This one I've been writing for about a year. It's an age-gap romance. It covers topics of revisiting past pain and moving forward. I've been writing it under the working title " Trying to Love You ," which was inspired by the Trisha Yearwood song with the same title. It's one of the many great songs on her  Jasper County CD .   My original idea for the book was that it would be about a woman trying to show an older woman that she could love her if the older woman would just let her.  As I wrote the story and it evolved, it immediately became more about the older woman, Cam, who is forced to face the past where she grew up in rural Indiana, a place she had not revisited in a very long time. When Cam picks up a younger woman at a gay bar in Indianapolis, she has no idea that she ...

 Can you believe it's already May? And the Kentucky Derby just happened over the weekend. Most people probably don't care, but it's a big deal here in Kentucky, although I never watch it. Someone told me the horse that won was supposed to be a descendant of the Secretariat. That's a famous horse the was the subject of a movie.  I've been working on this post for a couple of days and was going to put on a recipe to celebrate Cinco De Mayo, but that has already passed too. I did go to a Mexican restaurant for dinner on Sunday and had a very yummy vegetarian chimichanga.  Here's a picture of me with my mouth full, totally unaware that my daughter was taking the picture. That cute little girl is my youngest granddaughter, Deborah.  As I mentioned in my last post, there have been a lot  of changes in my life. I have a new apartment that I am slowly making my own. I have a new car and it's blue! My favorite color.  I have a new song that I've been wearing out....

2024 was a wild ride. One that I don't ever want to repeat. There have been a lot of changes in my life over this past year and I'm praying things are going to stay calm for a while. Melissa Etheridge's CD "Your Little Secret" is probably my favorite of all her CDs. One song on there that summarizes this past year is "Change," which I have attached a link to the music on YouTube for your listening pleasure. But, as the song says, "The only thing that remains the same is change." It's true whether we like it or not. 2025 is starting off to a rocky start on many levels, but my goal for this year is to publish two new full-length books. I've started several over the past three years since I published "Learning to Love Again, " but I have not completed any of them. In fact, just about all of them have stalled out, but I believe that was due to my crazy personal circumstances. Things are calmer in my world, at least for the moment...
