Fun Friday: Oh, little one…
A theme that runs through my books is the extraordinary lengths some parents will go, to protect their children, so this video is for me, particularly heart-warming. I hope it tugs your heart strings, too. Happy Friday. Deborah Time is the longest distance between two places. ~Tennessee Williams

Angels Among Us
The Holiday season tends to disrupt the routine of all but the laser-focused amongst us; Christmas parties and socials, gift shopping and wrapping, baking, packing, hosting… A whole year of fun distractions and social-catch-up crammed into thirty-one days.

Summertime Christmas
I’ve been home all week working on final edits of My Own in preparation of sending it to my editor. Sporadically, I’ve been exchanging emails with the artist I hired to design three ebook/print book covers for my Dear One series. It’s been a quiet, and productive week. Quiet, because Hubs is out of town …
