Surfacing

by Sandra on February 17, 2013 · 0 Comments

OK. In my last post I bellyached about how I was away so much that it interfered with my having time to write any posts. I signed off by saying, “No more excuses.” I lied. I got pneumonia. Yep. Just like getting run over by a train. Knocked me silly and put me out of [...]

Fall update

by Sandra on November 13, 2012 · 0 Comments

If you sensed I was embarrassed when I wrote my last post, I am now mortified knowing it’s been so bloody long since I’ve been posting on a regular basis. My excuse?

Tales from Tortola … renos

OK. I confess. I’ve been delinquent. Funny how work gets in the way.  But I shouldn’t complain as freelancers are always looking for assignments. I just didn’t plan on writing six stories in 11 days! OIE! Now that I’m over the hump, it’s time I got back to my tales from Tortola! My plan is [...]

Thea Atkinson has written for money, but she prefers writing for passion. It’s just nice when the two find a way to cohabitate together. She has spent time as an editor, a photographer, a teacher and a writer. It’s the latter handle that she likes best. Thea’s written 10 novels and four are currently available [...]
