I saved my Wednesday post for Thursday this week, because today is International Women's Day. While I'm not a women's libber or a women's rights activist (Not that there's anything wrong with those who are, in fact, if that's you, KUDOS! Keep it up!), I do believe women are special and contribute far more to… Continue reading International Women’s Day

My One Word
As the New Year approaches--much too quickly, I must add--I've been preparing for, and contemplating, my one word for 2018. My One Word is an experiment developed by Mike Ashcraft and Rachel Olsen to help people get past the disappointment of not being able to keep News Years Resolutions. I used to be one of… Continue reading My One Word
A Cozy Teatime
This past weekend I was one of six local authors to host a book event, A Cozy Teatime, (named for our love of cozy mysteries) at the local bookstore, Welcome to the Bookstore. As a child, bookstores were the portal into so many worlds to which I wished to travel, the pages of each book… Continue reading A Cozy Teatime
A Rich Abundant Life

Typically, when I get home from work in the evenings I long to stay in my home office with my computer, or at least within the walls of my home with my dogs and my husband. On weekends, I don’t venture… Continue reading A Rich Abundant Life

We create a date night with our spouse to keep the spark alive in the midst of daily chaos. As writers, we… Continue reading The Joy is in the Journey

CI – Jack Dancy
Jack Dancy is the third party in Melanie and Claire's circle in the Melanie Hogan cozy mysteries. Sit back, grab yourself a cold one, and get to know Jack. Can you provide the readers with a physical description of yourself? My heritage is half Asian from my father’s side and half Caucasian from my mother’s.… Continue reading CI – Jack Dancy
CI – Claire Davis
CI = Character Interview, not Confidential Informant. 🙂 Welcome to the world of Claire Davis, side-kick of Melanie Hogan in the Melanie Hogan Cozy Mysteries, and co-owner of Melanie's hair salon, A Cut Above. Can you provide a physical description of yourself? Hmmm…that’s kind of awkward. Let’s see…I’m taller than Melanie, but that doesn’t… Continue reading CI – Claire Davis
