First Book Blues
My first novel, Tea With Nanny , was self-published in 2017 on Amazon: it originated from a creative writing course in college in 1985. Although I had wonderful relationships with both of my grandmothers, my paternal grandmother, "Nanny" and grandfather- "Paw-Paw", (by her second marriage, never really knew my biological grandfather) held a considerably significant influence in my childhood, thus the photo of Nanny as a young woman on the cover.

Dear Daughter
Hi Boo, (Mushy Warning) Thoughts of you were alive and breathing before you were ever born, before I ever met you: our love was conceived in fate. I did not know when you would arrive or how you would become part of my life, yet I had a deep notion that your special soul would enter my world somehow, someday.

Within Basil's Cellar
"There was only one rule: don't open the door!" Thea laughed at the memory of her room-mates seriousness when she spoke of the cellar door outside Professor Basil's home. Alit with soft, golden candles, his home was inviting, even romantic, not at all something to fear.

Old Enough
Pearl swung around the second my feet touched the kitchen tile and began the introductions to our new somebody hired for help. - "Well 'morning sleepy head, I got someone who wants to meet you!"- Yeah right, she's dying to meet me, the one who will give her some quick news, I am in need of no mindin' and I don't plan on listening to a dang word you say!-

Larry, C'mon!
I know you think I'm on repeat, but c'mon! You know I meant well! This whole mess is not my fault! I didn't go to one rally, listen to any speeches, or watch the conventions! I don't even follow the headlines! Heck, I don't even have a duck-darn television. - How can I be responsible for Geese Without Borders? We immigrate every year! I had nothing to do with any of it- you know me, Larry! -
