Coming soon!

Welcome, y’all! I’ve been a bit busy lately. Nothing exciting, just busy. I have two upcoming short story releases. Georgie Powers is back in a new G. Powers P.I. case called ‘Missing Gem’. It will appear in the 4th Sisters in Crime North Dallas… Continue Reading “Coming soon!”

Accountability Help

Happy Monday, all! It’s been a minute since I last wrote. What can I say…my life is kind of boring. I am launching a Substack page that will focus on my occupational therapy career, in addition to my writing career. Maybe someday, it’ll actually… Continue Reading “Accountability Help”

Rough Couple of Weeks

Hey, y’all! Still alive here. Just hanging on by my fingernails. As an occupational therapist, it’s always a challenge to schedule around holidays or vacations. There are rarely any opportunities for someone to cover my patients during time off. Typically, I have to cram… Continue Reading “Rough Couple of Weeks”

Coming Soon to a Bookshelf Near You!

Coming…Today! I’m in fine company with the Sisters in Crime North Dallas 3rd volume of short stories, Notorious in North Texas. My 1940s noir, A Vague Threat, is the origin story of my short story series, The Case Files of G. Powers P.I., a… Continue Reading “Coming Soon to a Bookshelf Near You!”

Texas Springtime

Spring has sprung in North Texas, and along with it comes allergy season. Actually, allergy season is year-round here, but it’s especially bad during this time of year. Everything is blooming.

Winter–Texas Style

Texas has what I call “pogo-stick” weather. One day, we have temperatures in the 70s, the next, temps are in the 30s. Those are the highs. The lows can vary from around 10 degrees Fahrenheit to the 40s. There are some days when you… Continue Reading “Winter–Texas Style”

Out with 2023, In with 2024

Another year, another opportunity to figure out what I’m doing. Like many, I have seen my fair share of ups and downs over the past few years. The biggest up of the year was my two-year-old granddaughter becoming a big sister. In addition to… Continue Reading “Out with 2023, In with 2024”

Just Another Insane Year

I’ve done the math–in 2023, I have held six jobs, left two, am leaving one at the end of the year but possibly adding another, and one of them rarely calls me in to work. I’ve worked with five documentation platforms (one platform in… Continue Reading “Just Another Insane Year”
