Right at this moment, I'm having a small issue with WordPress. You used to tell them to put your blog at the top of your page by clicking a box. They've changed the language so there's a toggle called sticky. You toggle it on to keep your blog at the top of your page. Good… Continue reading Hot Fun in the Summer Time
Today is June 1, 2024. The temperature is over 100* at noon. Kill me now. These temps make me sluggish, headachy, and grouchy. I am completely unmotivated to write this blog. No rain is likely for a month. This is my really sad face: In the meantime, TJ and I are coming up on the… Continue reading Hot Town, Summer in the City
There are songs I love. So many songs. When I was a teenager, I would write lyrics into my diary, or onto my school notebooks. Pages and pages of song lyrics. Don't for a minute believe they were my own songs, though. They were the Beatles, the Bee Gees, the Monkeys, and others that for… Continue reading I’ve Gotta Get a Message to You
So, book events are like, what did we learn this time? At the Tombstone Western Writers event we learned to make sure certain things in the new trailer still work. Like the refrigerator and the heater. Because wow, was the weather ever cold, rainy, and windy down there. Thursday and Friday were bitterly cold, mostly… Continue reading Here Comes the Sun (in the Valley of the Sun)
Several years ago, I started a new story. Then I stopped writing said story. Then my sister, Susan Wingate said, "You should write a story about..." Her topic was what I had begun years before. Needless to say, I reviewed, reworked, re-edited that manuscript. I have to say, this story is unlike anything I've written… Continue reading New Book! Squee!
Hello! So the bad news is spring doesn't begin until March 19th. The good news is Phoenix Spring has begun with temps in the 70s! Yah, it's a thing in the southwest. I am only hoping the weather ramps up slowly because I love the 60's and 70's, but I loathe actual hot weather. We've… Continue reading Spring Isn’t Here
Happy New Year! May God bless and keep you throughout the entire year and beyond. This scripture, Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I am going to do something new,Now it will spring up; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert, is my scripture verse for this… Continue reading A Hazy Shade of Winter
Fall weather finally arrived in Phoenix the last two weeks. Our doors are open all day except when our neighbors leave their diesel truck running in their driveway, or someone is smoking at their house. Regardless, we can stop running the air conditioner! The electric bills are descending! Hooray! We don't get a lot of… Continue reading Leaves that are Green
It’s Been A Long Time Coming Posted on October 10, 2023 by rdeemd1 Once more, I need to apologize for not writing for so long. TJ and I have been writing, editing… living our lives. There’s not a lot going on. At the same time, there’s so much going on. I have a new manuscript at the BETA readers… Continue reading New Post
This title is so appropriate for Phoenix. I know, I know. The weather is hot where you are, as well. But Phoenix at 115* to 119*, is hardly bearable, and for the whole month of July. Additionally, the monsoon has been a non-soon. Again. That being said, a lot of the State of AZ got… Continue reading Hot Town, Summer in the City…
Good morning, my friends and family! Do you all realize we're almost halfway through the "summer" months? I know actual summer begins June 20 and ends September 20, but most folks consider summer as June, July, August... We're waiting hopefully for the monsoons to arrive. TJ and I are finishing up details on his book,… Continue reading The Dog Days
The typical hot weather of Phoenix took it's ever-loving time getting here. But did that make me unhappy? NO! The temps remained at or under 100* until the actual summer solstice. Now we await the wind shift that brings the monsoon season to the desert. I love the monsoon season. Yes, the weather remains hot,… Continue reading No Cure for the Summertime Blues
So much time passes between blogs. I wish I was dedicated to writing weekly [on here]. TJ and I manage to write almost each day on our books. I'm not sure what story he's working on right now. I, however, am editing his Lost at Sea book. This story is adventure, mobster, and mystery, sort… Continue reading Until You Find Your Dream
Hi, everyone. I hope your April/Spring has been lovely. The weather in Arizona is warming up, and way too fast for me. I can't believe I've been using the air conditioning since the middle of last week. Yuck. TJ and I were in Globe on Saturday, for the Globe Paracon Event. We had a good… Continue reading Ford Every Stream
We have moments in our lives where things seem very dark. We also have those other moments in our lives where things seem exceptionally bright. Today is a bright day for me--a transition day! Six years ago, I got the first diagnosis. Breast cancer. But with only surgery for that, I moved on. Scars don't… Continue reading Climb Every Mountain!
