Halfway There

I hit the halfway point in Book 22 last night (release date – June 25). Because I tend to be highly goal-oriented, that’s one of those numbers that gets my blood pumping. So much has already happened in the story, yet there is so much

Spring is Springing

This afternoon I pulled down the cat tree that stood in the front window for the last few years. It’s been dying a slow and miserable death since the day I tripped and crashed into it, breaking the corner of a support. Stupid pressboard wood.

One More Week!

Trivia Night on the Bellingwood Facebook page was fun! We had more participants than ever before and y’all kept me on my toes. I’m a terrible multi-tasker – always trying to do several things at once. As I get older, those several things turn into

Words … All Messed Up

For as much as I adore the English language, I can butcher it with the best of them. It usually happens that just as I’m in the middle of saying something really dumb, I hear it in my head and at that point, I can

Today … Tomorrow

This week I’ve spent a great deal of time in my head. It’s not a bad place to be at all, especially when the time spent there is used for dreaming, planning, and setting goals for the next year. Those things finally made it to
