New Release! I’m honored to have my personal favorite short story, “The Fickle Face of Time” featured in Victoria Bastedo’s Vintage Ladies Magazine, Chantiki’s Boudoir. It’s a tale of vexing vixens, beguiling beauties and the gentleman caught in their spell. (Who just might be one of our Mr. Worthingtons!) Originally written from the photo prompts…

A Fourth of July Celebration!
Happy Independence Day to those in the U-S-of-A! And big cheers and fireworks-worthy celebration here at Miss Liv Adventures on the same day too!!! At long last, The Unwitting Journeys of the Witty Miss Livingstone – Book III: Dreams Key rode off with great fanfare to the hands of Beta Readers. It’s complete and ready…
I’m Glad We Have Each Other
It’s been a bit tough to post lately. There’s been so much uncertainty here in my home state of Washington, and when we went on lockdown with nearly everything closed, it was as if a weight hung over my head. But things are looking up a bit, and we’re adjusting to our ‘new normal’. And…
Women and Flying Machines
I have a tough time resisting a full read through of any history on early flying machines, especially if there’s a daring woman involved. I thoroughly enjoyed this article about Ruth Law on Pioneers of Aviation, and perhaps you will too. CLICK HERE or on the photo to see more.
Excelerate
Yes, I know…before you correct my spelling, I had a reason for messing up the word accelerate. I’m pleased to announce I’ve finished the Excel spreadsheet from hell, otherwise known as Timeline Points by Character, and I’m ready to move forward speedily with completing Book III (and IV & V) at long last. I’m still…
A Little History & Holiday Shortbread
While searching my cupboards during my Christmas shortbread baking, I realized the cutters I’d used for the Miss Livingstone Book II Release Party would fit perfectly into my traditional cutter tin. I’ve had the tin for more years than I remember, but my cutter collection had outgrown its bounds. Fortunately I kept it for sentiment……

Book II’s Train is Coming
The Unwitting Journeys of the Witty Miss Livingstone, Book II: Memory Key is coming down the tracks and will be released soon. ‘Soon’ instead of a firm date has been a bit frustrating, to be honest, but I’m not going to send the story to publication until it lives up to Book I’s Miss Livingstone’s…
Cat’s Got Class
I took an online course today from Cat Rambo on Description and Delivering Information. My favorite tip was: Always choose to describe what’s distinct for that moment in time. That ignites my imagination to see every level of what’s happening in my scene: physical setting, feelings, filters, predicaments, other characters, reactions. I think it will allow me to…
K is for Kindred Spirits
Thanks for celebrating my book launch with me…Photo is vintage 1934 from the Archives of the Likness family. The gal on the left is my mom, and the son of the gal on the right sent me this photo after he found some photos I had posted from the same era tagged with my mom’s name. He searched for her name from where it was written on the back of this photo and he contacted me from info on my blog. I was able to send him a few more from the old Vancouver, B.C. neighborhood where our grandparents and parents lived in the early ’30s. And he sent me this one and some others. Such random wonders and serendipitous connections come from the www.
