Welcome Charmaine Gordon
Welcome to the garden! Hope you're enjoying the last of the summer, or winter, depending on your location! As I've said before, I love my garden, but I have a black thumb. I've asked the resident gardener of our household, my hubby, for a tip:
Should you encounter a blo snake, let it be. It will eat any other snakes and rodents and then move on.
We have a guest today, please welcome Charmaine Gordon.
Once upon a time, before I lost my voice on stage, someone encouraged me to write. She said ,"After all the scripts I'd memorized over the years, surely I knew enough to write." So I wrote , not realizing that series are important. Single books may fascinate the reader but they want more about the characters. I wrote Reconstructing Charlie followed by Sin Of Omission, followed by The Catch and the wrap-up book, Together Again. What a delicious experience that led to my short stories in one volume, The Beginning. . .Not the End;Rivers Edge Trio about a town who expects kindness to all who visit and live there-two volumes of each series. Now I've learned that series are very important to a writer and their readers. Sales can blossom when your readers love the characters.
As for me, I married a pilot during the Korean War, had many children, moved around a lot until we finally settled in the New York area. A friend suggested I spread my wing and go to the big city to seek work. And I did and somehow, daytime drama liked my face followed by commercials and movies where I met Harrison Ford and shared a hot dog during a break;sand Happy Birthday to Melanie Griffith in Working Girl, sand with Carrie Fisher in When Harry Met Sally and more but the most fun was when Anthony-call me-Tony Hopkins took me to lunch during the break for lunch on The Road to Wellsville. Also a special treat when I did a Saturday Night Live bit with Robin Williams. What a sweet time.

Instant Grandpa
Summer at the Jersey Shore just got hotter… Take one widower grandfather, add two little grandkids, and widowed grandmother with a small granddaughter. Mix well. Stir in sun drenched beach days and moonlit nights. What have you got? A kite flying high with a new tail; an author writing a book to sort out emotions; a talented boy with his mother returned to claim the prize.
This is merely the beginning of three short stories; funny, romantic and they will give you a lot of pleasure. One has a therapy dog as a major character and the last is a show business tale true to all I know from my years in New York. Enjoy, my friends.
