Tomorrow is St. Patrick’s Day, and I think we all celebrate the day even if we’re not Irish. I left Suzy home with a sitter and will be celebrating at the Mid-South Christian Writers Conference this weekend, so I may be a little slow in responding to comments until Sunday. 🙂 Earlier this week I read Things I Never Told You by …
Was It Murder or Suicide?
One of the neat things I get to do as an author is to appear on TV occasionally. And yesterday was one of those days. I was on Alive@Nine on WREG in Memphis with Johnnie Alexander, my critique partner and author of The Misty Willow Series and Where Treasures Hide. We were promoting the Mid-South Christian Writer’s Conference. It’s a …
Reader Friday – Beneath The Surface
My first week after turning in Justice Delivered to my editor has been hectic catching up on everything I let slide…like entering my checks into my computer and the Scavenger Hunt last week and cleaning house. I really did mean to clean house…and I did take a stab at my office. (so I could get in it) Anyway, on to this week’s …
The Profiler
Oh, my what a weekend! I was part of the Spring Scavenger Hunt and my head is spinning. It was so much fun, but I was kept hopping. 🙂 I hope you all had a chance to read the blogs at the 30 stations. Lots of information about your favorite authors. Oh! And I mailed the manuscript to my editor …

A Crazy Court Case
This week my deadline is coming at warp speed. If I keep myself behind the computer, I just might make it! So my post will be short and only include the Mystery answer for last week and this week’s question. 🙂 Here’s last week’s Mystery: It’s 1920 in Camden, New Jersey. Each week a sixty-year-old runner for the Broadway Trust Bank in …
Reader Friday – The Great Divorce
Can you believe I hadn’t read The Great Divorce by C. S. Lewis until recently? It was given to me by my good friend and fellow writer, Delores Topliff, for my birthday back in January. Since I was deep into getting Justice Delivered finished (and by this time next week it will sit on my editor’s desk!), I only had time to read in …
Cornfield Sherlock Holmes
We had a little mystery in my neck of the woods this morning as I write this blog. There’s this big yellow ball in the sky. Not sure what it is…someone said it could be the sun, but I’m not sure–it’s been so long since I’ve seen it, I can’t remember what it looks like. 😉 During this rainy season, …
Reader Friday – Stars in the Grass
I’m still working hard to get Justice Delivered in on time! But there is light at the end of the tunnel! I’m 139 pages from going through it and editing the first draft! I think I’ll make it. 🙂 My reading has slowed down since I often work until ten at night, but this past week, I read Stars in the Grass by Ann …
Cigarette Butts and Blood Type
Sunday afternoon I finished the first draft of Justice Delivered. Now, I have 17 days (counting March 1 when the manuscript is due) to edit. Whew. All the time I’m writing a first draft, I keep telling myself: “You can’t edit what you haven’t written.” These next few days will tell if rewriting is easier than writing. 🙂 Now for last week’s …
