Sometimes I just have to…

 

I seem like such an extrovert and I really kinda am, but deep down in the heart of me, I’m a total introvert. I literally could live in the woods and not see a soul and be happy.

Truth is, I don’t have a lot of close friends. I have three friends I talk to. Literally. Now, I am super close to my family. My sister is the complete opposite. She loves to be surrounded by her hundreds of friends.

I’m so out of touch that I don’t even check text messages. I am not big on carrying around my phone. The people who are close to me know that if they need me, they need to call me.

I do love to connect with readers and probably because we talk about books. Now, I could talk about that all day long.

So last weekend and a couple days this week, Rowena and I headed to the camper to stay for a few alone days. She slept in all the places. She got to see a lot of the deer that roam our property and she loved hearing the birds.

We had a really nice rain storm one day and while I wrote, she snuggled up next to the window and purred.

And I also did binge watch the show Alone on my ipad on the Amazon Prime Video. OMG! Have y’all seen that show? EECK!

I have to say that I also did a few sneak peeks at the builders handy work on the house.

What about y’all? Do you need to get away sometimes?

Campfire Chili

A couple of weekends ago Eddy and I took shamper camper.

We decided to get a campsite on lake which is about an hour and twenty minutes away from home.
I knew I wanted to take some time that weekend to make some recipes over the campfire for the upcoming books. It was a perfect weekend to make chili and I ended using my cast iron skillet over the fire for it too! I’ve attached a photo of the recipe and the link will take you to the recipe to download as well.

The recipe I have can be used for over the fire or stove top. I hope you enjoy this exclusive recipe that’s  in the EGGNOGS, EXTORTION, & EVERGREENS!
And let me know if you make it! A picture would be even better!! Happy Wednesday!

Check your mailbox! It’s release day for POST MORTEM!

Happy release day for Bernadette Butler and the Front Porch Ladies! Bernadette finds herself right back in a murder mystery after her mail carrier truck breaks down and she uses her bicycle to finish her routes. She’s not alone on the route!

Rowena wanted to go for a little ride and is usually a good girl in the bike’s basket. Not today! Something caught Rowena’s eye and she jumped out of the basket, bringing Bernadette to a halt. When Bernadette grabs up Rowena and tries to see what caught Ro’s eye, it was a dead body! Not just any dead body! It’s the dead body of a beloved husband and father of the community!

Bernadette understands how the fatherless child and the widow feel. Remember…Bernadette our seasoned sleuth had a similar past, which makes Bernadette on a mission to find out who did something so terrible and to bring killer to justice! I am having so much fun writing Bernadette! I hope you enjoy your trip to Sugar Creek Gap and super excited to read your reviews!
