Today my husband and I celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary. Nothing fancy, we had a steak dinner here at home. He gave me a loving card and he cooked dinner. What did I give him? Not much, though when I'm getting ready to go to school, work, or shopping--in other words, when I get ready to leave the house--I put on makeup, fix my hair and wear nice clothes. He always asks, "Who are you looking good for?" So, I did that for him. I got out of my lounge around the house clothes, showered, and spent hours on my hair and makeup just for him. It usually takes me 30 minutes to get ready to go anywhere, but I took my time just for him. He was gone to the store much of this time, and I'd planned to make a banner thing and a card for him, but he came back home too soon, and I didn't have time to do anything more.

Cerridwen Press has agreed to publish our newest anthology, titled: One Touch Beyond. This isn't a new anthology, it was previously titled: Shivers and Screams, Visions and Dreams. Besides the new title, it will have a new cover. My story, Get Out or Die! is my second Lana Malloy (Psychic PI) paranormal mystery. The release date will be announced at another time. Thank you for your support.

Enchanted Holidays is soon to be released in print, sometime between now and the end of December. This anthology was put together by six incredible authors. It includes 2 each of 3 different holidays, starting with Christmas, and then New Years and Valentine's Day. Put it on your holiday gift list for that book lover in your family. You can purchase it in downloadable formats right now at Cerridwen Press . Once it's release in print form, you'll be able to purchase it right off the shelf or by order at Borders, Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, etc. I will post an update once I know Enchanted Holidays is in print.

After being laid-off because my job was relocated to Honduras, I decided to take advantage of the government program allowing me to go back to college and get a degree. At the age of 50+, it’s going to be hard enough to get a job that pays well, especially without a degree. I have to admit it’s not as hard as I thought it was going to be. Let’s face it, my memory isn’t what it used to be and so I thought there was a good possibility it would be too hard. But so far, so good. I’m taking five courses, finished one (keyboarding) early, about 3 weeks ago and the semester ends December 17, 2007. But I’ve been typing for about 30 years off and on, and the last 20 years pretty steadily. I’m also taking Introduction to Computers, Text Editing and Formatting (another typing class), Expository Writing and Professional Development.
