Posted on April 5, 2021 by Silver James

Wednesday Words: Work Out

Thursday Thoughts: Universal Story Time

Posted on March 25, 2021 by Silver James

Monday Marching Orders

Posted on March 22, 2021 by Silver James

Good grief. After today, there’s STILL another Mopnday in this month. Also, I’m still all messed up over DST. I woke up yesterday morning to the chirpy weatherman announcing the 6 o’clock weather report and stating that we still had … Continue reading →

Thursday Thoughts: Universal Relationships

Posted on March 18, 2021 by Silver James

My current manscript is giving me fits. Just when I thought the characters had started to cooperate, the plot took on a life of its own. I shouldn’t be surprised. And I shouldn’t be frustrated. Writing a book–especially a romance … Continue reading →
