Merry Christmas!

Sorry for the radio silence.  I always take December off for family, faith, and, well… just to relax and enjoy all the festivities. Come January I will start back up on Stolen Sun and posting more regularly on TAP. I wish you all a Merry Christmas! God bless you all and I hope you have […]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wishing all my American readers a Happy Thanksgiving Day! I hope you all enjoy time with your families, and I thank you for continuing to follow me and read my stories. God bless you all! Now get off the internet,  go eat, watch football, spend time with loved ones, and enjoy your day! And if […]

A Tale of Two Tinks

Every year around Christmas, my mom, sister, and I go Christmas shopping together. It’s a no-boys-allowed affair (though we did make an exception one year for my awesome nephew, that is another story). It has become one of our many traditions. This year, my daughter-in-law will get to come, but I digress; this is about […]

Fall = Happy

I know I say it every year, so why break tradition? I’m SOOOO ready for Fall! Not only do I love the cooler weather, but we usually get rain too and I love rain as well. I write better in the fall. I’m not sure why. Maybe it’s because I want to be inside where […]

Blog Update

As you can see I have changed the blog name.  The Amourous Pigeon was chosen in honor of Vivian, a character in Stolen Sun. I plan on using only one blog for both my pen names.  It just takes too much time to write two separate blog posts.  And though I do enjoy blogging, I […]

Old Movies

Is it just me, or has Hollywood really gone downhill? For the most part, movies lately are complete and utter trash. I can’t remember the last time I went to the theater. True, I prefer watching movies at home where I can pause them, but there have not been any movies that looked so good […]

Where Are You Autumn?

So, I have chickens living in my house… How is that for a conversation starter? Fall is my favorite season, but this year I’m really looking forward to it. It’s been one of those summers… Not only would I like to start my fall garden, I want my game room back. The chickens spend the night in […]

Texas Pride

I’m just starting back to work on a series I’ve been wanting to write for a long time. The series is set in my home state of Texas. And I got to thinking about past stories I’ve written set in Texas. I had one editor that constantly wanted to change my words. You see non-Texans […]

Small Towns

I’ve been reading a lot of cozy mysteries lately and the one thing they all have in common is small towns. I love small towns. Not just reading about them, but being in them. There is just something about them that makes them well… cozy. I did not grow up in a small town, though […]

My Christmas Market Experience

originally posted on my old blog in 2018 If you aren’t familiar with Christmas Markets, they are quite popular in Europe. There is a nice little documentary on Amazon about Christmas Markets called The Seasoned Traveler Christmas Markets if you are interested. One of the most famous is the Christkindlemarkt in Nuremberg, Germany. Christkind means Christ […]
