I’d like to introduce you to Jim Meier, the handsome star of Hungry Heart. Oh, hello there Jim. Don’t mind if I do… Those of you who have been around a while may recognize this book. Back when I wrote under the pen name Emma Foster, I released this book as five separate novellas called […]

Tacos, Gardens, Sci Fi
Here I go again, bitching about eating healthy. Three of my four kids claim they are vegetarian (even though the youngest hates all vegetables and indeed, most food) so by default we are eating mostly vegetarian food these days. I only prefer to cook meat because it’s easy and I don’t have to think about recipes, but […]
