The long and winding road to pub day: The Proofread for ‘Flight of the Stolen Children’ has come home… at last
Writing is hard work. Sometimes you soar... during the creative process. Sometimes you nose dive... when you're stuck in a scene or chapter. And sometimes you smile... like this week when I'm proofreading 'Flight of the Stolen Children'. All the crazy hours you keep, the piles of research books, the pacing, running up and down the stairs, drinking coffee, finding an excuse to buy an apple fritter, then two, and finally your book baby comes home.

When America went to war in 1941, the women and girls proudly did their all. Here is a photo I added to the July 4th graphic of a young woman with her helmet on raising the flag.

Memorial Day tribute to our servicemen and women serving overseas when a moment from home meant a doughnut and a hot cup of coffee
I was a doughnut dolly. Back in the day, I served with the U.S. Army Special Services in Livorno, Italy. My job was to make coffee and play pool with the troops, set up entertainment and gourmet restaurant tours. And make cookies. I whipped up hundreds and hundreds of cookies. Chocolate chip. And doughnuts, too. I got help from the mess hall sergeant, a bespectacled guy from the Midwest who let me commandeer his big pots and huge ovens.

April 13, 1912 and the TITANIC is getting dangerously closer to the iceberg that sealed her fate: TITANIC and Icebergs
  Iceberg right ahead. When we hear those immortal words in a film about the Titanic, we stop munching our popcorn and hold our breath. We know what's coming. The Titanic is about to hit the iceberg and from that moment on, nothing will ever be the same on that grand ship. Passengers play with the ice chunks fallen on deck; Third Class cabins on F deck start to flood, while mail clerks scramble to save the sacks of mail.

1862: When the Tooth Fairy went to war for #NationalToothFairyDay
The Tooth Fairy took on a new role during the Civil War. She fought long and hard to help the soldiers keep their teeth, not take them. If a soldier had a toothbrush, it was homemade. Brushes didn't show up as commercially made until 1885. Most used a 'chewing stick' made from a twig from a tree or bush. Chomping on hardtack didn't help.
