We had a great time brainstorming our stories, and I came away with a good foundation for my story! Pictured from left to right are Pam Hillman, me, Stephenia McGee, and Janet Ferguson. I love these three ladies’ books! If you haven’t read them, you need to check them out. I think all three are running specials on their books! …

More Zany Crimes
Well, Hurricane Barry postponed my brainstorming trip this weekend. I was supposed to meet with four great authors, Pam Hillman, Janet Ferguson, and Stephenia McGee to work out the plot of my next book, but since where we were meeting was in the middle of nowhere and the possibility of being without power was not appealing, we decided to wait …

Lying to the Police…
It’s the 4th of July week! And now I can say the year is definitely half over! Forgive my bad math a couple of weeks ago.

More Dumb 9-1-1 Calls
Did you know we are over halfway through the year! Where did the first six months go??? I just finished the first round of edits for the first Natchez book, Standoff and they have been accepted.

Can You Insure It?
I am halfway through my edits. Hope to be done by the time you are reading this!! And yes, there’s a LOT of red on the page. 🙂 Some authors prefer writing the first draft and really get excited about it. I get excited, but it’s the HARDEST work I’ve ever done! The whole time I’m drafting I keep telling …
Scratching My Head
I had a great time last week visiting my family and I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day! Yesterday I posted a photo of our National Cemetery where boy scouts had placed over a thousand flags on graves. I love how Dr. Richard Mabry puts it: “Take a moment and remember the men and women who’ve made the ultimate …
