Linking to a few blogs and web sites:
1. Voices of October is the blog of a favorite paranormal investigator,
Joe Andrasi.
Joe is always very thoughtful in passing along
suggestions in regard to
the paranormal world, especially ghosts!
Visit Joe's blog, then come back to me! 
2. Jolene, Inkeeper at Quite The Stir in Gettysburg, PA (see my favorite
places below) has a blog on the Martha Stewart site
(Yes, that Martha) that is the Dreamers into Doers blog site. Jolene gave my books a
review that I should shout about!
So, I am posting
her link here. But! Jolene's blog has many pages of intriguing and creative ideas, aside from my books!
Visit Jolene, then come back to me. 
3. Pets and Their Authors is a blog run by Amigo...a dog who can really
dig up the goods on authors through interviews
of
their pets! What a clever dog Amigo is! And in fact, you can see for yourself exactly how clever Amigo is at his blog.
Be sure to check out the blog for March 23rd, 2010..that's when my dog Corley
was interviewed!
Favorite Non-profit and Charitable Causes
1. Moon Angels in Orange County, CA.
This org. helps people--and families--who deal with the hardships
of Cancer.
2. Zara's List of pet adoption. My dog and best
gal-pal, Corley 'adopted' me from Zara's list!
3. Daughters of the American
Revolution, beloved in American culture as "the D.A.R." D.A.R. earnestly supports many good causes, especially historic
preservation, good citizenship and R.O.T.C programs at schools across the nation.
PLACES
1. San Bernardino Mountains in Southern California:
These are the
mountains where I am a long-time resident.
A community I like to shop at is Big Bear Lake, a four-season resort community
that has myriad boutiques.
In Big Bear Village there's a cozy shop that has an exquisite selection of home decor and
specialty gift items and offers customer service with true mountain hospitality.
The shop is called CEDAR ROSE LANE
and I had the pleasure of shopping there today (November 24th, 2009). Not only did I find a hard-to-locate replacement lamp
bulb for a candle-warmer lamp, I found exactly the kind of Holy Family Nativity figurines I was searching for. Many
thanks to the store's helpful and friendly employee Jan who was a joy to do business with!
