The progression of winter is rather beautiful. Even with the now frozen lake, shoveling and -14C overnight temperatures. If you've got the right clothes, being out in this is invigorating!

Played hooky this morning and went for a meander around the property. There's nothing like Mother Nature to ground you and make your smile. I will never take this for granted. Being able to breath clean air is a blessing. The mosquitoes ... that's another story!

Sometimes Mother Nature throws you a delightful morning view. When I came upon the duck, I stood for a minute enjoying the scene, then grabbed my camera to record it. Because some mornings aren't as lovely, and I might need a reminder that they will be so again! Hope you all have a good one.

I'm heading into a new aspect of writing my fiction novels - learning to draw a map of Percyville for my latest book. Even though I've got a rough sketch, I want to make something interesting, sized properly, and interesting to look at.

Wish me luck!

Writing genealogy mysteries means getting the history right! I spend a lot of time digging into old records, newspapers, and court documents to make sure the details in my books are as accurate as possible. I found a story about a missing heir who didn't want to be found. Idea for a future book?

Fascinating real-life discoveries have found their way into my books. I heard about a family who inherited a locked trunk that hadn’t been opened in decades. Inside, were letters revealing a long-lost love story. That idea became the foundation for one of my plots!
