Last week I received my CBD Fiction Catalog and immediately sat down and looked through it. I’ve always loved getting this catalog and ordering my favorite books from it. Some years back–after I’d been writing a few years–I remember getting the CBD catalog and looking at the fiction titles, wishing that someday mine would be there. But rejection after rejection …
Suzy and the Highjacked blog…
Hi, Suzy here. I’ve highjacked Patricia’s blog today because she’s been too busy to pay any attention to me. You see I have the password, and I won’t tell her what it is. I mean everything was going along just fine. Every morning while she was working at the computer I was doing my regular thing of sitting in her lap. …

When Life Turns on a Dime
I had planned on an entirely different post today. But life happens. Today, instead of being at home working on the first book in the Cold Case series set in Memphis, I’m sitting at St. Francis Hospital in Memphis.

Dear Fund Beneficiary …
What Did You Want to Be…
When you were a child, what did you want to be? I wanted to be a cowboy. Every year when the Sears and Roebuck toy catalog arrived, I spent hours pouring over the pages lined with cowboy boots and fringed jackets and toy cap pistols. And the hat–don’t forget the hat! I didn’t spend much time in the BB gun …
Do Kids Play Kick-the-Can Anymore?
Someone asked me the other day if kids played kick-the-can anymore. I didn’t know, so I asked a couple of kids at church. They looked at me like I’d lost my mind and asked, “Why would you kick a can?” I started to explain that it was a game I played outside when I was their age, but I gave up when they …

The Sole Tree Update or unusual things you’ll find in the South
I’m a little early on my Strictly Southern blog, but I’ve been sick and the idea of doing an update post on the Sole Tree post sounded like a great idea–the first one was for the MBT Ponderers way back in 2011. Since that time a LOT of shoes have been added. It still amazes me how the little oak can …
