Writing Leads to Shooting Good Fun!

Last night my husband and I took our seventeen-year-old daughter to a local indoor shooting range. Since we’re relatively new to the whole handgun thing, this was her first chance to shoot one.

Win a Kindle and Read a Great Book–The Stone Travelor by Kathi Oram Peterson

The last book on my catch-up review list is The Stone Traveler by Kathi Oram Peterson.

Hometown Girl by Michele Ashman Bell

Before my recent trip to Europe, I was given an electronic copy of Michele Ashman Bell’s new novel Hometown Girl. I uploaded it to my Kindle with a bunch of other books, and I was ready for anything. Layovers, plane delays, I didn’t care. I had BOOKS. Hometown Girl was the first I read. The […]
