Today in Part 2 of my favorite literature novels, I am continuing the list begun in Part 1 from last Thursday. In that blog I shared my journey to discovering novels and my favorite titles by Robert Ludlum, James A Michener, Taylor Caldwell, and a few others. Please read that...
I consider myself fortunate in that I have always loved reading books from nearly every genre category imaginable. As to why this is, I am not exactly sure although I suspect living in a population less than 3000 mountain town in California where the only library was the small one...
As promised last Thursday, I am back to finish up my list of favorite authors and titles within the fantasy and sci-fi genres. For the record, I am clear that JRR Tolkien is #1 with David Eddings a very close #2. After that, I can’t say I have a precise...
When I was 11, my six-years-older sister handed me her dog-eared copy of JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit. I was forever digging through her piles and shelves of books, our mutual love for reading already well established even if I was a bit too young to appreciate many of the books...
The celebration marches on, at least for me it does! As I thrill in the publication of my latest novel, the biggest chore is getting the word out to potential readers. In this fickle business, a three-plus-year hiatus is nearly enough to become a forgotten dinosaur. To be honest, I...
I have long since accepted the twist of fate that brought me to the world of romance and Jane Austen, and learned to laugh at the irony that this life-long reader of fantasy and sci-fi is now writing sappy stories of happily-ever-after! Vague twinges of guilt remain when folks mention...
I am really excited to share a special Valentine treat for me… especially because it is a nice treat for all of you too! To my great pleasure I was invited to spend Valentine’s Day – so to speak – at Booktalk With Eileen. Yippee! For starters, Eileen read my...
While up to my eyeballs in prep for the RWA Conference, I received word of a new review for Miss Darcy Falls in Love. Yeah! It is always a thrill to read a wonderful review! I managed to swiftly thank the reviewer – Veronica at Dark Jane Austen – and...
For the first time since Monday when I began my foray into blogging about the two daily designated Armchair BEA topics, I won’t be separating the posts. Why? Well, for one, when it comes to the non-fiction genre, I have never been a big fan so have little to say....
Sorry I am getting my post up a bit late. I spent last night visiting with a writer friend – as we do each Wednesday – working on our own novels, so didn’t have time to delve into today’s second Armchair BEA topic. That is, as the title suggests, sharing...

The week-long event called Armchair BEA is going strong. I certainly am having a blast! Working in the middle of the fun yesterday dampened my ability to hop across the blog-o-sphere as I wish, but I plan to make up for lost time on my days off! If you are...
Over on the Armchair BEA Blog the discussion on classic literature is going on all day with TONS of links to other bloggers hosting their discussion on the subject. People will be sharing their favorites, making recommendations, discussing why they love the classics, and so on. Remember, too, that adding...
I can’t believe my fabulous novel – The Passions of Dr. Darcy – has already been out into the world for a week! My, how time flies! Sadly part of my busyness this week was getting taxes done, which is never fun. Probably should have planned such an unpalatable task...
Many thanks to author Linda Banche for this lovely review of The Passions of Dr. Darcy. Posted on her blog – Linda Banche and Her Historical Hilarity – Linda has nothing but wonderful praise for George Darcy and his tale of adventures. I’m posting the review in its entirety below,...
