The Latest

 Hello once again.

Still busy.

Still taking our furbaby for chemo; although, this may soon come to an end as she is not responding to any of the chemo protocols they have tried.

Our future move is still on track. A building project we had done is now complete. Still more to do to our new space before it's ready for us.

 I have so much "stuff" to sort through before we move. 

I will be getting rid of a lot of the items I used for events.

All books I have left will be dropped in a donor box.

I will try to sell the framed photos; otherwise, the photos will come out of the frames and packed away until I can find another venue in Virginia to sell them.

I hope to find time to continue working on several stories I have but, you know how it goes.

I'm not getting any notifications from Kindle that anyone has bought any of my books recently, so this is not encouraging. Thus, if I do continue, it will be by pre-orders only.

Not sure if this site is even worth continuing as I don't see any visitors. I will think on it.

Until the next time, "sit back, put your feet up, and get lost in one of my stories."TM

Life Gets in the Way

 As I do not see any comments on this blog, I won't apologize for being gone so long.

As the title says, life events have taken over my writing and posting. 

Since my last post, I've lost my father, mother, two brothers-in-law, a former father-in-law, a couple of aunts, and our wonderful old doggy-gal. 

We're currently dealing with chemo treatments for our german shepherd. This treatment is done once every other week but takes most of the day to travel there, get treatment, and travel back. 

We are also in the process of planning a future move. 

I still continue to walk mornings when the weather permits. Average walk is 5 - 6 miles, 3 days a week. Still take pictures during those walks.

This year will be my final Artfest participation. Haven't produced any new books recently because of the subject matter. If and when I get back to it, I'll post information here since the website has been discontinued.

Until then, "sit back, put your feet up, and get lost in one of my books."™

 Hello once again.

Lately, I have been taking a lot of pictures during my husband and my morning walks. We've been going to a local walking/biking trail with plenty of color: wildflowers, water, animals, and insects.

Since I am a member of our local Arts Alliance, I've recently been submitting a few of those photos for consideration when the Alliance has Temporary Gallery displays around the Tri-County area.

I currently have one permanent one purchased by the Community Bank of Tri-County - Charlotte Hall; two pictures in the temporary gallery at the Community Bank of Tri-County - Waldorf branch. 

My life is still busy, but I will try to post updates about the submissions here. If you are interested, you can view many of my photos on Flickr, just type in the name Patricia Harrington.

Another year gone

 Hello. Yes, again, I am late putting words down on the Blog.

A lot has happened in the last couple of years and I've lost my inspiration for sitting down and getting into a story. Updating the blog and my website have also been hit hard by life events, as well.

In the next few years, my husband and I will get underway with plans to relocate to another state, which again will affect my writing time. Therefore, when I finish working on several of the stories that are waiting for me to get back to them, I will only do pre-orders. Or they can be purchased from Amazon. 

There it is. Sorry, it's been a long while since I updated you.

Guess I should say, until the next time...whenever that may be. 

Until then, "sit back, put your feet up, and get lost in one of my books."™

Hello all!

Sorry I haven't updated this in so long, but life has gotten in the way...again.

I have recently discovered that Vista Print has changed things on my website, so the domain name has changed, as well as the layout. I'm not happy about that but, regardless, I've updated the above link. Now all of my printed, marketing material is out of date. UGH!

Thus, I have a lot to do to prepare for the 2020 CCAA Artfest in LaPlata, Maryland in June...and none of it will include getting another book finished and printed in time.

I will need to set aside time to write this new link information on some my business cards, which BTW, were just recently ordered.

Okay, need to get busy, so until the next time, sit back, put your feet up, and get lost in one of my books.™

Hello All.

I'm finally getting around to posting something.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas/New Year's Eve.

I've still been busy with home projects and helping parents and father-in-law. Also, this year, I had to deal with signing up for Medicare and Social Security.


Currently working on two new stories. 
The 5th and final book on Janie's Got series is in the works, as well. 

Beautiful Soul is about what some people will do when blessed with a financial windfall. It's in their soul to be caring and sharing.

Going to be Murder will be a romance/murder story. Two Mystery Shoppers discover the body of a friend. One has her eye on the sexy deputy; the other, has her eye on the smart and good-looking veterinarian. They both have their eyes on a dead body.

I will be attending the annual Artfest in LaPlata, Maryland on June 8. I don't expect these books to be done by that time; however, I will have post cards to hand out.

Hope to see you on June 8. Stop by and check out my table.
Browse the many eclectic booths. Hang around and listen to the music. 

Until next time, sit back, put your feet up, and get lost in one of my books.™

2018 is coming to a close

Good Day Happy Readers.

I know it's been a long while since I posted anything.

In truth, I haven't been doing any writing. I'm still working on home projects, crochet projects, and dog training/vet visits. I've also been doing a lot of reading, hoping to hone up my skills.

One other thing that has occupied a lot of time has been trying to help my mother understand and navigate her aunt's estate and what will happen. She is not the executor, but the law firm that is is suspicious. What happened to her and her siblings and her aunt's estate is criminal IMO. I will be posting more details about this on my other blog: MOO (My Opinion Only). Let's just say that a will isn't any good in some cases.

Having said all this, I am hopeful that I can get back to several stories that have been gathering cyber dust, in the coming year.

Until the next time, sit back, put your feet up, and get lost in one of my book™
