A musing
Thoughts on aging I am old but it pisses me off… makes my blood boil… grinds on me… is a rude awakening when people treat me like I’m old. Even worse, I recall treating old people the same – or worse – when I…

Change is challenging
I posted this about two years ago and – with a few updates – I think it is worth repeating. Although WordPress has been more of a challenge than I anticipated, I’m glad I switched. An important lesson I’ve learned is that you can…

In the valley
Why does today have to hurt so much? Don’t say you’ve never been there. We all have days we don’t think we’ll make it through breakfast much less through the rest of the day. To deny our hurt, loneliness, pain, isolation, anger, discontent or…

I am old, but that’s okay
Every once in a while I catch my reflection in a store window and am puzzled by the stranger looking back at me. Yes, I do look at my reflection every day when I’m putting on makeup, but that’s different, that’s a feature by…

The journey continues
Because it took a while to write my latest book –Thunder Prime, Hunter’s Light – you might think the process was a real drag. SO not so. Part of the problem was a tendency to go down divergent paths that complicated a basically simple story. I don’t think I’ll write another Thunder Prime novel, but in Hunter’s Light, there are a couple of characters with their own stories to tell. We shall see.
Between Bawdy McClure and Hunter’s Light, I published two novels – Finding Family and Blind Curve – and two chap books of poetry. In other words, I have not been idle, I’ve just had a dickens of a time focusing. For quite a while I wrote with some frequency on One Roof Publishing, also my author website, consequently the actual NAME of the site, but for the last three months I’ve been doing other things. Now it’s time to do the thing I most want to do, write and publish.
I’m reminded regularly that it’s a no-no to ask people to buy my books. The blogging gurus say to provide worthwhile content that serves the greater good. I don’t mind that, but guess what, I’m a writer. The only way I am compensated for my work, is when you buy my books. So, please, buy my books.
