I spent the day writing a chapter for my next Wolver novel that won’t fit in until much later in the book. If you’ve checked my Wolver WIP page, you know that Bull’s job is to ‘eliminate’ wolvers whose behavior threatens the secrecy of the pack’s existence. There are two ways he can do this. He…

Foolish Mistakes
Wolver’s Gold is getting a new cover! Why? Because I made a costly mistake. Because readers judge a book by its cover. Because while sales are okay, it’s not selling as it should. Because the old cover says, quite clearly, it’s a Historical/Western and it’s not, not really. It’s a modern tale about NOT clinging to the past. It’s…
Garden Marauders
As many of you know, I live in a rural area where wildlife abounds. It’s quiet and seemingly peaceful. To some, this setting would seem idyllic, and it is, up to a point and that point involves the natural order of things. Animals must eat. The deer stop regularly at my pond to drink. I…
To Err is Human
I’ve been spending my evenings going over my older novels, making corrections on typos that either I have found or readers have (kindly) pointed out. The mistakes are fairly common and therefore embarrassing, particularly since I consider myself to be a literate person. I know the difference between there, their and they’re.(See? That’s a mistake…
The Wolvers – Where am I going?
The Wolvers began with an article I read about a mythical creature from the Shetland Islands. I won’t go into that here because I’ve already told you about it on The Wolvers page here on my site. This is more about the evolution of the series and where it’s headed. So first off, let me…
Lazy Day
Ever have a day where you just can’t seem to get going? Today’s my day. I have a list of things to do – I’m a huge list maker – but it’s 11:30 and all I’ve done is a load of wash. No, that’s not true. I’ve been puttering. It rained last night and the yard…
Opposites Attract
The Dear Spouse and I are living proof that opposites attract. He was the quiet and steady voice of reason, the one who weighed all the options before making a decision and I was the loud, wild child. Party? Where? That sounds like a great idea! Let’s do it. Now! I wound him up. He…
Cheapskate’s Anonymous
Hi, my name’s Jackie and I’m a cheapskate. There. I admit it, although I prefer the term ‘thrifty’. My parents came of age during the Great Depression where thrift was a necessity. Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without was our family motto and I continued that lesson into adulthood.…
How I Write
I was looking through the posts to this site and realized I’d made some comments about future release dates that didn’t quite pan out. It wasn’t intentional, I assure you. When I said Guardian’s Faith would be out in June, I really thought it would be. I thought I could impose a schedule on myself…
Small Miracles
My best friend received a small miracle today. In a newly tilled garden, her daughter found a wedding ring – the one my friend lost 36 years ago when they built their house. What made it extra special, was that today was her oldest son’s birthday – a son she lost to a tragic and…
