It’s Fiction Friday, so you get another post from “guest blogger” and main character from my novel The Myth of Jake, Maggie Carlton. Today, she shares details from her first Thanksgiving since separating from her husband, Tom. I approached my first uncoupled Thanksgiving since Tom and I separated with much trepidation. The holiday landed on one […]
Fiction Friday : ‘I Forgot’
Nov 6th, 2015
Today’s “guest post” is authored by Maggie Carlton, the main character from my novel, The Myth of Jake, which you can buy here. To read Maggie’s first guest post, visit this page.

I am battling a cold. We’ve been cooped up since Tuesday afternoon, although we blessedly avoided the absolute horror that so many Atlantans faced that day and into the next. (By the way, that’s a picture from my kitchen of our Big Green Egg in the snow. We got a bit more than that, but […]
The holidays can wield such a double-edged sword, can’t they? On the one hand, this time of year is filled with family, friends, tradition, delicious food, and celebration.

On Truth and Turkey
Nov 25th, 2013
This may well be my only post this week. I am hosting Thanksgiving at my house and so I will be knee-deep in food prep, house cleaning (and restoration once they’re gone) and general holiday fun. I’ll post from time to time on social media, but won’t be back blogging full-time until after Thanksgiving. That […]
