Weird Week

As I sit here typing this latest blog post, I'm reflecting on the past week or two. It has been....crazy. So many very strange things have occurred in the past two weeks, that I'm not sure how to make heads or tails of it. Now, I don't mean strange like poltergeist-in-the-house strange. I mean, weird for even me. 


Without boring you with all the details (and to make a very long story short) I picked the WRONG week to give up smoking! 

And talk about bad luck- my husband had a flat tire on the side of the road. The jack wasn't tall enough to fit his jacked-up truck, so he gets our son to bring him one, who runs out of gas- right there on the spot. Then a buddy of ours recognizes our vehicles and stops to help- and needs a jump! Man, oh, man. 


And apparently, I've managed to piss some people off by doing nothing more than having a FaceBook page and sharing stuff. Which is set to private, by the way, so I have no clue how they saw it anyway. I'm starting to remember why I love animals more than people. 

And speaking of animals- Etowah Valley Humane Society had a goal for this year of adopting out 2000 animals. We have already met that! And it's only October! :) I'm so happy for all of our furbabies that are in loving homes and starting new lives! Whenever we adopt one out, it's really like saving two lives, because we can pull another one from animal control. 

The upside to the past week or so is that I have met some really great people in the "author" world. I don't know what it is, but every writer I have met thus far has been really cool. A couple of them have become my very good friends. I certainly am Blessed, that's for sure. :)


Be sure to stay tuned to this blog, as VERY soon I will have a surprise for you! I am starting to do interviews here, so that you can get to know some of the authors that I was talking about above. To keep things simple, I will always ask them the same questions, and will always implement links to their sites, books, etc. 

So, in closing, I'd like to raise my glass and say, "here's to better days ahead" and also that no, I did not quit smoking. Are you insane? With that kind of a week? 

Until next time, when we meet our lovely guest author, Sharon. Peace and love to ya! 

Rodeo Time!

Well, hello there, world! Been a busy one here in the Land of Podunkville! Ya know, for a small town, we sure got a lot goin' on! The local Rodeo is tonight, and that's a pretty big deal here. It's a full show, complete with with steer ropin', barrel racin', cow milkin' and bull ridin'. 

I've been working on a new book, as well as the other two I still have in the works. The new one is a non-fiction, which seems to come a lot easier to me than fiction. I don't know why. I can write fiction okay, but all of my ideas and such come flooding out at such a pace that I can't seem to keep up sometimes. And we certainly can't have simultaneous action scenes going on so that they get mixed up now, can we? 

So, Maters, Taters & Grits seems to be doing okay as far as sales. Of course, they could be better, but as long as it's moving at all, I'm good! And Rhymes from Darker Times, well, it' still too early to tell. I hope it does well. :) I have had a lot of positive feedback from local folk on both of them. I will be at a local show called Bow Wow Meow Festival in August. I'll have both books on hand and will be signing them! So, if'n ya take a notion, and you're in the area, stop by and pick up a copy! I'd love to chat with ya a minute! 

Remember, you can check out either book on Amazon! And the simplest way to find any of my work is here. 

Here's hoping all of y'all have a fantastic weekend! Keep that positive attitude, and keep smiling!
