It’s February 27th, 2019 when I’m writing this. I’m inside recouping from the recent blizzard. In the last few days, I’ve moved just under a foot of snow with the help of the Webguy and the Red Pen. The object of our endeavor was to get as much off the drive before the Beta Reader packed it down with his tires leaving for work. We’ve had 91.2 inches of snow this winter season, and today it’s looking like we will be getting six more. It’s beautiful when it’s falling. On each side of the house, it swirls in snow eddies. On the southside, where the large trees protect us, it falls straight down. On the northside, it slams our house and my office window with such attitude that I suspect it’s somehow related to me.

Hello all!
I haven’t disappeared. All is well. We’re just busy working on getting the next book ready for publication. Sideshow, Book #26 of the Haunted Series, is in the final edit before the Beta Reader gets it. The new Cid Garrett P.I. book The Promise is scheduled for editing in March. I’d love to give you exact release dates, but I don’t want to tempt fate. The fates and I have an agreement: I stay on my side of the universe and they stay on theirs.
Read MoreFirst Time Seeing a Ghost
When was the first time you saw a ghost? I’ve been asked this question a few times. I took some time and thought about it this morning. I set aside the encounters I’ve had as an adult and thought back to my childhood. I had to access my memory vault – it’s actually a moldy cardboard Keds box tucked under the stairs of my mind house – and found this:
My earliest memory is of me waking in the night. A shaft of moonlight streamed in from the from one the high windows of our corner bedroom in the ranch home where I spent my childhood. It illuminated a tall white mass in the corner by the large chest of drawers between me and the door. My parents’ room was just across the hall. I knew if I could just get to my mother, all would be well. But how to get there unnoticed by the ghost? If I stood up, my four-year-old body surely would have been noticed, so I slipped down to the floor from my bottom bunk of the trundle bed set I shared with my older sister.

Here we are approaching the new year! Many of us are looking forward to 2019, and the rest of us are looking back. (If you are looking forward and backwards at the same time, you have a talent that needs explaining.)
I’d like to mention all my “last” things of 2018.

I don’t know about you, but this time of year can be tough to manage. I’m not talking just financially but timewise. I have a book in editing, another one in process, and I have this long list of tasks to perform to get ready for the holidays.
Read MoreNovember 2018 Update
Sorry I’ve been out of touch, but I have been busy writing the 26th book of the Haunted Series. It’s called Sideshow.
I went to bed last night knowing I was one chapter from being finished with my first draft. Naturally, I dreamed about Sideshow as my subconscious continued to work on finishing the book while I slept. I woke up early, too early, but it was either be entertained by a power-craving inner librarian or get up and write. I chose to write.
I sat, predawn, and stared as the cursor continued to blink on a white screen while I waited for the coffee to work on my caffeine-starved brain. Where do I go with this? I decided to read the last five chapters, and then Chapter Forty-five flowed out of me. The first draft of Sideshow is finished! Woo Hoo!
