On the other stove burner…

… I have my fiction writing.  I think most of you know by now that my newest novel, Don’t You Forget About Me, is scheduled for a November 1 release date. In the meantime, to celebrate, I’m practically giving away my 2006 novel, Jane_E, Friendless Orphan:  A Memoir.  

Yes, for the low, low price of $1.99, you can get a PDF ebook version.  The people on Amazon and Goodreads seem to like it.  Here’s hoping you will, too!  This offer is good through October 31, 2013.  In the meantime, if you haven’t already subscribed to my author page, I invite you do to so!

One Pot Wonder IS truth in advertising!

We followed the recipe for One Pot Wonder at Kim’s Simple Recipes.  It was a hit!  One might even say it was a wonder!

We used fettucine instead of linguine, and we used fresh oregano instead of dried because that’s all we had), but the results were smashing!

Yesterday’s 7QT over on my author blog

Here are seven thoughts on the death of our good old dog, Willow:  pro-life issues, faith vs. works, and do all dogs really go to heaven?

I’m also searching for a mid-1980s era CYO boy’s basketball shirt.  If you live in the PA/DE/MD/NJ area and have one of these, let me know?  If you don’t, say a prayer to St. Anthony.  I need to find one by next Saturday, June 1, to use in the filming of my book trailer.

That was the calm, cool, professional prayer request.  Now allow me to go all kinds of “SQUEEEEEEE I HAVE TO MAKE A BOOK TRAILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!”
