Mission:Julia – First Clue

Ronie Uncategorized 4 Comments

The first clue arrived from Reece. it came in the form of an email. No location embedded. We’re at a loss. Can you help us out? TOO RISKY. YOU KNOW the DANGERS. GET HAMMERED THROUGH THE wood IF CAUGHT. That should lead you to one of the blogs. Let me know if you figure out. Remember, Julia’s life is at stake–so is the reward package that includes an iPod Nano!

Heartfelt Thanks to all Veterans

Deepest Appreciation to all who have fought for our country and freedom. Some of the men and veterans I know: my husband, my father, my father-in-law, my husband’s grandfather …and generations all the way back to General Washington himself. So many friends we met while at Ft Hood/Killeen. To friends now (I’ll get in trouble trying to remember everyone, I’m sure). THANK YOU ALL! This video is a tad longer than most tribute videos, but it’s moving.

Woot! New Look!

Well, it didn’t take me near as long as it usually does, but as you can tell, I’ve updated the site. What do you think? I really wanted to trick…er, convince people that I’m a professional, so this is the new ‘do’ for the blog. There are still some tweaking and perfectings going on–like, there’s supposed to be a red “splash” behind the titles on the left, but they aren’t there. Not sure why. Anywhooo…let me know what you think! Blessings, y’all!*edited: Thanks to Heather for helping me figure out what was wrong. Silly little endquote.

Fear Itself At Novel Journey

Well, y’all, it’s that time again–for my monthly post at Novel Journey. This time I’m talking fear. Or maybe NO FEAR!?!? LOL Take a gander at the article. Hope it helps someone! I’m up to my eyeballs in research and reading books. I am so glad God’s keeping me humble, and reminding me that I still have so very much to learn. But really…sometimes it’s quite daunting. I wish I had a “thinking” persona the way my husband does. Well…maybe not. I really like my ability to detect and understand what people are feeling. I think that’s what makes me a strong writer. So, I’m digging into book 2 of the Discarded Heroes, DIGITALIS. This time, it’s Colton’s story. And …

We Remember 9/11

I love this commercial made by Budweiser and aired once during the 2002 Superbowl. I remember crying back then, and I cried again today watching. Crying’s good–it reminds us of the hurt but that there is also healing, making us (please, God!) a stronger (more aware) nation.

Moving Right Along

Today, the book I ordered from Amazon on the recommendation of Colonel Hall, a chaplain who works for the VA in counseling PTSD victims, arrived. It’s called DOWN RANGE: to Iraq and Back. I’m really looking forward to reading it. Another book I’ve been working my way through (and I do mean *working* because it’s very emotionally wrenching) is WHAT WAS ASKED OF US: An Oral History of the Iraq War by the Soldiers Who Fought it. I’ve cried (a lot) and laughed (with the guys), and learned so much. I’ll keep you posted on my reading. Well, I have completed 2.5 rounds of edits and have received the first proofs for my spy thriller DEAD RECKONING. I have to …
