Barbara Hannay – The Sweetest of Romances
I‘m delighted to welcome Barbara to my blog today. I met Barbara at my very first RWA conference in 2004. I’d read a number of her lovely stories and was thrilled to have my photo taken with her.

Trinity Picininis
There’s something very engaging about small children intent on their artwork. A tongue sticking out of the corner of a mouth, the furrowed forehead of concentration, the tunnel vision required to get that curved line just right. So absorbed are they, you can speak to them and they don’t hear you. It’s not that they Continue reading
