I was looking at my Wine Spectator magazine a few days ago, and while perusing the advertisements had a thought—scary, huh? I actually thought it pretty good. Instead of using milk cartons to post pictures of missing kids, why not use wine bottles? [Read more…] about New Use For Wine Bottles
If you are following me on FaceBook you may already know that Promises Kept is now available on Kindle, but I want to remind everyone here as well. Although I love my Kindle and use it when I travel, I still like to hold those pages in my hands when I am home. [Read more…] about Promises Kept Available on Kindle

To miss the path, to go astray
To wander blindly in the night
But searching, praying for the light
Until at last we find the way…

Immediately the authorities found Patrick in Indiana and questioned him about Sue’s disappearance. His coaches and teammates said it wasn’t possible that he had anything to do with her disappearance since he was playing in a pre-season non-conference tournament the day she was discovered missing as well as the day before and the day after.

Remember my friend the moonshiner who built the still that I featured in Half Moon Vodka? Well, I am proud to say that he is now a successful entrepreneur—and in this day and time with the economy as it is, new businesses are important!!!
Actually, his is more like a charity for starving and thirsty writers, and other such friends. See, if he sold it, he would be a bootlegger, but this guy has a certain pride, which doesn’t allow him to sink to that level. “Moon shining” is such a higher calling. Notice, if you can, this particular bottle of shine was handmade especially for me. Of course, he assured me he never releases a bottle without trying it, and somehow I believe him.
Why don’t you let me know what your hidden talents are or if you have a special interest or hobby? I have a T-shirt that says, “Be careful what you tell me, you might be in the next novel.” Wouldn’t that be fun??
I hope all of you guys reading this had a wonderful Father’s Day. I remember when it was special for me to remember my dad with a gift and a hug, but this marks the twelfth year that he has been gone. More than anyone else in the world he influenced my writing through encouragement and example. [Read more…] about The One Person Who Influenced My Writing

As Alice was leaving to help Sue with the baby, she looked at her watch. At 8:15 she knew she was running late, but she stopped to answer the ringing phone. Her mother-in-law was just calling to say hello and invite her to lunch on Thursday, something she had continued to do even when Dwayne had moved out. Often her mother-in-law had shared her feelings about the young couple’s relationship and always she reminded Alice that she loved her like a daughter.
“I was just getting ready to walk out the door. I’m on my way to hold my new niece again. I’m so excited. She is beautiful. She looks a lot like Sue I think; only she has his eyes.” [Read more…] about Keeping Faith Chapter 6
