I'm Back!

Been a long time since I've been on line. Haven't done much writing recently, but with the advent of fall just around the corner, my writing spirit is beginning to return. Stay tuned.  Thanks.

Back Home Safely

My trip back home to WI turned out uneventful. I did not even witness or see one accident which is quite unusual for a 1,300-mile trip. And my month's holiday in FL turned out to be very productive. At least the characters in my mystery thought so. I even enjoyed some time having lunch with friends and family. 

Until next time...

2013 Trip to Florida

Yes, I'm back down in Florida for the entire month of February to continue to write my mystery, Murder by Multiple Choice---my working title, to walk to improve my health, and to soak in all the sun that Florida offers. The amount of Vitamin D one can soak in too never hurt anyone to my knowledge! The month is, indeed, not long enough; however, it is just the impetus I needed to write more.

As you can see, I've redesigned my blog to accommodate my novel, Never Give Up.

Until the next post.

Back Again After a Long Hiatus

After nursing a bad back for way too long, I am finally back and once again working on my mystery which is moving along quite nicely. After suffering three herniated discs, going through therapy, and following the exercise regimen religiously, I was able to heal my back completely. So back to the manuscript with full force.

I expect to work much of the day, everyday, when I once again take my yearly trip to Florida to spend the month of February in the warmth. It feels so great to walk twice a day. The fresh air contributes to better writing for sure. What could be better.

Great Summer Reading

Just finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Once I sorted out the myriad characters, both major and minor, it was an enjoyable read, right to the end.

Now I'm reading Dominance by Will Lavender, a thriller. So far, it's a fascinating read.

A Beautiful Creature, Indeed!


When I took my morning walk in the woods surrounding our home, the beautiful creature you see here visited me. The first morning, when I took a rest and sat in a lawn chair along one of the paths, I heard a soft noise. I turned and saw him. Apparently, he wanted to get my attention. The third morning, I took my camera with me and this is what I got. He was no more than 6 feet from me in a tree on the lowest branch, looking straight down at me. What a beauty!

Working Title for Mystery---Murder By Multiple Choice

Am working on my next book---a mystery. The working title Murder By Multiple Choice has been helping me to stay focused. Also watching the Casey Anthony trial when I can has also led me in profitable directions.

Again thanks to all of you for downloading the Kindle version as well as purchasing the paperback edition from Amazon of my first published novel, Never Give Up.
