Music Tells My Stories

Good morning, my Lovelies! So, I’m going to cut through the crap and get right to this. (Not that I don’t hope you’ve had a wonderful week because I do, I promise.) Today the entirety of Delmarva woke up to a thick blanket of fog. (The photo below is very mild compared to what I drove through most of the way to work.) Actually, there has been some amount of fog every morning this week, but today was by far the worst. It surrounded my truck with a suffocating wall and made my anxiety spike. I had the thought that trying to see through the fog and find a clear path is a decent parallel to how my life is feeling right now. Then I thought, no, that isn’t exactly correct, either. You see, right now I feel as if even with the lifting of the metaphorical fog in my life, I still wouldn’t know which path to follow. It is incredibly frustrating to me to not be able to just do what I want to do. Right now, the only thing I know is that I’m going to have to make some changes and they are going

Good morning, my Lovelies, and happy Saturday! I hope you've had a good week and that you get the rest and relaxation you deserve this weekend. I've had another one of those "I have no idea what I want to talk about in my blog" kind of weeks. I wonder why there are times that this flows so easily and why there are times that I struggle to form a single thought? Whatever the reason, here I am struggling to find my topic. Maybe I don't really need a topic? Maybe getting on here and rambling will somehow make my words form and my train of thought connect? Or not...as I sit and stare at the blinking cursor that is taunting me, laughing at me, knowing that my synapses aren't sparking yet this morning. No. I definitely need a topic. How about one we've visited before? This week I made a post that was sparked by a conversation I had about my books. You see, I've been told several times now that there is too much sex in my books. Now, obviously, my writing and

Good afternoon, my Lovelies! I hope with all my heart that you have had a wonderful and fun-filled week. I don't think I've said it recently and I don't think I can say it enough, but thank you to each and every one of you who follow me and all my insanity. Your support is appreciated more than you will ever know! I have news! Many of you will be excited by this as I know you've been waiting and waiting and waiting. Mostly because I kept promising and promising and promising, and well? Shit does and did happen. Anyway, what's my news? I finally (whoooo!) got Across the Field, book four in the Cassidy Brothers series, back from my editor! What does that mean? It means it won't be long now until I can publish this little jewel and get it into your hands! I do have some cleanup to do on my story. (Was it or was it not a good idea having an editor who is a huge baseball fan and baseball history buff, editing a baseball romance book? The jury is still out.) He called

Good morning, my Lovelies! I hope that life has treated you kindly, that you've found something to be happy about, and that you've been the reason that someone has smiled this week. All things considered, this has definitely been a better week for me mentally. Though I'm still not where I really want to be, I am certainly in a more positive frame of mind than I was last week. Today I wanted to take a moment and acknowledge the fact that I have been getting more and more readers on my Patreon account. It is wonderful and I'm excited about it. I work hard on the things I write - my books, my stories, my poems, and yes, even this blog. To see that my work is being read is a huge boost to my psyche. I've also been picking up a few more blog readers here and there around the world and that is another boost and step in the right direction. So let me take another moment and send my newest readers in Ireland and Switzerland a warm welcome. (I'm still waiting on Canada a
