Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

Corner Booth

Corner Booth–an unexpected favorite of so many. I’ve written a lot about it. Some minimal, but a lot more than I ever thought I would. And I’ve got a lot more I want to say!

Sequels I want to Write:

Sequels I Want to Write: or my literary ADD

We all have our faults--those little things that make us unique.  Some of us are just more unique as others. Add that to a unique name, a unique lifestyle--my whole life--and a unique almost everything else, when you add in those faults, it gets a mite... much. Me, I'm riddled with faults.  Since Continue Reading

She Doesn’t Have to Settle: A look at relationships

I read a Facebook post the other day.  In a group of people discussing planning methods, she spoke up. The post went something like this (going on memory but not trying to remember details to provide some semblance of privacy): I had a fight with my boyfriend. It was ugly, and he almost hit me. So, Continue Reading

3 Things I Love about Carlie (and an interview)

When I first conceived the idea of Corner Booth, that's all I had.  A restaurant, a corner booth, and a guy who works there every Wednesday.  Originally, Dean was an accountant with a firm in town.  Carlie showed up, plopped herself into the booth, and voila! Everything changed about three thousand Continue Reading

So Which of My Characters Is Most Like Me?

So Which of My Characters Is Most Like Me?

  Am I?  Am I "a character?" Well, my mom always said I am.  Someone would ask about my character and that's what she'd say.  "Oh, she's a character all right."  So, there you have it.  Easiest answer of them all. Sigh. Links in this post may be affiliate links that provide me with a 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!!!!
