Power, passion and pride...
June 29, 2026

Hello all my peeps and pups.

(warning: this will be a short post) You all know how I love to ramble on about all the joys and trials in my life. But today I'll just share a bit real quick.  Mostly because I'm sitting in a gas station parking lot, borrowing their wifi as the clock ticks on closer to midnight. 

Yep, you guessed it. The power is out at home (again) and no guarantee that it will be back on in time to send the news out on time. It's one of the few downsides to rural life. So here I am. More comfortable than expected but still going to reign in my chatty tendencies. 

When I get back to my dark house I'll comfort the pups and settle onto the sofa. That way the morning sun will wake me up and I can make sure hubby makes it off to work. Then you know? Everything else will be about the same. Power or no power, I'll still have to take care of all the critters. Though it might mean carrying water.... Not looking forward to that,

(I'm very glad that I wrote this a few days ago.) 
It's the end of June's Pride Month. Just 11 more months to remember that we all have the right to feel pride in who we are. It might get called Pride Month, but really it is an all year thing. All my peeps have the right to their own opinions and choices, but never doubt for a second that my own include valuing the right to be and love and find happiness. Period. Not because of any feature or choice. People just need the elusive essentials known as love, hope and acceptance. If you are like me and want to make the world a better place, share a little of those with everyone, every single day. 

I'll be adding a few events to my schedule next week. As well as continuing too do my writing and editing. I've been busier than usual lately and it's been interrupting my writing routine but I'll still be at the computer lots.

Haha... just got a text from hubby. The power just came on. But I'm going to set this post to send before I head for home. No telling it it might go off again before I get there.


Read more and be your own power!

FARM UPDATE
This weekend we had baby koi sales on both Saturday and Sunday.  It was sooo much work but also very rewarding to share my pretty little babies with other pond lovers in the area. And the cash doesn't hurt my feelings any either.

The Inspiration Behind Athair... Surprise: It's My Dad!
June 22, 2026

Hello all my peeps and pups.

It's been a good week. The garden is growing. We already harvested a bunch of zucchini, lettuce and kale. The animals are happy naughty. The books are coming along. 

Spent yesterday with my family celebrating Father's Day.  My dad is amazing. He's also the inspiration behind bits of many of my characters.  Most notably Athair from Father of the Wolf. 

Big shout out and thanks to the peeps who answered last week's call. Five of you left a review or rating for The Wysh. Claudia P called it a "cute and sexy little romp".  I appreciate you. 

Now it's time to get back to torturing my characters.


Read more and enjoy the sunshine!
