Welcome to this week’s Tuesday Tales. This is picture prompt week. Here’s the picture I chose: Brick walls usually symbolize a dead end. In Callie’s case, it will be a beginning, one she never expected. I’ve just returned from a wonderful vacation out west where I visited Jasper, Lake Louise, Banff, and Calgary, adding aContinue reading “Tuesday Tales:From a Picture”

Welcome to September. Where has the year gone? Today, I continue with Forever in my Heart. The Tuesday Tale word is FIGHT. “I suppose I shouldn’t have turned the phone off,” she admitted. “I apologize. Leaving like that … I guess I just wasn’t thinking straight. You know—the old fight or flight instinct—not that weContinue reading “Tuesday tales: From the Word FIGHT”

I’m reminded of an old song, Where have All the Flowers Gone? It seems like spring was only yesterday, and here we are on the brink of fall.

Wow! Hard to believe August is almost over. This week, my husband and I will celebrate our 50th anniversary, so I’ll be offline for a couple of weeks. In the meantime, I leave you with this week’s Tuesday Tale based on the word BARE. Here’s the latest from Forever in my Heart. After rinsing theContinue reading “Tuesday Tales: From the Word BARE”

Welcome to another Tuesday Tales. I’m continuing with my holiday romance, Forever in my Heart. “This is what I get for polishing off that second bottle of wine all by myself,” she groaned. This wasn’t her first hangover and probably wouldn’t be her last, but never had she felt so off-kilter, so strange, with unprecedentedContinue reading “Tuesday Tales: From the Word SIMPLE”

Have you ever wanted to do something only to have to put it on hold over and over again? That’s the way it was with The Price of Courage, Book 2 of the Canadiana Series. I’d planned to start it right after I finished The Price of Honor, but then life happened. This year, IContinue reading “The Price of Courage is now live!”

Welcome to this week’s Tuesday Tales, the blog post where a small group of select authors share their works in progress with you. Sometimes we have a word prompt and create a 400 word scene; at others, we have a picture prompt and are limited to 300 words. I’m continuing with my holiday romance, ForeverContinue reading “Tuesday Tales: From a Picture”

If there is anything I’ve learned along my writing journey, it’s that I suck at promotion. My abilities are as stark as my granddaughter’s winter scene. In fact, I have absolutely no idea how to promote myself, and anything I try is a wasted effort. Sound familiar? I can’t believe I’m the only one inContinue reading “CREATING A SERIES & ADDING TO IT: WINTER WEDDINGS!”

Welcome to this week’s Tuesday Tales. This week our prompt is CREAM. A apologize for being 19 words over, but I wanted to finish the scene. Here’s Forever in my Heart. Luke turned his hand and grabbed Mike’s, his grip painful. “You … have to promise me…” “Anything, man, anything.” “The girls … take careContinue reading “Tuesday Tales: From the Word CREAM”

Welcome to this week’s Tuesday Tales, the blog where a small group of authors share their work with you. Each week, we write to a word of picture prompt.
