Actually, Book 7, the Pink line, arrived in El Paso quite some time ago, around the same time as the Brown and Teal lines, but I forgot to post its arrival, mainly because it has been so quiet I think it might be doing a little sightseeing before settling down to be read. To give you a visual of something … Read More

Happy Thanksgiving

Just a quick little post to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a very special time because it allows us all the opportunity to review our lives and realize all of the wonderful things which we have been given.

Death of the Book – Not Yet

Being an author, I love books, although it seems somewhat axiomatic to say so. I enjoy holding them in my hands, turning the pages and diving into the world that the writer has created for us. That being said, with the advent of e-book readers the world of books as we know it is changing. There may, one day, be … Read More

California On Fire

I had an appointment that I had to go to at noon today, and the smell of smoke was almost overpowering as I stepped outside my house.

Acai Berry – Snake Oil or Superfood

Yesterday as I was surfing the net, I decided to pop Acai Berry into the search box.

I’ve decided … Read More

WITW is MMC? – Norfolk, VA

Once again, not being patient enough to wait, when I heard that Book 8 had arrived in Butler, NJ, I figured that the copy traveling to Norfolk, VA must also have arrived.  This time I had a cohort right by my side kibitzing, and pushing as to whether we should confirm that Misfit McCabe Book 6 (the Teal Line).  It … Read More
