So What’s a Little Cat Fur?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Humor, Writing/ 9 Comments/ 162

Owners of cats (and dogs) understand. The battle with fur is real. Owning a Siberian cat who has three coats including one very fine undercoat leads to a lot of fur. Maksim is really good about letting me comb him daily and I swear the Continue reading →

Hold Them Close

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 10 Comments/ 233

We all know that life is too short and this past weekend that was affirmed once again by the horrific flooding of the River Guadalupe in Texas. The headlines that hit us all were the headlines sharing the news of the number of young campers Continue reading →

A Quick Look At Signs – Australia Style

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 41 Comments/ 618

When we were living in Australia one of the things that I loved was the wit and humor that was everywhere.  If there was an opportunity to make a little joke it was taken.  Words were used a bit differently than we use them in Continue reading →

Is It Just Me?

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 9 Comments/ 310

Maybe it is just me but the pandemic changed me. A lot. In a lot of ways. I have been thinking about this lately and wondered if any of my readers have felt a shift as well. The Covid 19 Pandemic really took a toll Continue reading →

Tough Lessons

Beth Ann Chiles/ Writing/ 10 Comments/ 297

Sometimes I just have to sit back and take a breath. I find that that is one thing that is not always easy for me. I seem to be learning that lesson over and over again lately. It is important to step back and just Continue reading →

I loved this book! It had my interest from the very first page and was my "airplane" book on a recent trip. Author Mary Kubica created believable and interesting characters that the reader learned to identify with and care about. Mi...
