My Reading Life

August 28, 2021 By Robin Lee Hatcher

Reading

This summer I spruced up my website again. This time it was inspired by the cover of my June 2022 release (still to be revealed to readers). Two of my favorite colors are mauve (pretty much all of the “pink” shades and tones are favorites) and teal. The changes I made to my website went beyond the color scheme. They included a change in the look of my blog. And that has caused me to do some … [Read more...]

Watch & Listen

January 20, 2021 By D'Ann Mateer

I thought I’d catch you up on a couple of new things I’ve been loving lately. They fall into two different categories: watch and listen. My thoughts are short and sweet today, but I hope one or the other will be something you can enjoy as well! Watch: The English Game I am so in love with this series! Written by Julian Fellows of Downton Abbey fame, it is the cross between an underdog … [Read more...]

September 4, 2019 By D'Ann Mateer

As you know, I’m on the road a lot. I tend to accompany my husband on business trips at least once a month, sometimes more. And between times we travel to see our kids and our granddaughter, too. Sometimes I get frustrated because I never seem to get as much writing done as I would like on those trips. Mostly it’s the travel days that upend me, but it is other days as well. Days where I debate … [Read more...]

The Peace of Unplugging

June 12, 2019 By Dani Pettrey

Hi friends, So happy to be back with you this week. I spent three weeks unplugging from everything online. I only checked my starred emails (which includes family, editor, and agent). I pre-scheduled my posts for social media and let them go. I turned off notifications for my apps. Stayed off Voxer. If it was related to technology, I avoided it. Why? You may ask. Because I was working on … [Read more...]
