One of my favorite authors liked a response I wrote on another favorite author’s Reader page. OMG One of my favorite authors liked my response! And responded thanking me! Me! OMG (takes a deep breath) I haven’t written here in weeks. I could blame long covid fatigue or brain fog, or a truly beastly cold,... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Three Times a Lady by Eileen Dreyer
Oh my. I absolutely love Eileen Dreyer's writing style, and Three Times a Lady is no exception. Pip and Beau's story grabbed me from the very start and I did not want to let go. Now, I have to admit, I did not read the first two books in this series. Normally, if I'm going... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Highlander in Her Bed by Sue-Ellen Welfonder
Mara and Alex's story in Highlander in Her Bed unfolds within rich and heartfelt descriptions of Scotland. The author's beautifully chosen words brought me back to times when I visited there and fell in love with the country. The book is filled with elements of fantasy (he is a ghost, after all). There were a... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Highland Echo by Willa Blair
Having read the first four books in the Highland Talents Heritage series by Willa Blair, I was ready for a good story. It was a great story. It was an on-the-edge-of-my-seat, oh-no-I-can't-read-further-but-can't-put-it-down and an oh-what-a-romance story. It was an I'm-sorry-it-ended-when-is-the-next-one story. It is important to note that Eilidh and Bhaltair's story stood beautifully on its... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Madness Through the Looking Glass by J.G. Sauer
When I realized this book was a sequel, I grabbed the first book: "New Year's Through the Looking Glass." It was so good I read it in two sittings and immediately jumped into "Madness Through the Looking Glass." What a great week of reading this was!Before I go any further, I highly recommend you pick...

Expiration Dates and a Dirty Knife
The company where my husband works, and where I once worked, had a layoff today. It was huge, it was difficult for all involved, and I was sure I had a grip on things. I reminded friends that were still there to take care of themselves. Doing their usual routine, eating well, and getting decent... Continue Reading →
The Blog Pause
I feel great! Well, mostly great. Definitely, the best I've felt in a while. I mentioned in a previous post that a few medical things popped up that needed attention. Most of them would have made it easy to keep my blog updated. Except for this one little black, blue, and purple thing in the... Continue Reading →
Empty Nest (ish)
One of the things those of us that are parents look forward to is when our children grow up and move out on their own. Going to college doesn’t count (in my book). Granted, there are many who are sad when their nest is empty. I get it. That wasn’t me. I looked on with... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Highland Spy by Madeline Martin
I like to start a new book slowly, one or two chapters at a time until I get halfway through and jump in feet first. Not this time. From the very beginning, Highland Spy caught my interest and did not let go. The only thing that kept me from reading every spare moment of the... Continue Reading →
Dueling with the Duke – A Review
My, that was a lot of energy packed into a novella! My curiosity was piqued by the description and the story truly delivered. Georgie and Adam are strong, independent characters that work perfectly together as the plot builds and intensifies. I even developed a soft spot for Georgie's late husband. You'll see what I mean when... Continue Reading →
