It was my intention for this blog to be about my writing projects, but, as I've hinted in prior entries, life happens. Literally! My son Lee and daughter-in-law Elizabeth delivered (again, literally) a new life yesterday, shortly after noon. Everett, at 5 lbs 13 oz, is presently in Vanderbilt Hospital's NICU and will probably be there for about 2 months. Long story. Not for my blog. At least, not today's blog. But I had to share this with you. As you can read on my "About Me" page, I now have 3 grandchildren. Dang! Three grandchildren, and zero books published! My life is out of balance! Or is it? Family first!!!!!

If you haven't already done so, visit my "Freebies" page, where you will find some examples of my work, including a short story set in the latter days of the American Civil War.
