Great Time in Houston!

Posted Apr 22 2012

Had a wonderful time at the Texas Library Association conference in Houston last week!  Who says librarians are stuffy?  I found this group to be full of open minded people who want to keep information, resources, and books available to their patrons – a critical job in a free and democratic society.  Thank you, librarians!  Also got to […]

Delightful Day in Derby!

Posted Apr 16 2012

I had a wonderful time Saturday in Derby, Kansas!  Met lots of great folks, including this mother-daughter pair.  Do I have the best-looking fans or what?  The staff at the Derby library were very welcoming and gracious hosts.  I appreciate all their work on the event!  As an added bonus, they took me to the […]

Tornado Damage

Posted Apr 5 2012

Lots of damage but no fatalities.  Phew!  Very weird to see a duplex that a good friend of mine lived in a couple of years ago with roof damage.  Glad she’s moved since then!

Great Plays!

Posted Feb 21 2012

Saw two great plays in the last week.  The first was “Dixie’s Tupperware Party.”  It was an actual tupperware party hosted by a drag queen in heels and apron.  It was raunchy, irreverent, and politically incorrect – in other words, hilarious!  The other was “The Sports Page” at Stage West in Fort Worth.  If you […]

Haha! Our terrier mix and shepherd mix are certainly selective, too. They hear "treat" without fail, but "down" or "no!" don't always register. Raggs is such a cute name!

Reggie certainly looks happy! My own dog, Raggs, has "selective" hearing--and he's not well trained. But. Our dogs are family and we do love them.

Thanks, Barbara! I wish I could write faster, too! My ideas are backing up in my head. : ) I wish my brain had a USB port where I could automatically download the stories from my mind to the page. I'm so glad you enjoyed the book! I'm hard at work on the second one, A Trip with Trouble.

I LOVED getaway with Murder. The second book can't be published soon enough. Can you write any faster? ;-)
