And Other Recent News Hello Friend! Gosh, it's been a few minutes since I've posted here. But if you're a newsletter subscriber, you've gotten mail from me all year, so that should count, right? In any case, 2020 doesn't count. We should all get a do-over for last year. As for this year... things out in the World continue to be topsy-turvy, and I ended up spending 3 1/2 months in California tending to family stuff. I'll probably be going back before the year is over. As someone who does ... Continue Reading »

That one time I was on that podcast
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.

2020 still has a few months to go before we politely send it on its way, but it already feels like its been a decade long. Sometimes. Other times, it feels like ten minutes have gone by and it's already August. Let's just say, this has been one of the weirdest years ever. Weird, scary, tough, frustrating, crazy, sad ... all appropriate descriptors for this year - the year that COVID-19 went global. But through it all, there have also been glimpses of beauty and laughter and love. So when I ... Continue Reading »
The 100 Day Project
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. I happened to notice on Day 1/100. I've always wanted to participate in this. To be honest, I've started the challenge several times, only to flame ... Continue Reading »
