We watched a segment on the news the other day about the Dali Museum in St. Pete. I had no idea that Dali designed and painted artwork for a full deck of Tarot Cards. Guess what Hardy ordered for me. They are absolutely gorgeous! That man makes my heart smile. ❤

I'm delighted that my short story "Clockmaker" will be included in this anthology. Expected publication in June.
A huge thank you to my friend Janet Hopkins who collaborated with me to develop the new logo for my writing brand. I absolutely love it! I've already ordered stickers. There are a few fun things about marketing when you're an author.
Feeling accomplished! Finished writing the first draft of my historical whaling horror novel. 75,000 words - 266 pages. Can't wait to get started on the editing! Painting is of the bark Morning Star at Wharfside in New Bedford, by James Cree, in the collection of the New Bedford Whaling Museum.
Had the chance to see Lisa Unger at Tombolo Books last night with Janet A. Hopkins. She's a great mystery/thriller writer and a very nice person. Great to hear about her new book and loved her answers to questions. Got a signed copy - YaY!
Christmas is the time for scary ghost stories, and Dickens wrote the most famous haunted Christmas tale over 180 years ago. You can read the whole thing in an hour or two and come away with both your supernatural and festive itches scratched. Credit to Heather Daughrity.
