• Tension And Conflict Are Real Doogie Downers

  I was supposed to be in Chicago. Mom was going downhill quickly. We’d been told she could pass any day. I thought I’d be proactive and go to help my two sisters with end-of-life preparations. The two of them have carried the burden of Mom’s care for the past several years. Then I get a call from…

• Do I Have The Write Stuff?

    I’m at a writers’ conference. A dream I’ve had for awhile. I’m scared half out of my mind. There are agents here, looking for new talent to snap up. Publishers seeking new books to acquire. Authors who’ve been there, done that and have the published books and contracts to prove it. What am I…
