Normally common cold to me means 3 days of misery, during which I whine, and then I am up and running. It’s been 11 days and I am still sick. Kids are still sick. Gordon is still sick. Everyone is sick. I am so sleep deprived. Last night, just like this whole week, as soon

Goodreads Nomination and Other Things
I’m running on about 3 hours of sleep. I would love more sleep and if I could, I would get it, but every time I fall asleep, I start choking in about 30 minutes. So not fun. I’m improving, but at a crawl. Between dad’s visit and this plague, we are now catastrophically behind schedule.

Delay on Innkeeper
So today is my father’s last day with us, but that’s not why we are delaying. Kid 2 had bacterial sinusitis. Her boyfriend has bacterial sinusitis. Kid 1 now also has bacterial sinusitis. Everyone has antibiotics. I’ve held on for about 4 days trying to take care of everybody, but woke up this morning with

Gloomy Wednesday
First things first, the answers to some questions. Why was the snippet cut? It was a tense beginning but it doesn’t really connect to anything in the way we originally envisioned. We wanted to get to the main storyline faster. You will still see chunks of this in the narrative. There is a midnight visitor,

Deleted Scene from Hidden Legacy 4, More Cowbells
We liked this beginning but ultimately decided it needs something more. We we’ve cut this scene and reworked it. Here it is, a never before and never again published opening. We tried but couldn’t find the image of the right building available to purchase, so we are linking to it here, because we have no

And if you go for that personal meeting with a person, how do you approach them (through email? Setup face to face meetings)? Are people in a university

Writing Questions: Ideas and Reviews
Do you ever read someone else’s stuff and think “oh Kate would have done it this way” or then think “I could have done that better?” – then fight yourself not to use the idea? I never want to borrow someone else’s idea but sometimes what is in a story is similar to what I
