Sweet Romance, Cozy Mysteries, Classic Westerns. Thursday, August 13, 2015. Surviving Jury Duty with Jamie and Claire. Anyone who has served as a potential juror knows it's a day of waiting. You arrive at the courthouse with your morning coffee balanced in one hand and a bag with snacks and reading material in the other. In my county, the juror pool is huge. Several hundred people sit and wait for their number to be called. I had to know if Jamie and Roger got to Bree in time. No spoilers, I promise.

The Wild Rose Press. Wednesday, May 20, 2015. View From My Window By Fran Mcnabb. You’re probably asking, “Who is this person? Instead of giving you a typical bio, I simply want to show you where I write. I think my writing space says a lot about me. I live on a quiet bayou harbor on the Gulf Coast, and I do most of my writing from a chase lounge in a sunroom that overlooks the harbor. From here I can watch the activity on the water as I find inspiration for my writing. Http:/ www.FranMcNabb.com. I love ...

Sweet Romance, Cozy Mysteries, Classic Westerns. Monday, March 30, 2015. Deborah M. Nolan. Deborah M. Nolan. I always wondered how I would deal with being trapped in a small space or held prisoner.

No We didn’t know each other at all. But the universal question does make sense. Did I mention this was the sixties?

Sweet Romance, Cozy Mysteries, Classic Westerns. Monday, June 29, 2015. I married into a large family. My husband is one of 8 children, a typical Irish Catholic family, a phenomenon from another era. I’m one of 4, all of us born within 5 years, another variation of the Irish Catholic practice of the ‘50’s. Between the two of us we have 10 siblings. Fast forward to the present. My children who are in their early thirties have 25 first cousins. We are now at the stage of weddings and new babies. An opportu...
