A good night’s sleep is something every child deserves---and a local nonprofit organization along with Georgia-Pacific, are making that possible, one bed at a time. Sleep in Heavenly Peace is dedicated to building and delivering beds to children who don’t have one of their own.

Small Moments

Reality does not always match up with fantasy. My fantasy, once I finally sold my first novel, was that I would print my book in hard copy (which I never do) and carry it out of my office and go somewhere with it— maybe a coffee shop!

Pet Talk

When a pet doesn’t seem like itself — maybe it’s limping, behaving oddly or seems to just not feel right — getting answers quickly and accurately can make all the difference. However, some issues are hidden deep inside the body, beyond the reach of a physical exam or basic Xray.
