As usual, time sprang a new year on us right after Christmas. I knew it was coming, but I was so busy writing in 2019, I couldn’t really give 2020 much thought.

Error in Longmire novel

I’m reading a Walt Longmire mystery by Craig Johnson. The bad language aside, I really like his books. He does a fabulous job with characters. Walt and Henry Standing Bear share one of my most favorite bromances. However, right now, I’m a little peeved because a previous reader has kindly shared with me—and anyone who…  Read More
