But I am cooking up something for my newsletter readers, something very special for my December edition. As I did the research for that surprise, I found cookie after cookie recipe I wanted to try.

Introducing The Color of Light

The Color of Light hi-res for websiteWhat a busy week. Family arrived for the Fourth of July, and some of them stayed the whole week, including three year old Liam.

How Skilled Are We at Choosing a Mate?

The three major characters in No River Too Wide are not as diverse as they first appear.

Choosing a mate can be dangerousWhile they are varied in age and outlook on life, Harmony, Jan and Taylor have one major thing in common. Each woman is examining exactly what she looks for or looked for when choosing a man to love.
