The truth comes out Sheriff Pace watched her. He held his voice to a whisper. “Evelyn?” “Are they gone?” Her voice cracked. “Yes,” He continued to speak softly. “Pinch me.” What? No, I won’t! His mind screamed. “Why?” Was all he could say? Continue reading “Sunshine Valley”

Don’t do it!
I told myself I wouldn’t look. That it didn’t matter. Don’t read the reviews (if any on your e-book). To be honest, I was terrified. Still very gun shy. Imagine my surprise and delight when I read my first review. 🎉 THANK YOU💕

And a 85% chance of rain means nothing. As I’m mowing the small side of myContinue reading “Imagine the scandal”

After Church After church, the same crowd was at the Rice house, minus Sheriff Pace. A group of teenagers were raking the yard where it had been bush hogged the day before.

One mini meltdown
You have your manuscript set up just the way you want it. It’s beautiful. In your eyes. You take to the library to upload your treasure. Would you like to add a cover picture? Yes. You have the perfect picture. Upload. Wait. What? It’s sideways! You search in vain on how to fix this. YouContinue reading “One mini meltdown”
