Spooky Season
It’s that time of year for pumpkins, apples, ghosts and ghouls. I love it even though I have to start putting my garden to bed. My trip to San Diego for Bouchercon 2023 was amazing. I met so many wonderful people – writers and readers. It’s always so inspiring. My release date for The Water…
Bouchercon, and a free story!

A Winter Tale for a Hot Summer
It is hot, hot, hot. A trip to the mountains in early July was a nice break from the hot city. In my garden the tomatoes, basil, and eggplant are loving the heat. The lettuce, less so – but I have lots of chard in the garden for summer greens. To cool off, and also…
July! How Did That Happen?
The year is half over. So far it has been quite the ride. Art shows, a new day job, and family events have definitely filled my days in a memorable way. On a sad note, my vegetable garden was hit hard by a hail storm yesterday. Most of the plants will rebound, I think. But…

Summer Begins, and a Free Story
Hello, lovely readers! The days are long enough now that I can get some gardening done after work in my community plot. And I have been so happy with the garden this year. The weather isn’t too hot, and not too cold, and a bit of rain almost every day. It’s totally unheard of here…

These works in both…
Happy Beltane!
Wishing beautiful May flowers for those of you in the Northern hemisphere. This is also my birthday month, so one of my favorites. We have actually had a bit of spring here in Denver. Usually we go right from snow to 80 degree days. This spring we’ve had some rainy days and the trees are…
