Do you ever imagine the story behind a song? For years, ‘That Summer’ (bet you're singing it now) by Garth Brooks, has invoked my imagination to take me on a journey of ‘what is the story behind the song’. I welcome new Subscribers to my Substack news #TheWriteFlavour if my writing speaks to you.

Finished my second set of developmental edits on my YA fantasy and sent it back to my editor for copy edits. It felt so good, I relaxed and had a great day at The Nursery Golf and Country Club. It was quiet, serene… my game- well there’s room for improvement just like my writing!

I’m proud and pleased to announce my new children’s book, Book Bus Magic. People ask me about the process behind the publication of my book, and I wanted to share it. Please visit my Substack newsletter for more info.

My doggo is having dental surgery now- it’s always nerve wracking- the wait. Ugh!

I visited He!! on a recent holiday on Grand Cayman island. It was pleasant!

My hubby bugs me when I’m writing. Found this at IKEA- maybe I can hide myself away in this…

I’m new here. Compared to the ‘other one’, which felt like a cluttered closet- so far I like the neat and tidiness. So does my pup Mac.
