Don't ask how, but my new 2026 Subura is scratched. I'm hoping someone knows a good repair man, or woman.

What a fabulous group of women. The LMDB Book Club selected Morningside Drive for their September read and wanted to meet me. I was thrilled to attend the meeting and answer their questions.

One of the questions was: If the book gets adapted for the screen, who would you like to play the main characters?

So . . . if you've read Morningside Drive, I'd love to hear your suggestions.

Thank you, LMDB, for inviting me and for lunch. For me as an author it was a lovely validating experience.

If your book club would like to met the author, please contact me a [email protected]

Happy Valentine's Day to family, friends and readers. Just when things aren't awful, they get worse. My husband fell while I was on a cruise. Our sweetheart daughter, Janine, handled the event beautiful. Nothing broken. Lots of bruising. I've been having back problems and have spinal stenosis, sacroiliac joint dysfunction and two other issues I refused to hear about. Otherwise we a doing fine.

Greetings from sunny Florida

Good Morning fellow writers. Cozy Mystery is my genre and I'm working on the sequel to Morningside Drive, Middle Seat Passenger, and I'm stuck. I want to find and work with a writing partner or critique buddy. Please let me know if you are interested.
Thank you. Claudia

I'm blaming the extreme pain in my leg from sciatica for my writers block and everything else. But rolled the Metaphor Dice and this is what my brain spit out.
The words; unruly, thunderstorm and power came up

Unruly thunderstorms have power. You can fear the outcome or accept the turmoil believing destruction is an opportunity.
(I know I wrote this this morning, however as I'm posting it wondering, who is this person? . . . just saying, Claudia
