Behind the Quill with M.G. Miller

Behind the Quill is back with another great author interview. This time we get a glimpse into the life of the extraordinary M.G. Miller, author of Bayou Jesus. I’ll admit, I really liked this book.

My Inner Betty likes Mason Jar Salads

Okay, so lately my inner Betty has been on overdrive. Not only is she flipping the whip at me to get more organized, but now she’s on a “go green and get healthy” campaign. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve needed her to kick my butt into gear. Remember last week’s slide down the mountain of [...]

One Week Down – ROW80

The first week has now come and gone in my ROW80 challenge. How did I do? Eh, it wasn’t the best week but it wasn’t a complete loss, either. I didn’t meet my word goal this week. I’m kind of disappointed about this but I know why it happened, at least. I started a chapter [...]
