The thing with being an author …

Welcome to my world
Won't you come on in. Hmm. I was typing and half the screen slid sideways. I suspect my website is having a moment! Definitely seems that way. Oh well, never mind, how sad. Today was all about the alphabet until I got tired of it. If you've ever put books, already on a shelf, in … Continue reading Welcome to my world
