Blog postIf we were having coffee today I’d probably be mentioning book news. Well, there isn’t too much news. I’m hammering away at the fourth revision of my next novel. Pretty sure I got away with three on my last novel. But this time, I just wasn’t sure so I’m making another pass.
I use a technique called fast writing. By concentrating on word count, one chips away at the plot until an entire story develops. I find it quite creative as your mind is consumed -
Blog postIf we were having coffee today I’d be inclined to warn you about a new telephone scam that is making the rounds. This one is designed to prey upon helpless old people. They hope. It centers on the “new” Medicare card. I must be on some heavy hitters list because I get calls for this one almost every day.
I generally try to be polite on the phone. Even with telemarketers and scammers. This one is obviously a scam because it starts out by asking if the one -
Blog postIf we were having coffee today I’d say welcome back. Well, I’m the tardy one I guess. Sorry about that. Things always get a bit hectic during the holidays and I had other things going on as well. I’m working deep revisions on my next novel and that is taking up most of my writing time.
I hope your holidays were good. For the second year in a row, we hosted our family at a rental on the NC coast. I know, I know, holidays are for home and hearth, but after our pre -

Blog postDid you know Thanksgiving is in just a couple of days? While shopping, I am always amazed at the huge stacks of green beans and mushroom soup and of course fried onions. Did you ever wonder what people ate for Thanksgiving before this dish showed up? Read on for I one clue.
I’m here to tell you, I hate this “classic” green bean dish. I guess “hate” is a strong word. It’s not that it is bad, it’s just that it could be so much better. How do I know? When I got ma -
Blog postIf we were having coffee today I’d be talking about Thanksgiving. Here’s a little rerun for you, I’ve posted it a couple of times on another blog. In fact, I used to post this every year. It was a classic long before the Internet but it became one of the earliest most shared posts back in the early days. I hope you enjoy it. ================================== In olden times, long before the wide wide world of webs became popular, the ancient computer tribes followed somet

Blog postIf we were having coffee today I’d be mumbling something about NaNoWriMo. That’s National Novel Writing Month. Yes, that’s a thing. I would be mumbling because the only way I’ve found to successfully participate is by getting up earlier than I usually do. That will be alleviated somewhat by today’s Daylight Savings time transition.
NaNoWriMo is not just another celebratory month. The celebration is by doing. Participants actually try to write an entire no -

Blog postIf we were having coffee today I’d be lamenting the curse of twenty-nine.
“What is that?” you might ask.
I’d sigh and tell you about Amazon.
Twice in the past year or so my first novel has breached the number of twenty-nine reviews. Thirty looks so cool hanging out there on a book listing.
Ah, but twice, for unknown reasons, a review has been deemed unworthy by Amazon and the counter resets to 29. The interesting thing is, it isn’t necessaril -
Blog postIf we were having coffee today I’d admit I didn’t have much to talk about today until I read the lead-in WeekendCoffeeShare posting from EclecticAli.
Her 80’s Mystery Party reminded me of something. I always think of my first published novel this time of year. Virtually all of the action takes place from October through December, and it is set in 1980. I liked writing in the 80s. All this fancy technology we enjoy today was still in an infant state back then; t -
Blog postIt’s Autumn and you know what that means. No, I’m not talking about fall colors or Halloween or even Thanksgiving. I’m talking about BASEBALL.
I’m a lifelong Houston Astros fan. I grew up with the team. I’ve lived in North Carolina for twenty-nine years … still a die-hard Astros fan. Last year, finally finally finally they put it all together. And here we are again. The playoffs are full of ups and downs.
Baseball is a wickedly simple
