This post is for anyone in the OKC area or anyone who comes to visit! I love to cook. Love to cook Italian dishes with wine. I cook with wine so often, I make my own as most of you know. 😉 But when we decide to go out for a special meal, my family’s…

Norse Mythology and the Lure of Zelda
It’s no secret I have a thing for Norse Mythology. I think my parents must have known about it ahead of time because they gave me an odd name–Rinda– which, according to several sources, was the name of Odin’s third wife. Rin, Rind, Rinda… But my interest in all things Norse began way before I…
Love the Fuze
So, Vicki Pettersson, who happens to be a fantastic writer btw, is responsible for my addiction to this. The fruit versions are okay, but this and especially the mix of black and green tea are my favorites. And they aren’t easy to find!! My local Sam’s was carrying them in bulk, but now I have…

Use Your Surroundings
So, what do you do at a football game when the rain comes down in a slow, steady slide, the wind rushes under your umbrella with skin freezing force and water has seeped through your shoes and socks to numb your toes? Hunker down and pay attention. Last night, I used the hours long, miserable experience…
Vamping Uptown and Bloody Murder
Had a wonderful time at lunch with writer friends yesterday. Then, Kathryn Moad,who also happens to be a fantastic photographer met with me in Bricktown ( Click here for the official gallery of Bricktown.) for an author photo session. Now, I mouth off here and when you meet me in person, I can be a talker. …
