A guest appearance on the Story Club Tulsa podcast When I came up with the title, Beverley Green: Sasquatch Hunter for my first book, I had no idea what I was doing. I mean, NO IDEA. Little did I know it would result, a few years later, in being a guest on a podcast to read about... Bigfoot. I honestly didn't know that Bigfoot was such a big thing here in Oklahoma.

Thriving in 2020?
Um, hey 2020, wtf? To put it lightly, 2020 has been a real game changer. Some people temporarily lost their jobs. Some people permanently lost their livelihood. Others have lost their lives.

But through it all, there have also been glimpses of beauty and laughter and love. So when I ... Continue Reading »

Well, these are interesting times. Who would have ever thought we'd be living through a global pandemic? Not me! That was always the kind of thing that happened someplace else. Or a very long time ago or possibly way off in the future. But, here we are. The other day, I happened to notice that another "100 Day Project" was beginning on Instagram.

Because I should be writing right now…
...I went ahead and created a video. I get the most interesting projects done during National Novel Writing Month! Like cleaning the oven, knitting sweaters, making videos... Actually, NaNoWriMo isn't going too badly right now, but I should get some writing done today. Before I go, here's a video I shot today when I stopped by Esperance Bakery in Jenks, OK! Hope has been very kind to me - she sells my books in her bakery and is my official NaNo sponsor, keeping me fully stocked with ... Continue Reading »
