March Happenings
We are going through a cold, snowy spell in New Jersey this weekend, but spring is just around the corner, which definitely raises my spirits. Also raising those spirits was some great news I received the other day. “Red Velvet …
Please Come to My Virtual Interview – Wayne Public Library
On Thursday, December 9th at 11 a.m. I will be interviewed via Zoom by Jeanette Pardo, a librarian at the Wayne Public Library in northern New Jersey. I’d love to have you there and it’s so easy because you don’t …
Red Velvet Crinkles and Christmas Sprinkles
With the holidays getting closer, it’s time to get into the spirit. I usually begin by watching Hallmark Christmas movies (which now start before Halloween). I also like to read holiday-themed books. This year my publisher, The Wild Rose Press, …

I am thrilled that two of my novellas, “The Blueberry Swirl Waltz” and “A Song For Another Day” each came in first in their categories in the NEST (National Excellence In Story Telling) contest. “The Blueberry Swirl Waltz” won the …

It came time to do a test that I could send to my teacher, Derek, to see if I was on the right path. (Did you notice I didn’t say track?) I recorded (many times) a two minute section of …
Days 2-3 of my Audio Book Journey
