Author Questions Bonus (Take One)

Heidi K (Abigail)- What age were you when you started writing? Were you a little girl? I have always made up stories in my head... I remember doing it as young as four or five.  However, I didn't start writing them down until I was around twelve.  So, I guess it depends on if you consider twelve Continue Reading

Readers Ask Questions: Part 4

This post has been updated!  The original was for a contest that is long gone, but I thought you might enjoy the questions and answers.  Original post date was Independence Day of 2010!!! Sharon B-  Do you enjoy reading your books? Is it full of myself to say yes?  What I don't enjoy is seeing Continue Reading

Author Questions Bonus (Take Two)

Sharon B-  If you could change one thing that happened in Shadow and Secrets what would it be? Why? I'd have created a place that never existed.  I feel guilty for messing with history the way I did.  If there was an island a few hundred miles away from Ireland, it would have solved the problem, Continue Reading

This post has been updated!  The original was for a contest that is long gone, but I thought you might enjoy the questions and answers.  Original post date was Independence Day of 2010!!! Susan K-  Who edits your books and how does that work? Well, that is a complicated question.  Originally, I Continue Reading

Feelin’ the Love

So, one of the most amazing things about writing is seeing other people get wrapped up in your work.  I love it when I get a ding from a friend online and read, "Hey, got any more ___" (fill in the blank).  It's just the most amazing thing  to see others not just willing to read what you wrote, but Continue Reading

Book Signing~

Every time I publish a book, friends and I go out to lunch for a "Book Signing."  This time, I came prepared. My friends!  From left to right.  Lupe, Glenda (her husband is where I got the name Verily for Noble Pursuits),  Teresa (my partner in so many "crimes") and me. Signing Lupe's Continue Reading

Craig Worrell: Sketchy Guy (Part 5)

Stay tuned at the end of the interview for more information on Craig, his website, and the blog where he showcases his recent work. What do you suggest to people who want to learn how to draw more accurately?  Are there any books you recommend?  Videos?  Online classes?  Correspondence Continue Reading

Craig Worrell: Interview (Part 4)

Now we're getting into the visual aspect of it all.  Let's SEE just what this guy is and who he admires.  Let's really rip the soul from his creativity and examine it... umm no.... let's not and let's not say we did.  That was just... well... Yeah.  How about a nice simple question like, who his Continue Reading

Craig Worrell: Interview (Part 3)

Oh, we're gettin' to the good stuff.  The nitty gritty, and I think that's appropriate.  After all, life in medieval times was very nitty (lice) and gritty (grime).  It works.  Just sayin', but it works.  Onto the interesting stuff! What kinds of things do you enjoy drawing most?  (Portraits, Continue Reading

Craig Worrell: Interview (Part 2)

Well, after reading that his friend calls him an illustrationIST, I felt a little guilty using the "tor" so I went for both.  That way, everyone is happy... or no one is.  I'm good either way.  I think I got gypped by the way.  I doodled... and I can't draw a crooked line! When did you start Continue Reading

Ever feel like you've lost control of your house.. Ever feel like you've lost control of your house... and your life?  Yeah. You're not alone. Meet Kaye. Wife, Mom, and competitive shopper (or so she wishes--erm, wished). But when the day comes that she can't find even ONE of the half dozen whatzits that they've bought over the years, she sort of loses it (her mind). Then her whole FAMILY loses it (their stuff, that is!).

November 4, 2025: Bookish Gratitude is a great cu November 4, 2025: 
Bookish Gratitude is a great cup of tea, a snack, and a new book!
I'm drinking Lyon's Gild, recommended by @jenniferdeibel_author , but its in my empty Harney & Sons "Victorian London Fog" tin. That's my second favorite tea. My FAVORITE  is "Christmas in Sisters" from @suttle_tea . Just got my order in... been hounding the website since July. Now that mine is reserved,  I  will sing its praises to the rooftop.  With cream and sugar,  it tastes like a really good chai without the soupyness some ciffee shop chais have.
Eating Pepperidge Farms Linzer raspberry cookies (recommend 2 not 3... three was almost too much).
Reading A Light at the End of the Woods by @carriebrownellwrites ( not Donwell... duh) and @bookmonkeypress 
So far I love it!!!!
