THE OUTSIDER

Have you caught the new novel by a Best Selling author?   Joy Parker had the perfect childhood.  Doted on by her parents, she couldn’t imagine her childhood any different.  As a child and later a young adult, she’s ignored by her much older siblings, made to feel the outsider…until a tragedy occurs, altering her life in ways she couldn’t possibly have imagined.  The next few years of her life are vastly different from her parents’ hopes and dreams for her.  Then suddenly, another life-altering event changes the course of her life and she must make decisions she never dreamt possible.  Winning the largest lottery in Wisconsin history opens the flood gates of possibility and means Joy must again decide which direction to take with the rest of her life.  What would you do if you won $341,726,178.10 after taxes?  Come along for the ride as we discover what Joy Parker decides to do with it….

New Release!

I know, I know, it’s been a minute. I have actually had dozens of releases in the last year, but they were in audio and foreign translations. I stopped announcing the foreign translations because apparently, some people thought they were getting the wrong blog that they didn’t sign up for. So my books in Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, etc were not being well received despite fairly good…

Happy 50th Birthday Nickey

Today on what would have been Nickey’s 50th birthday, I want to celebrate a dog that really was perfect for a child living out in the country with no near friends, who indulged my sense of adventure, and was there for me through many firsts. Nickey came into my life as a replacement for Corkey.  Corkey was my first dog, a schnauzer poodle mix, so, in the 70’s a mutt or Schnoodle.  Unfortunately,…

The Kindness of Strangers

Today I got a knock on my bus.  The dreaded knock, right?  It wasn’t what I thought it would be though.  When I finally got up to check it out, a man was standing outside the side doors, waiting patiently.  He introduced himself as the owner of a local hotel and he had noticed my bus in his parking lot. I immediately got defensive and asked if he didn’t want me to park there anymore and that I…

It's been a year

A year ago today, I left my house of 20-some years that I had packed up and put into storage, and hit the road. I packed my clothing, blankets, and a few totes, as well as my camping gear in my Rav4 and left. Some would say that was madness, some would say how brave, some would say, “Wow, what an adventure.” They would all be right. I was so unhappy, for so long, in that house that all the bad…
