Question: How many wise men were there who visited Jesus?
Bonus question: Did the wise men visit Jesus when he was still in the manger?
Sometimes what you’ve always heard isn’t factual! I’m interested to see what you all think! Let me know what you base your answer on.
It’s been a really, really long time since I’ve posted anything here. As a writer, I’ve gotten so discouraged over so many things…mostly the lack of motivation to write. I do work full time, and then I moonlight as an editor and formatter. I also have hobbies and grandkids, and…you see how that goes. Somewhere down the line, I let my writing go. I was in the middle of a Gothic romance, and it was going really well. I was excited about it. And suddenly, the passion for writing left me. Or maybe I was so busy doing other things that it just got pushed back.
Anyway, my boss decided we were going to take two weeks off for the holidays. TWO WEEKS. So I’m thinking maybe it’s time to pick that book up, read what I have so far, and get to work. It’s time.
I did release a novella a while back that was originally part of an anthology. You can find it here:

I know not many people will be here to comment since I haven’t been around in a while. I’m sure I’ve been forgotten, and that’s my own fault. But, hopefully, I’ll stay around this time. Thanks a bunch for reading!

Thanksgiving is a time when we reflect on all the things we’re thankful for. We should really be doing that all year ’round, but it seems like the holidays make us more mindful. I’m thankful for so many things, but especially my family and friends. And I am so, so thankful for my husband. He’s funny, hard-working, and very sweet. And he does the dishes…and the laundry. You can’t beat that, can you?

It’s been awhile since I posted. There’s been so much life stuff going on that I put writing on the back burner for a bit. I hope to be back for good now, so keep your fingers crossed that nothing else happens.
I just thought I would let you all know that there IS going to be a third novella in the Hemlock Ridge mysteries. If anyone has read the first two, you’ll remember the chief of police, Win Bedford. This story will be about him.
That’s all for now. Hopefully, there will be more to come soon!
I know I don’t blog here very often. I’m still trying to figure this pen name out and where I want to be with it. But I have some exciting news! April 1 (yeah, that’s tomorrow!) I will be releasing, along with seven other authors, an anthology called Virtually Yours. All eight novellas have a similar theme, and I can tell you, it’s a whole lot of fun! So be looking for that tomorrow! 🙂
Psst! It’s only .99!
I know I haven’t been blogging lately. I haven’t had this pen name long, so I’m kind of just getting my feet wet.
Anyway… what I’ve been up to. I just recently finished writing a short novella for an anthology I’m doing with some other authors. I’m now writing the second in the Hemlock Ridge Mysteries series. The first book, Brewing Up Murder, has been very well received, and I’m really happy with how that’s going. I hope I can keep the momentum going with the second book, which I’m probably going to title “Murder on the Ridge”. I expect to do a cover reveal for this in the very near future.
I’ve also started doing some things for better health. Eating better, exercise, etc. I really want to be healthier, and it’s time I got serious about that.
That’s about it, except for working at my full time job, going to church, and spending time with my hubby. Yeah, I’m kind of boring, but it’s a good life. 🙂
It’s almost here! The mystery is almost solved! Here’s the cover of my first novella in the Hemlock Ridge Mysteries series. Thank you Anya Kelleye for another great cover.
Sometimes the life of an author can be challenging. Take, for instance, this anthology I’m doing with Ruth Ann Nordin, writing as Barbara Joan Russell. Everything was going along smoothly when someone spotted a cover just like ours, but in a very different genre. So we had to scramble to get a new one. Anya Kelleye worked very hard to create a new one for us. Ruth, Anya, and I searched images until Anya found the perfect one. And she kept me calm the whole time since I was about to panic. 🙂
Nothing ever goes as smoothly as we think. So we should always make sure we’re prepared for all kinds of things. We’re now right on schedule, the manuscripts have been sent to Parchment & Plume, and we’re good to go!
