The Witches Have Arrived!

I'm so happy and excited to announce the arrival of The Witches of Moonlight Ridge! My book is available right now on Kindle, and the paperback can be purchased from Amazon online. 

In the second book of The Moonlight Ridge Series, Lily Claire and Willie T. are back and as spunky as ever! With seasons changing on the mountain, the two intrepid kids venture into new territories, meet surprising new characters, and learn that the mysteries and magic on Moonlight Ridge continue to lead them into new adventures.

Just in time for the holidays, The Witches of Moonlight Ridge is a terrific gift for all book lovers. 

The Witches of Moonlight Ridge

Exciting news! Volume Two of The Moonlight Ridge Series is almost here! 

I'll soon be announcing the release date for The Witches of Moonlight Ridge, and what better way to welcome good old Southern traditions like the witching season, Halloween festivities, family get-togethers, and tales to tell on windy autumn nights!

Lily Claire and Willie T. are back, and in fine form! They meet new friends and some suspicious characters as seasons change, autumn leaves fall, and old legends come to life out on the mountain. 

I'll post updates and announcements of book release, book signings, and events.  

What Did You Dream Last Night?

Last night, as so often happens, Robert Redford was in my dream! His visits are always such a delight. Last night I dreamed that we were at a street fair, and we stopped so that Bob (Robert Redford) could give a woman his autograph. 

In the process, somehow he managed to deface a stone marker, and a mob of angry people 

began to chase us. 

While Bob got clean away, I inadvertently became trapped in a chicken-wire enclosure covered with flowers and vines, just like Peter Rabbit caught in the gooseberry net.

As the crowd of angry street-fair attendants surrounded me. I managed to break free of the chicken wire and escaped in the nick of time.

Robert Redford and I met up with an old friend, Paul Gassenheimer, whose picture I can't find, so just imagine a short curly-haired guitar player with a mustache.

Some young guy that I didn't know offered us a tiny jar of creme because we all had become sunburned at the street fair, and I put some on my arm and said "Wow, a little of this goes a long way!"

And that was the end of that dream.

This all reminds me of one of my favorite Guster songs, "I Spy."

The Library Cats

Have you found anything interesting at your public library lately?

 This is Buttercup, found on the sidewalk outside the Library door. "Look, this kitten was obviously in someone's car engine!" Lost an ear and part of her tail. Now she's all grown up, and she's my Princess Buttercup.

This is Allistair. Roamed the mean streets on cold winter's days. Then got trapped in an empty building beside the Library. "Did you know there's a white cat trapped in that building next door, sleeping in the window?"  Now he''s my big snow cat, a big baby who loves to be petted, and loves to sit on the couch, where he's not supposed to be.

 

And this is Geffen, our most recent Library find. A patron walked up to the circulation desk and asked "Does anyone want this kitten? I found him in the parking lot." Now he's my spoiled and very cuddly baby.
