October 25, 2016 By Julie Klassen

I recently asked Facebook friends to name their favorite British series.

October 17, 2016 By Lynn Austin

That’s when I take a deep breath and look up at my office bookshelves where I have two items that help me keep things in perspective. The first is this antique typewriter: I began writing my first novel on a … [Read more...]

Yesterday the installers were using the nail gun to affix plywood to the floor in prep for new laminate.
