Oh Calliope, Where Art Thou?

I have a confession to make. It’s Thursday, and today I am struggling to honor my commitment/challenge to myself to blog twice a week, preferably on Mondays and Thursdays. Actually, I’m struggling to write anything. Life and illness keep getting in the way. I don’t feel inspired or motivated. I haven’t added any words to my …

Book Review: PALMETTO POISON by C. Hope Clark

Palmetto Poison is #3 in the Carolina Slade series by C. Hope Clark. I confess I have not read the previous installments, and almost opted not to review this book as I felt guilty for not starting at the beginning. After a bit more thought I decided to see if this book could stand alone. …

Hi, my name is Kathryn and I’m an addict…

…or perhaps I should title this post “Eulogy for an Android.” I am choosing to go “old school” for a few months until my husband graduates and learns if we will be moving for his new job. This choice was made Thursday when my Android self-destructed beyond repair. Thankfully a kind friend gave me his old cell phone, …

What I Wish I’d Known Then…

I found FundsForWriters over three years ago when I became disabled and started considering writing as a new career option. Since then I have followed C. Hope Clark through her websites (see the links below), blog, and Facebook. I have learned much from her and am always encouraged. Today I am excited that Hope Clark offered to …
