Skating Uphill and a One on One meeting with Myself

Written By Betty Almond

If ice remains on the ground around my house after fourteen days, do I get to punch the groundhog in the mouth after it predicted 6 more weeks of winter? It has been an adventure around here skating, and I mean skating, to the chicken coop twice a day changing out the water container that kept freezing.

I took the time to have a much needed meeting with myself about taking a couple of weeks away from the next manuscript and work on seedlings for the garden. It got pretty heated. Things were said, feelings were hurt. I walked away from the mirror and cooled off. In the end I compromised and agreed to one week.

So may the groundhog be a liar, my seedlings grow strong, and Sins of the Sister releases without any hiccups on March 3rd.

B. R. Almond is the author of For the Love of D. H. Lawrence. She enjoys fashioning suspense designed around family. The intricate emotional attachments mixed with how far one will go, be it to right a wrong, stay alive, or even for love is her sweet spot. And yes, she throws in a little romance. And if she can plug in a motorcycle scene, well that is icing on the cake.

A writer, farmer, and lover of motorcycles, she is from the southern region of Arkansas living the three L’s (Live, love, and laugh). When away from the keyboard, she toils around in the garden, dodges wildlife free ranging in her yard, and always on the search for a place to dive fork deep into great Cajun food. Mostly, she can be found walking in the woods thinking on her next writing project.
