I’ve been doing overtime at work, and it’s just solid proofreading all day, so I’ve been mainlining caffeine to stay awake. I’m really zonked this evening but I’m waiting to pick up the kid from marching band, so I thought I’d give the world a holler and let you-all know …
Finally the first raccoon book is out! I shouldn’t call it the raccoon book in public, I suppose, but shoot, I’ve been calling that since forever, and old habits die hard. Anyway, I just published this one on Saturday, after all these years — I wrote the first draft on …

Rose to the Occasion, my bestselling rose book, is FREE on Kindle from today until August 3. Grab a copy! It’s got all the good rose information I learned while taking care of 300 roses at a public rose garden. Roses are amazing plants. Many old roses have a long …
Heyyyyyyy, I have the first book in my Raccoon trilogy coming out this month — Outlander’s Scar! (This is not the actual cover — that’s still in production.) It took me long enough to get Outlander’s Scar published. I’ve only been working on some version of this story, on and …
