Below are some cool places I like to go to when I'm not busy writing...websites for friends, family, or just interesting sites I've stumbled across on the web.  I'll be adding more links regularly...let me know if you want to link to me, and I'll return the favor!  Just remember that when you click on most of these sites, you'll be leaving my page, so hit your back button when you're ready to return here.

(Here's a pic I took of Ernest Hemingway's "garage apartment" writing studio at the Hemingway House Key West FL www.hemingwayhome.com)

A wonderful Leonardo exhibit, Da Vinci the Genius, is touring the country and will be in Tampa FL through the end of May 2010. Check out MOSI's site for more info. Thanks to Karen for sharing the link.  

If you love the wonderful cover art on the Leonardo da Vinci mysteries, then you'll want to check out the website of its fabulous artist, Mr. Gary Overacre:

Here's a book review site I just learned about: Story Circle Book Reviews.  Their mission--"reviewing books by, for, and about women."  Check them out for reviews of female-centric writings from all genres.

If you're a runner, or you just want to see inside the head of someone who thinks running 26 miles at a pop is great fun, then go read my brother David's blog:

There, he recounts his training techniques and tells about the races he's participated in, along with other running-related news.

More dogs!  This link is for my friend Shelby and her Italian Greyhound, Rudy.  Rudy is now blogging...check out his cute pics:

Here is a link to one of my very favorite 21st century artists, William Young.  I love his surrealistic work!  And not only is he a great painter and a friend, he's also a native Texan like me!

I normally don't combine politics with writing, but this time I am making an exception.  If you're as concerned as I am about the blatant human rights violations perpetrated upon the people of Tibet, go to this site and

 Yet another dog link (noticing a trend?)!  Help my friend Stacy with her great organization, GET A LIFE PET RESCUE.  She fosters and finds homes for small breed dogs that have been tossed away by their owners.  Some are sick, some are old, and some are simply not wanted.  For $15 plus postage, you can get a cute puppy blankie for your fur kid (or even your human baby, LOL).   Proceeds from all sales go to her foster group to pay for vet care and other expenses for these sweet discarded babies.  We adopted our min pin mix, Rika, thru GALPR!  (We're her 3rd home...and she's with us to stay!)

For your blankie, contact Stacy at info@getalifepetrescue.com or to see some cute dogs like the little guy above who just want a chance at a forever home, go to www.getalifepetrescue.com
