My Little Secret

Good afternoon, my Lovelies!

It has been a hot minute! I know! I'm trying, y'all. I really am.

I hope this blog finds you healthy, happy, and living your best life. Me? I've come an incredibly long way on the health front and feel better than I have in about 20 years. Happy? I'm working on it. Living my best life? I'm working on it.

I'm just back from my first author signing event of the year and while I wish it had been a bit more successful for me as far as book sales, I did have a good time. It's always great to talk to readers and to see my book-world friends.

I've been pretty busy working on this next book. I'm literally days away from having the first draft finished which is always an exciting time for me. Finishing one book and starting another? It's an amazing feeling.

So what's on my mind today? Oh, I could load you guys up with all the bullshit that floats through my head. But today I think we'll talk about secrets.

It's okay to have secrets. Truly. It is.

I'm great at keeping secrets. I always have been. Even as much of a proponent as I am for knowledge and research, there are just some things that not everyone needs to know.

I suppose I'm lucky. I have a core group of friends, the best bitches in the whole damn world, who I can tell anything to. Do they know all my secrets? No. But they know a bunch and I know that I can talk to them about those secrets and they will not tell anyone outside our group. I trust them implicitly.

Not much beats a drunk night with the girls spilling all the latest.

That being said, there are things from my past that nobody needs to know about. There are things I'm involved with now that nobody needs to know about. And I can guaran-damn-tee you that there WILL be things in my future that nobody needs to know about. 

There are times when it's nice to hold events, thoughts, and memories close to your heart. It's nice to pull those out every once in a while, remember the moment, and then tuck it away again.

Will I ever reveal all my secrets? Maybe. Maybe not.

Maybe I'll wait until I'm in a nursing home. Can't you just see me with a walker chasing those randy old men around and telling anyone who will listen about my questionable past? They'll never believe me and think I'm just as full of shit as I am.

Sometimes the truth is far better and more entertaining than fiction.

I hope you all have an amazing month ahead! I'm sure you'll be hearing from me soon!



Until next time and as always,


Much love and private thoughts and moments from me to you,

The House That Built Me

Good morning, my Lovelies! How are you? How's life? I hope things are well and that good fortune has looked favorably upon you. I woke bright and early this morning so that I could share with you before the rest of the house woke up. Once they're awake? Complete chaos and I have trouble getting my thoughts together. I apologize in advance, but this is going to be a long one. You see, I'm in Kentucky visiting my parents and there are six of us crammed into a tiny, two-bedroom apartment. So, yes, I'm grateful to be here, grateful for a break from work and my normal day-to-day, grateful for time with my elderly parents, but...chaos, all the same. I wasn't entirely sure how I was going to say all I wanted to say during this particular blog. I told you last week that my hometown was destroyed by a tornado. So let me share my experience with you. The drive from my home to my parents' front door is 908 miles. As we came off the Interstate around midnight you could see ...

The Dance

Good morning, my Lovelies! It has been a while since I've blogged and truthfully, I don't know if I would be blogging right now if I didn't need to get some things out of my head. Life has been a real struggle for me lately. I hope you all have been doing well. I know that is a stretch for many of you in the USA right now, but that is a whole-ass topic that I won't even begin to discuss at the moment. Y'all. I'm sad. I'm devastated. My heart has been shattered into a million pieces. One of my friends passed away this past weekend. It was very sudden and at this point, I don't know the cause. He was young and healthy. He took very good care of himself - always at the gym and running those Tough Mudder races, etc. So, my mind simply cannot process how this has happened. I wrote our story a while back and I'm so glad I did. It is one of the true stories I wrote into my newsletter-exclusive book, Truth, Lies & Fantasies. (If you would like to read it...
