Life after Lockdown
I will not bore you with yet another post on the Covid-19 pandemic or lockdowns, vaccines, masks, testing...You have probably read enough about it and more than likely have personal experiences with any of the many topics about it. I will share some positives about my experiences during the pandemic, and yes, there has been... Continue Reading →
We Don’t Need No Education
Actually, we do. Or more precisely, I do. I was able to re-enroll at Eastern Michigan University (left in 2008 to care for my mom) for the 2020 summer semester. You would not believe the hoops I had to go through to be able to go back. Since I left without officially withdrawing, I was... Continue Reading →

I have my beta readers all lined up as well, along with questions for them to answer. I... Continue Reading →
Trigger Warning
I’m about to break a rule and kinda-sorta talk politics. But it’s for a good reason. There was a post that came up on a FB Writer’s Group that I belong to that really stirred the pot. But the OP wasn’t doing it on purpose. It was a simple post asking for advice about a... Continue Reading →
