Launching a new paranormal series on the Solstice is purely coincidental, but it’s lovely timing, all the same. A few weeks ago, I told you about the poll I ran among readers in my Facebook group, that told me you would all be interested in a series that featured older women. And further research led

First Chapters of CANCER CURATED We’re only two weeks away from the release of Cancer Curated (hard to believe — that time went fast!), and that normally means running the first chapter of the book for you, here. But Cancer Curated is non-fiction, and the chapters are kinda chopped up. Still, I’ll run a decently-long

As I write this email, I’m sitting in my “office” (the recliner), and the air around me is redolent with the mouth watering scents of: 1) A big batch of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, 2) two crusty loaves of bread sitting on the counter to cool, 3) a batch of rhubarb-strawberry jam made from scratch,
