Supporting Other Artists Instead

I HAVE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL PYROGRAPHER FOR A LONG TIME If you've followed me for very long, you know that I'm not only a fiction author, but I'm also an artist. In fact, I started burning art onto wood and leather, an art form known as pyrography, long before I began my adventure into writing fiction. And I love my craft. I have had the honor of creating custom-burned pieces, surprisingly many of them memorial pieces, over the years. And those...
Coffee, Biscotti, and Espresso Beans

Resurrecting Brown Paper Coffee Company

ABOUT BROWN PAPER COFFEE COMPANY My passion for great coffee and pastries began with a Swedish mother who was an avid baker and loved a steaming cup of the fragrant brew. In 1997, that passion grew into a mail-order gourmet coffee, biscotti, loose tea, specialty hot cocoa, and accessories company called Brown Paper Coffee Company - or BPCC - for short. After four years in business, we had to let it go. Now, more than 20 years later, I am...
Best Tracy - Tyler, TX Closet 3-10-2022

Welcome to my Closet Office

I've nicknamed this closet office my Cloffice. This is where I'm setting up a temporary work space until we move out onto our own acreage. Jeff and I moved from Forest Grove, Oregon to Tyler, Texas, last week. We set up short-term housing in a nice, gated apartment community while we search for land to build our off-grid "forever home." We are in a very spacious 1-bedroom, 3rd-floor apartment. This is a big change from the 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath...

About The Originally Scheduled Release Date for The Magical Legacy

Release Date Back Story After publishing The Golden Telescope on December 22nd, 2019, I decided I wanted to release at least one book in my Jack and the Magic Hat Maker series each year until it's done.  I also discovered fiction author Sarra Cannon's YouTube channel and learned about the Rapid Release method for building a large following for your book series, which is brilliant. This system says to write several books before publishing any...

My New Obsession: Juliet Marillier Audio-Books

Pyrography Projects – In Progress: July 13, 2021

Current Pyrography Projects I pretty much always have several pyrography projects in progress at any given time. Unless these burnings are for a paying client, I take my time on pieces, working on each as the mood strikes me. For some, I might set them aside for weeks or months before I feel like getting back to them. Sometimes that's because my schedule is just too full with other work to devote time to my personal "just for fun" projects. But...

Video Blast From the Past

Wow. As I’m building out this website I decided to search my computer for old content from my other psychic and tarot sites of the past. A text file came up with some links to YouTube videos. These are from a channel I started back when I had my Psychic Blessing website in 2012 or so. And when my hair was dark…as it was for 10 years. I spent a few minutes re-watching these and getting a kick out of the really terrible video quality. Things...
