In my last post, I lamented my inability to upload a drawing of Lady Charlotte of Lachlaich, the Genetrix of my new series. I don’t scroll to the bottom of my home page that often; it runs a side show of the Posts. Imagine my shock to see the picture there and not in the …

I love a good storm, whether I’m sitting in the comfort and safety of my home (sometimes with spirits) while the thunder booms and the lightning flashes through the window pane, or reading about one in a good book.

Today is a hazy July day, the temperature is perfectly comfortable, and there is a slight zephyr of breeze to assist the butterflies as they go about their business among the brightly colored flowers.

For this latest book, Genetrix: The Amity, I did what the ‘experts’ claim to be the ‘proper’ way to write. Besides my normal research, I wrote an outline, divided it into quarters for the …

It is a rainy overcast day, with 20 mm of rain forecast for tonight. I was going to quote the age old April showers bring May flowers – but since it’s now June that’s somewhat lame. However, my mood does not match the grey day. For one thing, all the flowers, trees and shrubs are a …

The word Genetrix means a female ancestor. What happens when you meet a sixteenth- century genetrix and her Scottish sidekick, but you aren’t dreaming? Find out what happens in my new series: Genetrix. The first book is called The Amity (the friendship, the circle). Our hero ghosts from Malice & Murder make a stop on …

The hubbub has ceased and everyone has returned to their lives. Except me. I am unsure what life is for me at this juncture. While the paperwork involved with a death is huge, it is amazing how that life is removed from official record. I once heard that leaving was like removing one’s hand from a …
