Ahhh…I really DO plan to publish this thing!
I know, I know...I've been talking about publishing a novel for how long now? I have worked with a brilliant editor, and now I think I actually have a publisher! Yes, indeed! Looking over the contract and moving forward. The cover looks great, thanks to the great...
A legend in her own time–Pat Summitt

In less than an hour, the cry will come from the field: "Play ball!" But my team isn't in the mix this year. So why should I care? Why DO I care? Is it because the Kansas City Royals--the team of my husband's hometown, the one that my late father-in-law like so much...
