More Episodes Added Tonight
I just added three more episodes to Her Alien Children on Kindle Vella tonight, bringing the total to 16. My goal is to wrap up the series with episode 20, so we are getting close to finding out who keeps taking Bella captive, and why. Take a look at the first three episodes for free […]
Air Fryer Apple Pie Balls
I was looking for things I could cook in my new Air Fryer, and stumbled upon the most delightful apple pie dessert I’ve had in a long time! The original recipe that I based mine on was from Amanda Rettke-iambaker.net. I used the Shaw’s Signature store-brand apple pie filling which wasn’t too sweet. In fact, […]

Reaching Kindle Vella on Amazon
It seems like the Vella roll-out was a little bit quirky, at least for me. I found it a bit unclear with no directions on how to direct our readers to the Kindle Vella Store to find our stories, but I think it’s all good now. I’ve tested out a couple of links, copied them […]

Don’t you just love Mark Twain?
I love his quotes, because he speaks to us as though he knows we are aware of our human imperfections and are doing our best to survive them. We know our own failings as well as our successes. Some that are generic to the human race are comical when you take a wide angle lens […]
