What’s Going on With Me Wednesday

Woohoo!  Got my first draft of View done and off to my critique partner.  It’s still short, but hopefully Pat can tell me where I’m missing something.  My only concern now is that it’s too “quirky” for mainstream print, like all of my other TL Schaefer books.  Sigh.  If nothing else, I’ll try fishing for [...]

TABT…The Assassin, by Rachel Butler

Hi all — sorry I didn’t post on Monday…I was neck-deep in revisions and watching Memorial Day stuff on the tube.  With us being so deeply intertwined with the military, it seemed like the right thing to do, as well as remember my Pop, who was a Korean War vet.

M/M Monday…Independence Day (1996)

Independence Day (1996)–OMG–this movie is over ten years old.  Talk about aging me!  Anyway, it was on the tube last night as I was neck-deep into revisions (which explains why I’m not talking about a movie made in this decade *g*).
On the whole, this is one of those movies I can revisit on a semi-regular [...]

Freaky Location Friday … the LOOOONG ride from Rome to Germany

So in my previous post you got the gist of why Rome just wasn’t for us.  Today I’m going to talk about how we returned to Germany.
We caught a train that morning, and it was all good…got into Venice just as night was falling, and I adore Venice, so we got some grub, wandered the [...]
