Autumn has arrived.
This morning is a clear blue sky autumn day. The kind I love. Crisp and beautiful. I'm sitting having a coffee with a Birman in my lap. She's making typing difficult and she doesn't care.

The things you find …
I was on Facebook (imagine?) and I was reading a post (shocking, I know). Anywho, it was a Spybrary post that caught my attention. (I think it was anyway.) I followed a link and was reading about various spy book series and I thought, wouldn't it be fun if Ronnie was there? Guys ... Ronnie … Continue reading The things you find …
Do you know where you’re going to?
Do you know? The song "Do you know where you're going to" by Diana Ross popped up this morning, and it started me thinking about my characters. Did you see that coming? 🙂 I don't know if I ever knew where Ellie was going - the FBI-Byte Series stories were mysteries to me that unfolded … Continue reading Do you know where you’re going to?
