Teasers of Things to Come!

Throughout this year I will be working on a book featuring short stories and poems from pictures that I have taken, paintings my oldest son has done,  and the word prompts from my writer’s group. I want it to depict the four seasons, spring, summer, fall, and winter. So I thought I’d give you a little …
