Tuesday night I had the rare and amazing opportunity to go see B.B. King. He was playing for the Lyceum Series at my local university. It’s not often you get to see him at all, and it’s rarer still that he gets to play in his home state. Talk about a proud Mississippian. It was […]
I’d like to introduce my lovely readers to a fellow writer from my hometown. Patricia Neely-Dorsey is author of Reflections of A Mississippi Magnolias: A Life In Poems. Like me, she has great interest in educating the masses about what Mississippi is really like. In her book, she celebrates the south and all things southern. […]
Over the weekend, DH and I got to talking about my current projects. I explained to him my logic for developing my readership over at Pots and Plots in order to eventually have a good platform to launch the first of the Edible Enchantments series, which does, of course, mean that I have to plot […]
Well it’s Friday, thank God. Not that it’s been a bad week by any means. It’s actually gone by pretty quickly and very well. I set a minimal goal of 2000 words this week, with the stipulation that I write something every day. Starting with Act 2 instead of at the very beginning, so far […]

Like many writers, I spend a great deal of time talking to myself. Well, that’s what it looks like to other people. I am often guilty of talking to my characters as if they are actually there. Sometimes I’m a character, and sometimes I’m just me. Still, it’s a quirk that writers can get away […]
Pot is campaigning for a potential change in location of my werewolf story from Germany (which I don’t know all that much about, and which thus gives me some other detail to obsess about, much as I often to with procedural crap when writing my more traditional FBI type tales) to the States. The logic […]
I think it’s time I admit that 2008 has been a transition year for me in my writing. I know it’s not New Year’s yet, but it’s something I’ve been thinking about today. 2007 was the year to get myself back into it and give my work the serious focus it deserved and to finish […]
