Charlotte Bronte’s literary masterpiece of Jane Eyre is a classic for good reason. It’s a little bit of a Cinderella story, somewhat a message of repentance, an illustration of learning through life and a good deal romantic. Yes, the story is a melodramatic one, but it is great melodrama. This memorable novel from one feminine…

Seeing Seattle Again
In a recent trip back out to Seattle area, I felt the formidable homesick pull once more. It’s always exciting to head towards the Emerald City territory again, and it’s always very hard for me to leave it. My heart has been a good deal in the Seattle East Side since long before I met…
Cowboys and Indians and Cowgirls and Horses
In growing up, I played a game called ‘Cowboys and Indians’ with my siblings, cousins and friends. Have you ever heard of that action-packed thriller? Did you ever play that interactive, intense, improvisational and interplay game as a kid like I did? If you are older than ‘political correctness’ and grew up in North America,…
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
Being a little bit Irish, myself, and being named originally for ‘Kerry County’, Ireland, I always hope that a little of the luck o’ the Irish is in me. My typical luck is definitely the kind of ‘Irish style’ luck such as, ‘oops, I stepped in something yucky: lucky part Irish me, I wasn’t wearing…
To be or not to be…
… a romance novelist? That was my question. Yes, that was one of my questions in life at least twenty years ago. When I first explored the possibilities of writing fiction (because ideas were pouring into my little brain by leaps and bounds, and almost by the minute), one thing I told myself was that,…
Happy 200th Birthday, Charles Dickens!
From ‘A Christmas Carol’ to my other favorite classics that Dickens penned, I have enjoyed many of his characters and stories, though I do hope and plan to read and see more as time goes on. I’ve barely scratched the surface where Charles Dickens’ literary works are concerned, perhaps because they can be a bit…
Happy Orthodox Christmas!
Another excuse to extend all things good and joyous of the Christmas season, and to remember the birth of the baby Jesus, our Savior, is always a good thing to me. I can play and sing Christmas songs all the longer. I can watch any Christmas themed movie that I missed out on. I can…
Happy Boxing Day!
According to Canada, Britain and other Commonwealth countries I’m familiar with, I guess I’m supposed to box up everything Christmas today, but I refuse. I choose to relax. And I want to enjoy the tree, the lights, the stockings, the candles, the foods and drinks, the music, a few more movies and all things yuletide…
Happy Holidays!
Happy Eve of Christmas Eve! Happy Hanukkah! Happy Christmas Eve! Golly shucks and jolly holiday preps, it’s time for me to get crazy busy finishing up everything! Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night! And for day after tomorrow, on Christmas Day… . Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Nativity, How lovely is thy spirit….
The Christmas Pixie
Have you ever been pixied? At Christmastime or any other time? Have you ever been a pixie of any kind? Do you know the delight of receiving pixie gifts? Do you know the joy of pixie-gifting another? Now, why do I not say Christmas Elf rather than Christmas Pixie? I do know that some others…
