    Finished up the mystery short story I mentioned in my last post and came up with a title. Not particularly inventive, but it works. “Murder in Crab Lake”. [Note: My wise hubby thought “Crab Lake” wasn’t a good choice. After consideration I agreed, and changed it to Murder in Blue Lake. I like this much…

      Right now I’m working on a mystery. Don’t have a working title for it…yet…but since I “write in the dark” (ala Dean Wesley Smith), that’s okay. I came across an anthology which was supposed to start with the phrase, “No shit, there I was”. It could be any type of story, but it had…

    It wasn’t that he hated the house. No, it was a wonderful house. It was just that it reminded him of what  a waste it had all been. His entire life had been wrapped up in acquisition so much that he’d entirely forgotten what it was like to be human. Well, that’s not exactly true.…

      Betty was a small town girl, but that didn’t mean she always would be. It would take about a year at this rate to collect the names…but that was not soon enough so she had to step it up. Faster. The plan was simple, really. Just begin by tapping into the church social circle…

    Isn’t this a beautiful image? Wouldn’t it be amazing to walk across the clouds? I’ve started this website as a central location for all of my writing. A place to put my thoughts, ideas, and links to books that I’ve yet to write. 😀 Although I own a small copywriting business, I also love to…
