Tuesday I was the invited author and guest at Grove’s Elementary school in Wylie’s first PTA Reading Night. What a great audience of teachers, parents and children. I started by sharing a little bit about why I wrote Katie and the Magic Umbrella and my vision for Katie and future books. Then we turned down [...]
This past weekend I hosted a booth at the Junior League of Arlington’s Holiday Magic gift market. I can say that it was 3 full days of hard work, but the people and the atmosphere made it so much fun. Between meeting and greeting, I did have some time to get a little of my [...]
Each week, I get so many emails from fans and folks wondering and worrying about the weather. I’d like to start posting answers to some of your questions.

That’s what my friend Heywood at 95.9 The Ranch called it today. Of course, he’s kidding. But it has been a very wet fall. I’ve had so many people ask why has it been so wet lately. The short answer…an unusually active jet stream that’s been unusually far south for this time of year. It [...]
Dust off those winter jackets and dig around in your closet…by late this weekend, you’ll be needing that coat and sweater… An unusually strong, early-season arctic front is beginning to march across Montana and Wyoming tonight. I just spoke with my mother who lives in NW Montana, and she told me that they are forecasting [...]
Two cold fronts will impact North Texas this week. The first one arrives this afternoon bringing most of us a good shot at storms. Heavy rain and a few storms may contain hail. The best chance for severe weather will be near the Red River this morning and near and south of the DFW area [...]
