I am currently writing my nineteenth story for Kindle Vella.  It is a sad story, with a bit of myself hidden between the lines.  

I was never a hippy, and I did not attend Woodstock or do illegal drugs, but I was a child coming of age in the 1960's. I may have added the beads and the flower in my hair if I wasn't afraid of my parents.  They were strict and fair.  I was an only child and they had me late in life.  Mom was 34 and dad was 37.  In 1951 that was out of the ordinary. I was spoiled, and I knew it.  I thanked them by respecting the boundaries they set for me. 

My writing lets me take a character like Cora, and lock her away from reality. Cora is a hippy in her eighties, the only thing she gave up is the drugs, and of course sex. She is alone and content with her life..... Until............... one day, she receives a package intended for someone else, and her life opens up for the first time in years. It is a work in progress,  you can read the first three episodes for free, and the additional episodes, (I usually have 10  to 12 to complete a story) are  6 to 8 cents each.  An inexpensive way to read stories.  

Stop by and check our my stories, I am proud of my characters, and I enjoy letting them tell me what happens next.  

Until the next time, create and enjoy your life.

 Change is Constant As the heat continues in North Carolina, United States, and other parts of the world, my thought are looking to the future. Not the future of the world, I am not that philosophical.  I am not the person that get upset when summer ends. I would rather be warm than cold, but I would rather be a tad bit chilly and have to put a sweater on, than to be a bit warm.  Do you follow that logic?  i am longing for the day of pumpkin spice lattes and cider doughnuts.    As the fall season slowly approaches these words come to mine.  Back in the 1960's, I enjoyed the song, Turn, Turn, Turn by the Byrds, written by Pete Seeger. When I discovered where the lyrics came from I enjoyed the song even more.   Ecclesiastes 3    King James Version   To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is plant...

  I enjoyed writing my first book.  I didn't make a lot of money, but I was proud of myself.  I was on Amazon.com, Kindle, and paperback. I bought a copy of each for myself. I didn't care if the money wasn't flowing in, I was hooked on writing. I wanted my next book to be for older children. The illustrations in the first book were beautiful, but it raises the cost of printing.  My next book would have a few pencil sketches just to give the reader something to focus on.   I wanted the book to be affordable to everyone.  Times With Terry , I don't want to be here, was created.  My good friend Marla Banta drew the sketches and I had my second book on Amazon.  Things were changing for me.  I was ready to write my next book.  Terry had  unfinished business, so I thought I should go back to her character and continue her story. Times With Terry , I know what I have to do was born.  If you thought about writing, painting, or if ...

Did I tell you?  I thought I did.... 💭 No?  👎 Okay,  I will tell you now. I am a Toastmaster.🗣  Have you heard of Toastmasters?  I had no idea what it was, I just followed a Meet-up post I saw on line. I knew where I was going, the meeting was in a nursing home I drove past every day. I entered the door, signed in and followed the signs with arrows; right, left, bare left, right, and there it was.  The door to the Toastmasters meeting.  I was debating if I should enter the room, and I decided to go in.  How bad could it be? If I don't like it, I will not leave, I just will not return.   I was welcomed by all the members, and I felt comfortable from the start.  When it came to the first prepared speech, the Toastmaster presented a rendition of "The Glass Managree." She was amazing. BUT: I said to myself, if I have to do that, I am out of here.  The next speech was a story type and I relaxed.   I returned the next week, and I...
