I finally finished the first pass at Love, Lies, and Loss Across Two Continents. Ethel is dead since that pretty much ends her story. Yes I know it happened in 1938, but I’ve taken her from birth to death, so it kind of feels new to me. It’s a weird author thing… This is a…

I have to say that I worked pretty hard before we left for the Turks and Caicos, but once we landed I could feel the island vibes. Gorgeous turquoise waters, white sands, warm breezes, and rum punches were waiting! It was wonderful being back at Grace Bay on Providenciales (everyone calls it Provo for short).  I…

It seems that no matter how hard I try to get back to writing I get interrupted. First, the battle of the flu. I seem to get better then I go back–mostly just tire easily. This week is better, but am still sluggish. Next up came the travel plans. I’m a pretty savvy travel planner–almost…

I got back from a trip to Denver on Saturday and ended up with tonsillitis and likely the flu. Despite that, I am still working on Ethel. She really wants her story told!   I’ve been enjoying reading through and looking at all the documents I’ve collected. My cousin and I took a trip to…

It’s been a while since I’ve written a blog, but with the creation of my new website, I’ve decided to start up again. No promises on how often it will be, but my goal is once a week. I’ve pushed so hard over the last few months to meet multiple deadlines so I’m taking the…
