Tell a Story Day is April 27

When I saw this holiday on a list, I thought, "How perfect for a writer!"

Though "Once upon a time..." as an opening line may be overused, I've used the story structure of fairy tales as a starting point to write books, and have presented a class on doing this. It's a familiar and fun way to help writers dig into a story and let your imagination soar!

Since I'm celebrating the release of book 3 of my Collie Chronicles series, I'm offering the first paragraph of each of the stories in that series here. Nope, I didn't use "Once upon a time..." in any of these openings, but hopefully have issued an invitation to readers to settle in and find out what happens next.

 At the same time Francesca Durand was born as a human, Chap the Collie arranged his arrival on Earth Three as a puppy.
    --From MORE THAN A HUMAN





 Francesca Durand dropped to her knees beside the freshly dug grave.
    --From MORE THAN JUST A DOG, book 1 of The Collie Chronicles

We have to go.
Chap put one paw on Francesca Durand’s shoulder and connected his thoughts with her dream world, projecting the scene of a fire.
 
    --From MORE THAN A STAR TRAVELER, book 2 of The Collie Chronicles
    Print version


I should not have let him go without me.
Chessie Durand stood with her Collie in front of the waterfall that hid the stargate at her mother’s farm on Earth Three.

Puzzle Piece #4


 

If you haven't seen the first pieces of the puzzle from Bernie's Legacy, my romantic suspense books, you can check them out here (first piece), second piece, and third piece. These puzzle pieces started out on Puzzle Day, January 29, 2021, and reflect my love of puzzles. 

The Bernie's Legacy series of ten books solves a piece of the puzzle in each book. However, the question posed in the first book, "Why did you do it?"--and whodunnit--is not resolved until the tenth book in the series. 


This piece of the puzzle from LIVING THE LEGACY:  Who is Sally Harris? Why does she have a special interest in Collin O'Shea? How is she connected to the sheriff?


I hope you have fun "puzzling out" the pieces of this series. 


Digital versions of the books

in the Bernie's Legacy series

are on sale for 

just 99 cents each!

Happy birthday to Quantum Canines!

We are 13 lucky years old!


Quantum Canines was born in April 2008. A sanctuary of a different breed to provide a home for beautiful doggies who came to begin a new life. With their love and healing and challenges, they continue to offer me lessons in how to heal myself.


In the mysteries of the Universe, my Collie also turned 13 this month, 

though he spent the first few years of his life with his "other mother."


Collies have been special guides to me throughout this life--

the first dog I remember was a Collie.


My Collie Chronicles series is a tribute 

to these beautiful and very special companions. 


Digital formats just 99 cents!
