Welcome

When my divorce was final several hundred years ago, I promised myself as a bit of divorce therapy that I would do something once a week that I’d never done before. The list of such items was staggering, so I knew I’d never run out of material. I started simply; I learned how to back into the garage with courage. Forever, I’d longed to position the car so I could pull straight out into the new day, but my husband couldn’t see it. Well, he wasn’t there anymore, was he? And I flew a plane, rode an elephant, joined a motorcycle club. Eventually wrote a book.

And now I’ve started a website. I have no idea how it will develop—but that’s the theme, isn’t it? To try something new. To change your life. To dare!

My Big Dare was to marry a wonderful man I met on the internet and move to a new state. Best thing I ever did. But it took leaping out into space, hoping for wings.

I hope you’ll take a chance on me and sign up for news of future books and possible newsletters.  HINT: Watch for a late fall release of two short stories in the Wild Rose Press Christmas Cookie series: “Fortune Cookie Christmas” and my first mystery, “Nutcracker Nibbles Case.”

And watch for more This ‘n That from me here. I’ll be watching for you.

To get to any group, one climbs a volcano. The…
