    Borrowing from Peter to Make Paul

    Quick!  Without thinking too much about it, what is the name of your favorite book?  Now, why did you like it?

         

         *  Were you left breathless by the dramatic action?

    Dancing With My Mother

    May 2, 2014

    One of my biggest regrets in life was taking my mother for granted.  She was always such a strong, vibrant woman, capable of mastering any challenge set before her--it was easy to forget she was human.  It was only after she was diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma* that...

    Mindless Meanderings--Living on the Edge

    February 2, 2014

    I'm willing to bet most of my readers have never come home from work only to chase a llama out of their yard, dressed in a skirt and heels.  No, the llama wasn't in a skirt and heels, though if she had been she might've been easier to chase.  Despite its appearnce, a l...

    Fifteen Shades of Gary

    January 3, 2014

    I can't dance, so I doubt I'd ever be brave enough to attempt to write erotica.  Well-written erotica is much harder to do than one might think and the bookshelves are filled with works that fall just short of the mark.  The difference between writing titillating eroti...
