Valerie Comer‘s Raspberries and Vinegar releases today (at least, I think it’s today — it’s already shipping from Amazon). Valerie’s motto is “Where Food and Faith meet Fiction” and it’s spawned a new genre called Farm Lit. Raspberries and Vinegar is the first in a three book series about three … Continue reading →
Everyone, including the vet, seems to have survived and perhaps thrived as a result of our vacation time away.

I travel with an 11″ MacBook Air, an iPad2, and an iPhone5 (32G). My husband travels with a 15″ Sony desktop … Continue reading →
