As you probably know by my post about tea, I love shortbread cookies. Well I found a good recipe and wanted to share it with all of you. I cannot believe how simple, yet how delicious these are. I gave my niece a sandwich bag of them and told her to share with my mother. […]

Hawaiian Bread for the Bread Machine
The other day one of my readers in my Facebook Yellow Rose group asked me about a recipe for Hawaiian Bread. It just so happens, I do have a bread machine recipe for Hawaiian Bread similar to King’s Hawaiian bread. I’ve tried several recipes and this one is by far my favorite. If I’m not […]
Dealing With The Dreaded Writers Block
I’ve debated for a while now about writing a post and sharing my experience with writers block and finally decided it’s time. I know I can’t be the only one to have experienced this and if I can help others through what I dealt with then it makes it all worth it. As you may […]
Diplomatic Relations is Now Available!
My first brand new book in several years is now available for the first time in print! It’s been a long time coming, but I hope you all enjoy reading Diplomatic Relations as much as I enjoyed writing it. Dalton and Blaise were a lot of fun to write and, I have to admit, one […]
Memorable Valentine’s Day + Pecan Millionaires
One of my most memorable Valentines day was a couple of years ago. I believe I was working on My Regelence Rake at the time. The day started out pretty normal. I did some writing and got a nice surprise in the mail. I had just gotten some homemade chocolate turtles in the mail from […]
Show Holes
Show Holes: (definition from Urban Dictionary). When you finally finish binge-watching all the episodes of a favorite TV series on Netflix/Hulu/Amazon, as the credits to the final episode roll, that empty feeling that wraps around your soul because you don’t know now what to do with your life. Like a good friend just left you […]
My Favorite Bread Machine Recipe
As some of you may know, I love my crockpot and my bread machine. They have saved me a lot of money and a lot of time. Time better spent writing. 😉 For crockpot recipes I highly recommend Stephanie O’Dea. I love her Make it Fast, Cook it Slow recipe books. You can also find a lot of […]
Tea Time
In my current work in progress, two of the characters are native Regelans who have been abandoned on a different planet with a lot less technological advancements than Regelence. Needless to say, they miss their tea. One of the first things they do is ask Bannon, whose ship crashed on the planet, if he has […]
Exercise and Writing
With all the talk of New Years resolutions, I got to thinking about exercising since that is such a common resolution people have. It is not mine, however; I already workout regularly. I’ve always exercised off and on, but since August of last year I’ve exercised consistently. In the past, I always had good intentions […]
Christmas Traditions
I’ve been thinking a lot about culture and tradition lately because of the my work in progress. Specifically, I’ve been pondering how those things are changed and how they grow. Changes can come as a consequence of invasion, or expansion, out of necessity (such as women working when men went off to war), or from […]
White Chocolate, Cranberry & Oatmeal Cookies
My parents, niece, and I visited a lovely little pecan store about an hour and a half away from us a couple of weekends ago. If you are ever in Santo, Texas look up The Gilbert Pecan Co. My niece and I went a little nuts, pun intended, and bought way more than we should […]
