[Spotlight Post] Cheryl DuCoin and Christmas
The one moment of sadness in this Christmas was learning of Cheryl DuCoin’s passing. She was a lovely lady I met through John Moore. She was active in the Texas convention circuit. She would dress up with the Redheads and was an artist. I liked her a lot and she will be sorely missed. Many […]
[Spotlight Post] Old Friends Rediscovered and Retiring Icons
This is NOT a memorial post – dadgumit. It’s almost Christmas and I want happier topics. I got them in the last couple of days. I wish Terry Dorsey all the best in his retirement. Dorsey worked for KPLX when my dad started working in radio in Dallas/Fort Worth. Dad came to DFW to work […]
[Writing Post] Oops.
I’m so sorry. I missed the Wednesday Writer Post. I WISH I could say that I was working on the story I need to turn in this weekend. But alas, we were Christmas Shopping. This is the big/busy week prepping for holidays (and there’s still day job stuff going on). I am about to input […]
[Spotlight Post] Judy Crider – In Memoriam
I’m going to round out this Thanksgiving Week with a sad note. As lovely as Thanksgiving was – we celebrated with family at our house (as has been the case since Jimmy and I were married) – it did end with some bad news – the passing of a friend. I’d like to tell you […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Parafernalia Revolution Mechanical Pencil
The Parafernalia Revolution mechanical pencil was a strange and interesting thing I found at the Dallas Pen Show that I bought for Jimmy – he’s the pencil dude in the family. This was the “big” purchase, but it was totally worth it. The Perafernalia Revolution mechanical pencil is made in Italy developed by Sergio Carpani […]
[Spotlight Post] Day Job – So Long & Thanks for All The Fish
Today’s supposed to be a Spotlight Post day. A day where I pick someone at random and say nice things about someone else, but today it’s a bit different. Today is my last day of work at my current job. I started this job two years ago because I had to – and needed one. […]
[Spotlight Post] Early…Changes and Ducks
This isnt’ going to be a “traditional” Spotlight post – but hey, it’s also Thursday. I will be on the road a bit tomorrow heading to Tyler Rose City Comic Con to sell some books and hang with Timothy Zahn, Jeremy Clark, and a bunch of other awesome folks. If that’s your neck of the […]
[Writing Post] Writing, Birthdays, and Tyler Comic Con
It’s Wednesday blog day. I’ve been relatively productive in the last week. I’ve gone through two sections of Redheads twice for editing passes. There should always be at least two passes – one for story and things that jump out (words spelled into other words – for instance), and the second for more detailed looks. […]
