April is upon us and I have some fun events on the agenda. Take note, especially if you are in the general Kentucky part of the world, for the places I will be showing up. First on my agenda is the long-awaited World Book Night US event. On the evening...
So I wake up Friday morning and while still staggering about with no coffee yet on board, my husband mentions that our daughter’s 26th birthday is in two days. Indeed I knew that, although I was not clear on the actual dates since I tend to lose track of such...
For the past few days, while I wait for the print version of Darcy and Elizabeth: A Season of Courtship to be delivered so I can review it for final publishing, I decided to have a bit of fun. Creativity in various ways appeals to me, so I set up...

Okay, I admit it… I love birthdays! I’d rather not count the years that are passing, to be honest, but the celebrating part is pretty cool. Especially cake! And presents!! Yeah, I am quite the child when it comes to birthdays. Perhaps the glass of wine with dinner before the...
In this last installment of my lengthy update as to what has been happening with me since my big relocation move to Kentucky, I can reveal the second reason why I was in a mad rush to finish unpacking and setting up house. Actually, I revealed why in the title...
