sorry I disappeared for a while. No, I didn't get lost, I've been busy! lol As you probably know after all my online whining, we had to do a major overhaul of our garden thanks to the last few years of drought conditions. The RV Park chose this route rather than substantially raising our …

After a stressful week it's soul-lifting to see signs of spring and gorgeous blue skies. My cat, Harley, (a Christmas gift from hubby eleven years ago) came down deathly sick. She wouldn't eat or drink and barely moved for three days. This was on Thursday night, so we couldn't even take her to the vet. …
Spring is here and I'm so happy! This is one of the cute little crocuses popping up in the garden. I love their fuzzy orange sherbet centers 🙂 This week I have a few reviews from some of the amazing writers I've met on the blogs. Please click the covers and support our blogging community. …
Terri Webster Brandt's Sunday Stills Challenge is GREEN this week. You can see her post here and join in if you're so inclined. Spring is slowly starting to show its colors in the Pacific Northwest. We are about a month behind normal, but I'm glad to see the sun! In the Spring, I have counted …

Photo by 7inchs on Pexels.com Isn't this photo magical? There's something about the ocean that instills the same sense of awe as witnessing the Aurora Borealis, a rainbow while the sun shines and the rain falls, a fawn. What part of nature is spellbinding for you? This week I've read a variety of interesting novels, …
Thank you, Diana Peach, for the lovely reviews including my romance novella, With This Heart.
This was a great month of reading, and I have some wonderful books to share. All but one of these books are written by indie authors, and I have to say, the talent in this community is amazing. Every month, I’m impressed almost beyond words. I hope everyone is up for some great reading.
February’s reviews include my 4 and 5-star reads of two dark short story collections, an international thriller, a romance novella, paranormal/occult fiction, a Christian thriller, experimental fiction, and an Edgar Allen Poe retelling.

Spring was soooo close, then we got a rude Arctic outflow that brought below seasonal temps and some of the white stuff. I'm hoping it doesn't do too much damage to the tender buds, but we shall see. This week I'm catching up on a few NetGalley reviews and one from a local bestselling author …
A special thank you to Sally Cronin for this wonderful review of Letting Go, the first in my Defiant Sisters Duet.
Delighted to share my review for – Letting Go: The Defiant Sisters- Book1 (The Defiant Sisters Duet) by Jacquie Biggar.
About the book
A coming-of-age novel about the pain of misconceptions and learning from them.
When life gives you lemons…

Mom is barely in the grave and the prodigal child is here to pick the bones clean.
I don’t want her here. My sister’s defection is a wound that won’t heal, and her return simply rubs at the scabs covering my heart.
I’ve managed just fine without her. She can go back to her fancy college and forget about us- that’s what she does best anyway.
If only I didn’t need her help. Or miss her so much.

The day my dad committed suicide I ran. I’ve been running ever since.
Going home is supposed to be the answer, instead it makes me question every thoughtless decision I’ve…

Photo by Mudassir Ali on Pexels.com I realize it's early in the year to be picking favorites, but holy-grim-reaper, the Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones is some of the best murder/mystery/fantasy/romance books I've read in a long time! I've known of Darynda for several years- in fact, her first book won the coveted RITA …
Photo by Jenna Hamra on Pexels.com We've been enjoying a nice dry spell on the Pacific West Coast, but the temperatures are chilly overnight making a warm fire, cozy blanket, and a four-legged heating pad extra comforting. I'm still not writing, but I have been reading some excellent books which I hope to share with …
What's your dream job? Other than becoming a world-famous author (still working on that one 😁), or a National Geographic photographer (camera equipment is EXPENSIVE!), I used to fantasize about carpentry- I know, strange, right? Photo by Caroline Cagnin on Pexels.com I've always been a fan of captivating architecture, whether it's a twenty-story post-modern building, …
