Writing Stuff, Thinking Things, Going Places. CALL THE MIDWIFE calls to my heart. March 24, 2015. If you really want to read a heartfelt memoir of a nurse’s experiences in trying circumstances, maybe it’s time to read the books as I did. Purchase these books as a boxed set or individually. Jennifer Worth’s memoir of being a midwife in 1950s London is a fascinating slice of social history. It wasn’t long after WWII and London was still recovering from the devastating effects of that war. Other stories cov...

Writing Stuff, Thinking Things, Going Places. When You’re Sick…Be Very Very Good. March 31, 2015. Photo courtesy of https:/ therainbowcollector.wordpress.com. Recently, I got sick. Very sick. Probably the sickest I’ve ever been with a hemoglobin that dropped to one third of what it should be. Several days in bed in the hospital getting blood… Just what the doctor ordered. Well, turns out it becomes really boring after about five minutes, especially in the circumstances I experienced. March 31, 2015.

Two TV Shows I’m Not Watching Again | Ruby On Tuesday
https://rubypjohnson.wordpress.com/2015/04/14/two-tv-shows-im-not-watching-again
Writing Stuff, Thinking Things, Going Places. Two TV Shows I’m Not Watching Again. April 14, 2015. Normally, I don’t watch reality TV, but I watched two shows for the first time this year. They are actually in their second seasons and I fail to see how they got renewed. But I guess everyone likes to watch a train wreck.These programs stood out as shows with characters that I just couldn’t connect with. There are many others but these two just did it for me.

REVIEW: THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN BY PAULA HAWKINS | Ruby On Tuesday
https://rubypjohnson.wordpress.com/2015/06/30/review-the-girl-on-the-train-by-paula-hawkins
Writing Stuff, Thinking Things, Going Places. REVIEW: THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN BY PAULA HAWKINS. June 30, 2015. This book had an exciting premise and interesting structure told from three different points of view. However, the beginning was awkward and a bit uninteresting and if I hadn’t been encouraged to continue reading I would have abandoned it after the first chapter. No They weren’t likeable or empathetic, but were indeed well-crafted. June 30, 2015. FOUR ROMANCES AND A TASKFORCE THRILLER REVIEW.

Up In Flames | Ruby On Tuesday
https://rubypjohnson.wordpress.com/2015/07/15/up-in-flames
Writing Stuff, Thinking Things, Going Places. July 15, 2015. If you like romance it’s in this book. Like a little mystery? It’s in this book along with ghosts. I liked the change from the same plots and premises found in most romances. Some pretty strange stuff has happened in my life in the past few days, so I’m doing what we writers do: I’m writing about it. The truth is, my present work-in-progress has taken a hit. A rather dramatic, fiery one. My next ghost-romance,. Spirits of the Heart. Nellie Sher...

Writing Stuff, Thinking Things, Going Places. Review: Falling Like Snowflakes by Denise Hunter. June 23, 2015. Denise Hunter has written a another superb romance. She excels at description and one can really almost feel like they are in a small New England Town. What I liked: The element of mystery and the slow building love between the characters. Yes to anyone who likes a romance without every chapter filled with explicit sex. June 23, 2015. Stocking Stuffers: Christmas Themed Romances. Nellie Sheridan...

Three Places in Texas to Visit in Spring | Ruby On Tuesday
https://rubypjohnson.wordpress.com/2015/04/21/three-places-in-texas-to-visit-in-spring
Writing Stuff, Thinking Things, Going Places. Three Places in Texas to Visit in Spring. April 21, 2015. Bluebirds have returned and are busy nesting in the houses I provided for them. The daffodils have bloomed now and they are being replaced with bearded Iris, roses and azaleas. Tyler has beautiful azaleas in spring. Though they grow here, it’s much harder because of the alkaline soil unlike cities close to Louisiana. And finally in Texas, there’s always the coast. April 21, 2015. Enter your comment here.
