Thanks for stopping by my website and virtual home. This is where I blog about writing my West River Mystery series, as well as about \u00a0living with and feeding my husband, daughter, son-in-law, their two kids (a boy and a girl), and two dogs who inhabit our multigenerational home in central Iowa. It\u2019s a crazy and complicated life and I\u2019m always hunting for ways to simplify things.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Every once in a while, I do the same thing at my website. Think of it as the virtual equivalent of decluttering closets and cupboards\u2013\u2013keeping what brings joy and letting go of the rest. It\u2019s a good thing to do, except when I look for something in the place where it used to be, but it\u2019s not there.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I don\u2019t want my decluttering and rearranging to frustrate you, so use the boxes below to help you find the post you\u2019re looking for. If you have questions or want to schedule an event, you can send an email by clicking either the \u201cContact\u201d button in the menu bar or at the bottom of this page.<\/div>\n
