February brought about some changes that affected my budget. I know it was my intention to stay close to home and not do any out of town conventions this year, but an opportunity came up and I snatched it. I am going to be going to Literary Love Savannah in July this year. To do […]
So is everyone as ready for winter to be over as I am? I’m aching for the warmer temperatures. Those temps that are just right. Not too hot or not too cold. The prime time for walking my pugs who are very intolerant of cold and hot temps. I’d also like to see some green. […]
