Blog postAfter many decades of tent camping, we just made the plunge and bought a little popup camper trailer. When we tell our friends (not the ones we usually tent camp with — all the other friends), the first comment we hear is always, “So, you got tired of sleeping on the ground.”
Nope. That’s not it. We enjoy sleeping in a tent. We’ve found comfortable sleeping pads and have bags that keep us cozy. We often sleep better in a tent than at home. That’s probably because we’ve been active all -
Blog postIt happens on Facebook nearly every day. Someone posts a meme (like the one above) implying that they are quoting a well-known person about some topic relevant to today’s issues. The Pope says we don’t have to believe in God (no, he didn’t say that). Or people share a fake news story and we see it so often that some people start believing it’s true. Sorry, folks, but the world’s first successful head transplant did not take place.
Some websites intermix real news with the fake stuff. -
Blog postWe read a lot. The hours many people spend watching television in the evenings we spend reading. Even when we’re out climbing, hiking, and camping, after dinner you’ll often find us in our tent (or soon, our little popup camper!) reading until we get too sleepy.
I thought I’d pass along a few of the titles we’ve especially enjoyed recently along with my comments. I figure you can read the blurb for each one by checking out the books on Amazon, so I won’t repeat them here.

Blog postI’ve been smiling more than usual this week. One of the challenges of getting a book to be noticed among the millions that are published is to get reviews — preferably good ones, but even a “meh” review can add to the credibility of the comments posted on a site like Amazon.
One valuable asset for a book is a detailed review by an independent source such as a book blogger. Because book reviewers are often flooded with requests for reviews, simply getting one of them to select my -
Blog postTo celebrate the release of The Daughters’ Baggage, we’re giving away an autographed copy of the novel AND a very cool and functional duffle bag (baggage — get it?). Here’s how to earn entries to the random drawing starting 2/27/16:

Blog postI awoke this morning with much of this short, short story running through my head, remnants of a dream. ~ Diane Winger
I open my eyes and stare at the closet door, disoriented for a moment, still shaking off the vague remnants of a dream already faded from memory. Blinking a few times, our bedroom seems to reconstruct before my eyes, everything finally snapping into place just as it should be.
What time is it? I roll over and frown at the clock display. 8:16. I nev -

Blog postPeter Pan
When I was a kid, there were several TV broadcasts of Peter Pan that I watched with great enthusiasm. After doing a little research on Wikipedia, I figure I saw the production when I was 8, 11, and 14 years old. I found the show delightful at 8 and 11, but when I watched it again at 14, I was devastated with the realization that I was growing up and would never be a child again. Remember Peter Pan refusing to grow up and how Wendy understood she was at the cusp of becoming t -
Blog postCover concept and possible title
When I sat down to write my first novel, Faces, I kept a tight grip on the advice to “write about what you know.” The main character was a software developer, enjoyed rock climbing, lived in Denver, and had acquired prosopagnosia (face blindness that begins following some sort of brain injury). I am a retired software developer, enjoy rock climbing, grew up in Denver, and have developmental prosopagnosia (face blindness that I may have had since b -

Blog postWhile we’re bombarded with ads and online messages to see how much we can spend and how quickly we can spend it on Black Friday, Charlie & I fall back on our own tradition of planning to stay as far from a shopping mall or even an online sale as possible. Depending on weather conditions, we may go cross-country skiing or take a hike or strap on our snowshoes and explore a trail.
We applaud companies like REI which is urging people to #OptOutside this holiday weekend. Not only are -
Blog postSometimes I fantasize about eliminating the words “us” and “them” from every language on Earth, and what it would mean for bringing about peace and understanding. I know. We’d immediately invent new words to differentiate between “our” tribe and those other, lesser people. Based on evidence of language throughout history and cultures for describing the group of people we consider that we belong with vs. the derogatory names for people we exclude from our group, this whole categorizing thing s
