Writing Update: Summer happened
My writing update is back. Sort of. My spreadsheet is still a mess, so I’m winging it. And I’m going to lump July, August and September together. Mainly because summer is meant for fun and frolic and not real work, right? At least that’s what I’m telling myself. Writing Stats for July, August and September…

What to read in September 2026
So I did it again. I said I wasn’t going to do something and then turned right around and did it. Sort of. Last month, I declared no more octogenarian books in 2026. I’m holding to that. Technically. Because instead of reading another one, I watched a show featuring…wait for it…octogenarians. Sigh. Someday I’ll learn.…

What to read in August 2026
🎧 The Wedding People by Alison Espach It took me years to finish this book. I first picked it up as an eBook from the library back in 2024, but I couldn’t get into it. This month, I gave it another try as an audiobook and was pleasantly surprised. And when I say pleasantly surprised,…

Pigs of Norway
My husband loves to golf. He recently headed to Norway (because we don’t have enough courses here in Texas) to play a few rounds with friends. What did I get out of this, you might ask? In addition to a quiet house where I got to write in my pajamas all day, my husband sent…

What to read in July 2026
Back to drama This month’s books and shows leaned more women’s fiction than domestic thriller. And really, that’s a good thing if I want to sleep well at night. Trust me, I want to sleep. Grouchy Carole is no fun. Here’s July’s lineup. 🎧 The First Time I Saw Him by Laura Dave I read…

June 2026 Progress and Projects: An Author’s Writing Update
Remember back in May when I bragged about my daughter creating a spreadsheet to track my writing? I was so excited. No more recording numbers on a piece of scratch paper, trying not to lose that paper, and then adding everything up by hand. Yeah. Well. I broke it. Don’t ask me how. You can…

What to read in June 2026
Dystopian, Apparently Last month’s dark comedy experiment seems to have lingered. I didn’t set out to read and watch more dystopian-themed books and shows this month, but here we are. June’s story consumption took a darker turn, with thrillers, questionable realities, secretive people, and one very lonely woman in a world gone weird. While a…
