Blog postI mean, is it really? Give me a break!
Ok, so I collect black pens. I think they look neat. So, every time I get a chance to pick up a black pen (advertising pens, store pens, celebrity pens, ‘really cool looking’ pens) I do.
So, now I have a box full of black pens. Which mostly don’t work. (but they are very attractive)
What do you collect?
I also collect tee shirts.
The tee shirt thing might be more relevant, since I collect tee shirts from plac4 days ago Read more -

Blog postWhat happens to books that were only electronic?
I just finished a five-book series called “The Faerene Apocalypse”. It has to do with a generally benign invasion from the fantasy world across the ‘veil’ and their intent is to save Earth from being invaded by the ‘Kvstm’ who will enslave the entire population of Earth and sell us off or breed us as needed. Sounds pretty grim. Unfortunately to arrive at saving the Earth, the Faerene must kill off six billion of the seven billion inhabi1 week ago Read more -

Blog postWe’re living in the future, now.
I suppose this is more accurate for the older folks among us, but the upshot of it all is that we’re living in the future of where we thought we’d be when we got older.
I mean, we used to see these pictures of teardrop shaped cars, and flying automobiles, and cars that transformed into boats. And to some extent, yes, that is the future. For the most part, though it still is. Maybe not with the teardrop shaped cars, I think we’ve been there, don2 weeks ago Read more -

Blog postThis isn’t so much ‘how I write’ as how I think. I would guess that just about everyone has a different way of thinking.
Now, my characters simply live inside my head, and when I write dialog, it never comes from me, at least not directly. Or at least it doesn’t seem to me that it does.
I was considering a couple days ago that Jane and her friends like chips and salsa and nacho chips, and in fact a lot of their lives seems to revolve around having said items.

Blog postSo, I was contemplating my cookie dough last night. Part of my diet that started years ago was that I’d behave all week and reward myself with a quarter batch of chocolate chip cookie dough on Thursday nights.
As it got to be more of a regular thing, it grew, and I wound up freezing lumps of it. BUT that’s not the point.
The flour bag has a warning on it. A warning. On the flour bag. “Flour is raw, don’t eat without cooking.”

Blog postOk, it’s almost Easter. So it’s somewhat appropriate to write a piece on Easter. And this serves as your warning that there’s some religious content below, so beware!
Being a Christian, it’s probably not the best idea to say that I think it’s possible that the secular holidays of Christmas and Easter have helped keep the Christian faith alive and well.
Does that sound too bizarre?

Blog postI’ve got a problem with ‘deserve’.
I guess it comes from the feeling that the universe doesn’t owe me anything. I mean, the word ‘deserve’ seems to say that I’ve pre-loaded Karma and it now owes me something. Which, all things considered, I don’t consider that to be true.
Unless you believe in ‘an all powerful Force controlling … everything’. Of course, I do believe in that, but I don’t think that praying to God or doing the right number of Hail Mary’s or kissing a ring2 months ago Read more -

Blog postEver think about how much we discount our kid’s feelings?
I mean, they’re kids, right? They don’t have the depth of knowledge or the experience we have, so of course, their feelings are less valid.
But are they?
It goes the other way, as well. Since they don’t have that heartbreak, that disappointment, that feeling that no one cares anyhow already baked into their life, is their disappointment, their heartbreak, cleaner and more valid than our own?

Blog postWe were sitting in the condo on vacation, and drifting in through the open door was a plaintive little voice, “Mom, come help me float!”. You know the voice, the one that comes from your three-year-old who needs you to let them know it’s safe to do something on their own.
Sometimes it also comes from your thirty-three-year old. And sometimes at 60, I still get the impulse to ask my mommy about something. Or my daddy, for that matter. Although, my dad’s been gone for a couple years now2 months ago Read more -

Blog postWe went to a hypnosis presentation a few days ago. It’s called “Colin Mochrie’s Hyprov” and it’s extremely entertaining.
The basics – when people buy their tickets, they’re given an opportunity to sign up to be a volunteer in the audience. Now, I’m not sure if that’s how they do it every time, but that’s how they did it for our show.
Then, 20 of those people are picked at random and come out of the audience at the start of the show. 20 chairs are out on the stage, and the 20 p2 months ago Read more -

Titles By V.R. Tapscott
A chocolate Cake.
A doomed relationship. Or two.
Jane’s life as an elementary school librarian gets sidetracked when she digs up the AI pilot of a 140 million year-old spacecraft.
Now, she’s running all over the world looking for spaceship parts, falling in and out of love and trying to keep her friends from thinking she’s crazy.
To make matters worse, the ship she’s recovering is starting to sound a bit more like the Death Star than the Millennium Falcon.
When did life get so complicated?
Join Jane for high-tech gadgets, action, adventure, and an alien intelligence for a sidekick, because it's just as much fun to watch her get into trouble as seeing her get out of it!
Cages and robots and zombies, oh my!
Jane finds zombies, spaceships and Bill Clinton's saxophone.
Also, monster trucks in Australia and huge space ships.
And car snacks.
And Olive made maple-bacon waffles. And pancakes.
And Kit showed up.
You’re gonna love this one!
Fun PG rated science fiction with 63% more guns than previous books!
Well, technically, that's not true.
Jane's first outing is a missing persons case - the client's husband had vanished nearly twenty years before.
As usual, Jane, Bailey and Olive wind up running all over the world looking for clues.
Romance blooms for both Bailey and Olive, but Jane gets her share with Dale.
And Jean, the computer that runs Jane's house, winds up far more visible than just quarreling with Alexa over who is really in control.
Another rollicking adventure with Jane and friends awaits - won't you join them?
...on the Dark Side of the Moon.
In the hospital, no one can hear you scream...
...for nachos, ice cream, and chocolate. And maybe some nice maple-bacon waffles. Jane's back home after her encounter on the moon with the artifact that left a ping-pong ball-sized hole through her. She's getting used to apple sauce and a lot of video games.
Meanwhile, her friends take a few day trips including an ironic trip to Roswell, NM. They wind up getting in trouble all over the world while Jane rests up. And none of it was Olive's fault. Really!
Then, Jane's attacker shows up again...
..and the devastation it leaves behind is heartrending.
Will Jane and her friends find a way to track and destroy the creature? Or will they live with a death threat hanging over their heads?
You'll love this next entry into Jane's world, because we all love to watch Jane find her way out of every hole she gets into.
Get it now!
Black Helicopters, smoking guns, and an evil that won’t stay dead.
With the Queen’s sights set on another world, can Lacey, Alex and Stevie stop her?
Or should they just go back to selling coffee and cooking breakfast?
The stakes keep getting higher, and the AI Jean brings in help - her friend Jess, Alex’s dead grandfather, and an upcycled 1940’s aircraft carrier.
But will even that be enough to put Evelyn back in the morgue for good?
Find out as they take the battle to Chicago, the Queen’s home turf!
Fully prepped spaceship - check.
Fully trained and ready to ... pilot? PILOT??
Jane’s got her own spaceship, but she has no idea how to even get it out of the garage, let alone fly it. No worries, everything’s under control - meet Olive, Jane’s new pilot!
In this sequel to Jane Bond, Jane finds some very interesting things in the basement left behind when Kit went away. Among them is a fully operational space ship.
After an almost shattering start, Jane and her friends are globetrotting again, with the addition of Olive to pilot the ship - and make pancakes. Olive isn’t a real person, but she’s working hard at becoming one - and learning how to make pancakes and waffles along the way.
Because, who knew pancakes were so important?!
Still, will pancakes be enough to deal with Jane’s mom AND what lies on the Dark Side of the Moon?
Buy it now, before it's digitally gone! (Don't worry, I saved a copy for you.)
Lacey & Alex, roommates in San Francisco, are a barista and a cook by day.
By night though, Lacey is a part time private investigator and Alex talks to plants. And they talk back.
In this book, they get dragged into hunting for a lost dagger. Of course, it winds up being so much more than simply a lost dagger. The pair spend a couple of action-filled weeks travelling from San Francisco to Los Angeles, Barstow to Vegas and all parts between in their hunt for the elusive artifact.
They meet up with loose cannon Stevie, and step it up a notch with exploding cars and tension of a whole nother kind, as she makes it clear what she thinks of Lacey. Olive from Jane Bond shows up with a little tiny insignificant part (heh) and Jane herself has a cameo. Join Lacey & Alex and Stevie as they have the adventure of a lifetime!
Talking plants, explosions, gunfire, mayhem, magic and a little bit of romance all enter the picture before the end, in this slightly humorous, slightly serious, and always fun mystery.
Can Lacey & Alex, Stevie and their friends bring her down?
Or will Evelyn's new world be subjected to waves of death resulting in millions of people being terminated?
Let's find out together, shall we?
Our heroes wind up in a “whole new world” where steam and mechanical cogs are king, hydrogen balloons still roam the earth, and an evil Queen holds sway over her people.
Alex has been drawn there to take the place of the recently assassinated “Lady”, and Lacey is her “Knight” - the former Lady and Knight having been killed by the Queen.
In this new world, Alex can do far more than simply talk to plants, and Lacey is “hot” in a whole new way. But, will it be enough to depose the Queen and save the world?
