Really, I don’t have a green thumb. I can kill many a plant, some that are really hard to kill! What I do have is a willingness to try lots of different ways to get those plants to grow and produce. And more times than not, they do!

I will gladly let you! Now you realize I am a romance writer, right? I have been a romance reader for more years than not, and I love the fact that a real romance always ends with a “happily ever after.” At this point in my life, I’d rather read or watch a television program/movie that ends happily. I like suspense, but it’s always nice when there is a chance that the hero/heroine might end up together. They don’t have to, of course. Just the possibility of that is enough for me.

What I will not read are books that make me want to slit my wrists after reading them!

Thanks for your support!

I’ve liked a Facebook Page called Grow Food, Not Lawns. It’s a great place to get ideas for veggie gardening in “different” ways. I am amazed as to what lengths a person will go just to be able to grow their own food. Our current house has a back yard facing south with a large, empty space in the middle of the yard. I can’t wait to put in my raised bed in the middle of that space. I’ve heard that the more books you have out, the better self-publishing is. As a published author at The Wild Rose Press, I found that to be the case in all things publishing, whether you are publishing yourself or someone else is publishing your work. Get busy, girl!

I love gardening. I haven’t had a “real” garden in several years, but when I did, I grew everything. Since the housing complex I live in doesn’t allow gardening unless it can’t be seen from the street, I’m reduced to growing a few things in pots.

As far as self-publishing, I struck my foot in last summer. I need more titles out there, but it’s been a learning experience. Wish you loads of luck.

Ask away! If you want to grow cilantro outside, you need to do that now. Our cilantro is really taking off, and it hasn’t been affected at all by the freezing weather. Rosemary loves lots of sunshine, and can grow in just about any type of soil, so you must have it in a good place. Basil and parsley will do great in the summer heat. The cilantro will start to wither and go to seed once the really hot weather hits.
