Thanks for stopping by.  If you’re new to my website, I’m the author of over thirty romantic fiction novels, and a series of short stories I call  Flirts. I love to tell a story that sometimes makes you laugh, sometimes makes you cry, often has a surprise or two, but always ends happily ever after.

I live in the Dallas area with my husband, a rescued German Shepherd who believes himself to be the neighborhood goodwill ambassador (the German Shepherd, not my hubby),  a fifty-pound American Pit Bull who is convinced he's a lapdog.  Occasionally I get to puppysit my Golden Retriever  grandpuppy.  All dutifully sit at my feet as I write my next story.

So come on in, explore my pages, and see what's in store for you!

Did you notice my little absence last week? 

Tuesday after my blog, I flew home. Should have known something was off when I only got through a few pages of edits on Baron book four and then promptly fell asleep. Unless I'm flying across the pond, I never sleep on a plane. Always work. 

Well, by Wednesday morning it was pretty clear I'd caught a stomach bug. A dear friend was kind enough to pick me up some chicken soup and I was sure that in a couple of days what we lovingly referred to growing up as Jewish Penicillin would do the trick.  Except that by Wed night my aunt called to tell me one of the four had tested positive for Covid. Sure enough - me too. 

Until two weeks ago I had never heard of Gastric Covid. Always assumed it was a pulmonary virus who knew it could also be the stomach bug from hell!  And hell it was.  For almost ten days I was the equivalent of sea sick. Nausea was king. Sleep eluded me. Brain fog set in. and well getting out of bed was so not an option.  I did finally to a tele health visit and got on some meds. While that did make me feel a bit less seasick, it was still another week before normal set in.  Even today, almost two weeks down the road, I'm still very tired and slow to respond, but I can walk without falling over and am pretty darn hungry most of the day, so that's a good thing! 

last night hubby made pre-packaged barbecue pork. I ate a bunch of it and felt fine. SO happy to be on the mend. My biggest problem is everything tastes very salty. I'm sure that will fix itself soon too! 

Since I'm still very very tired, there's nothing new to report on any front - no book info, kitchen info, but I am praying to be 100% by Saturday because that's when I have to babysit the grandbaby for a week so everyone start saying your prayers for me. 

​Will report back next week!  Thanks for sticking with me!

Oh no, that sounds terrible. I hope you get 100% so you can look after your little grandbaby. They do take a lot out of you at our age. I'll say a prayer or few for you. Get lots of rest.

thank you - I believe strongly in the power of prayer - I honestly do not remember being this sick ever before so it's wonderful to truly be on the road to recovery!
