I’m so excited! I will publish Lightwave: Clocker May 21st, 2018! The book is currently in the hands of my proofreader–a miracle occurred and I sent it early–and the artwork is completed and completely awesome. For now, I will only be publishing on Amazon. I know some of you are Nook or iTunes fans, but as a…
Operation Slow Snow
Here I go again with the boring refrain. It’s been too long since I did a blog post. Sigh. You’d think I’d learn. But I had a good excuse this time. (Photo by Irv H. TR Canada – The ASM & AM cut firewood) This winter has been rough for everyone, but the northern tier…
Too long
Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve updated my progress – it’s been a busy month in the Scott household. Lightwave Publishing LLC is a reality and I have a bank account and PayPal set up. I’ve also sent my book brief off to Deranged Doctor Design – my chosen cover designer. They do my…
Gonna make a resolution, that I’ll never make another one…
I don’t make resolutions, but I do make plans. Since I was a strategic planner and project manager the last half of my military career, it comes naturally. So, here’s my big goal: 2018 is the year I independently publish. I’m going to let you know how it’s going along the way. I made the…
Night Shift Christmas — A short, sweet romance — Free!
Calendia Martin is happy to work Christmas. With no family near and few friends, she’ll take the extra-long shift and avoid the whole Christmas glad-tidings-and-good-cheer-thing. But Christmas has other plans for Callie… Night Shift Christmas will be on this website through 2017 as my gift to you. If you’d like to give a gift in…
Ghost Trees
The Bitterroot Valley is usually referred to as the ‘banana belt’ of Montana. A few times every winter, high pressure decides to camp out over us and we turn into the freezer of Montana. Inversions fill the valleys with fog and wood stoves make the problem worse. The only way to see the sun is…
Grateful
Today, I’m grateful. I have a wonderful husband who supports all my semi-crazy ventures. I have a great family, who I love. I have a fantastic Team Rubicon TRibe who help me help others on their worst days. I live in the most beautiful place on earth. God gave me a clear voice and the…
A Memorial– Sgt Schultz Scott
Not too long after we moved to Montana, we decided our German Shepherd Dog, Daphne the Itchy Dog, could use a friend. So, we contacted the Bitterroot German Shepherd rescue, where we tested a couple of candidates. Daphne didn’t really like anyone except The Amazing Sleeping Man (ASM), but she tolerated a big guy named…
Building the Perfect Writing Desk
Well, perfect was the goal, and while I didn’t reach it, the result is more than good enough. I’m very happy with the results. It looks awesome and works great. How did I get here? It took a bit of work. First, I did a lot of research on sit/stand desks. I’ve been reading reviews…
More Hazards of Living in the Woods
Living in the foothills of the Bitterroot Mountains is awesome: hiking trails, beautiful scenery, wildlife, quiet… Sometimes not so quiet. The roar of chainsaws is pretty common. When you live in trees, sometimes, they have to come down. There were at least five saws in running in our neighborhood on Sunday, including ours. One more…
