So in further explanation from the brief mention of Camp NaNo in last week's post, what exactly is Camp NaNo? It can be summed up in two words: Fun Challenge! Camp NaNoWriMo is a spinoff from November's NaNoWriMo where participants from all over the world strive to write 50,000 words in the month of November.… Continue reading Camp NaNoWriMo

Nature’s Brilliance, Week 2
Sometimes there are just no words to adequately describe the beauty. Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. ― Ralph Waldo Emerson
Brilliant Bursts of Nature
I explored the beautiful gems of summer hidden in nature this past week. The next four weeks I'll be sharing the brilliant bursts of nature I discovered. I hope you enjoy! Munsinger Gardens in St. Cloud, Minnesota. An exquisite fountain, again at Munsinger Gardens. All that's left of my grandparents' farm where I spent nearly… Continue reading Brilliant Bursts of Nature
Unique Boulder
We had family visiting from Minnesota this past week. With all the snow Minnesota has had this spring, my husband and I thought we would treat them to new sites. And the sites don't get any better--or crazier--than Boulder, Colorado. In fact, Boulder is like it's own little state. Comments like "Only in Boulder," "That's… Continue reading Unique Boulder

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.

This morning as I was running around Lake Estes in beautiful Estes Park, Colorado, my thoughts circled around who I am today, who I was, and who I want to be. Thank God--literally--that I'm not who I was, that I'm finally comfortable… Continue reading The Company We Keep

Development of the Melanie Hogan Cozy Mysteries
I’m often asked by my readers, “How do you come up with your ideas?” To which I chuckle and joke, “My mind is a scary place.” Okay, so maybe I’m not joking. Not completely, anyway. But since I write cozy mysteries and suspense, both that contain “clean” romance, I think I’ll pass my mother’s inspection.… Continue reading Development of the Melanie Hogan Cozy Mysteries
T.G.I.F. – On Saturday
I'm a little late but didn't want to let this post slip through the cracks. There's so much to be grateful for that it seems a shame not to express it openly. My top three for the past week: 3.) Being a Minnesota girl, now living in Colorado for 17 years, going to the Minnesota… Continue reading T.G.I.F. – On Saturday
