I feel your pain. https://youtube.com/shorts/X9S2KlIC4Bo?si=CFNrm_Mm-5Bs275f I have a YouTube channel where I share a great many Pippa shorts, as well as other things. I just wanted to share this one with my blog readers today. I’ve had a rough couple of busy-butt days, but I wanted to post SOMETHING. Enjoy!

Sharing my excitement
[Apologies, all. I apparently tossed away a year, by putting 2026 instead of 2025 in all the book signing dates listed below. I have adjusted them now. One wonders where one’s head has wandered off to, for sure!] I know I post about upcoming events on my News and Events page, but I figured I’dContinueContinue reading “Sharing my excitement”
Review – River Bodies by Karen Katchur
(Note: I just realized I hadn’t finished this review. When I saw the date of the draft, I knew why. It was shortly after I began this review that my life changed following a frightening, horrible motor vehicle accident. However, more than five years later, I’m happy to get on with it–the review, I mean.ContinueContinue reading “Review – River Bodies by Karen Katchur”
Christmas in July, anyone?
Christmas in July. Some folks scoff at it, but those of us who recognize the early draw to the upcoming holidays revel in these days when we start readying for and looking ahead to the Christmas season—despite the awful heat. Stores take advantage of “Christmas in July” by touting sales, but what we early birdsContinueContinue reading “Christmas in July, anyone?”
Celebration!
July 14th is the third anniversary of the first book’s release in the Shadow Journey series. The Shadows We Make made its debut on that day. I can’t believe it’s been three years since this journey (no pun intended) began! Since then, The Thrice-Gifted Child, The Sleeping Myth, and the fourth and final book, InContinueContinue reading “Celebration!”
Christmas thoughts in May
Anyone who’s read less than half my blogs will still recognize how much I love the Christmas holidays. It’s May now. May 22nd, to be exact, and the temperature at 12:06 is still 49 degrees. I’m debating with myself as my fingers grow chill and I put tights on under my sweats, whether I shouldContinueContinue reading “Christmas thoughts in May”

Thought for the Day
Oh, yes! (Thanks for the affirmation, whoever posted this on FB.)
Pirates and Thieves
We, as writers, have it tough enough. Depending on the writing we do, we work for hours, days, even years to bring to light a single article, screenplay, book. Only to have them stolen by piracy sites like LibGen and others. And now of course, Mark Zuckerberg (for Meta), is the most recent subject ofContinueContinue reading “Pirates and Thieves”
A Tisket, a Tasket, a…
Not a green and yellow basket (although you might find one in a thrift store), but many basket ideas! I’ve been, as usual, behind on my posting, but I came across this great article and thought I’d share it 🙂 (use the embedded link beneath the photo below).
