Barb’s Blog: What Do Train Dodging and Manuscript Submissions Have In Common?

Posted on October 14, 2022 by admin

    When I was a kid, my friends and I would play on the train tracks.  Sometimes, we would play chicken. By chicken, I mean we would wait on the train bridge as the train was coming, then jump off as it got closer. If you were feeling super daring, you could wedge yourself…

Barb’s Book Reviews, October Edition (and Links to Help Flood Victims)

Posted on October 7, 2022 by admin

I told myself I’d step up the reading in September, but then Mother Nature decided to throw a couple hurricanes into the mix.

(Note: In my online bios, I refer to myself as an amateur cat herder. This is a bit of a misnomer as the word amateur implies there’s such a thing as a professional cat herder. One can only be a professional cat herder if they successfully herd cats on a regular basis. We all know…

Posted on September 1, 2022 by admin

Happy End of Summer! I know what you’re thinking. The solstice isn’t until September 22. Maybe so, but where I live, the schools are open, the coffee shop is selling pumpkin spice and candy corn is one display at the market. Fall is here. Perhaps it’ll cheer you up to know I’ve got three terrific…
