The words for Rosemary just keep piling up
So, another 2500 words on Rosemary today. This was a bit of a tough scene from a few days ago: A good thing as Lily was in sleep shorts and a T-shirt. She eased shut the door and took in a deep breath of the muggy air. She walked quietly to the railing and watched…

Rosemary, sequel to The Liaison, is coming right along
Well, I seem to be averaging 2500 words a day on Rosemary. This is the sequel (finally!) to The Liaison, my SF novel set in New Mexico. Now my characters have travelled to Bayou Lisse, Alabama and all kinds of drama has ensued. I’ll post a few excerpts soon. Here’s some of my inspiration: I’m…

Gosh, I hate moving!!
Looks like I might actually be able to return to normal life this week-writing and editing full time. Glad this nasty moving business is completed. The apartment that we lived in and absolutely loved, raised our rent $300 in one fell swoop and we had four days to decide to stay or move. Now, this…

I find this very interesting because early estimates predicted that the highly contagious…

Also, that their eyesight can be affected due to swelling of the optic nerve and various other abnormalities. While…

Happy and Healthy New Year
Let’s talk food, one of my favorite topics. After polishing off a large bowl of rice and beans, I started thinking about the health ramifications of eating this way, so I did a little online research. I’m a follower/supporter of Doctor John McDougal, have been for about six months (www.drmcdougall.com) for health reasons. He promotes…

So this happened
From: LesbianReadingRoom Woefully behind on my reviews and trying to catch up I want to recommend 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻 by Nat Burns. This is a really well written and well thought through science fiction story set in the reality of now, present-day New Mexico. Good twists in the plot, sympathetic main character and a concept just…
