• Life from December 2013 to now May 2014

  I don’t know about you, but my life unraveled right at Christmas in 2013 and hasn’t settled yet and here it is May 2014. I miss being on my computer, posting reviews on great books, posting free books and reading about what everyone else is up to.  I haven’t touched my own draft of my…

• A morning nightmare for a mom, reviews for authors and AA New Leaf

  Yesterday was horrid. My older boy refused to get out of bed thus missing his bus.  Says he’s sick but also is upset about current events at school.  Called Dr. they said they wouldn’t see him for a note for school. Who said I wanted a note? I yelled out loud alone in the car…

• Got the domain but can’t polish it without more $$$ and publishing rants

  I just bought nightshadelane.com today. I’m disappointed that I can’t navigate this site as well as I usually can. This domain is named after the street I grew up on and miss.
