Greetings from Santa Fe!
Hey Friends & Readers! Bill and I made it safely to Santa Fe, where we’ll be spending time writing and reading during June.

It’s Not All Business
Hello Readers: The Texas spring rains are watering the bluebonnets. It’s been a gloomy couple of days, but before we know it we’ll be “sweatin’ like a sinner in church” as Betty would say.

Texas Bluebonnets and Faraway Readers

Spring Travels!
Whew! I’ve been a busy author since you last heard from me. It’s great fun for Bill and I that our new normal, at least for the next couple of weeks, is traveling and spending our days on the road meeting readers and signing books. Our home-base is Austin and we’ve been launching from there […]
