My humorous novel BEER POUR checks the boxes for political satire, entertainment fiction, and romance. U.S. Vice President Jacqueline Farmington and handsome businessman Paul Wexler fall in love during the VEEP's diplomatic mission with Japan, staged in Hollywood. Jacqueline is married to Vince, a man even her Secret Service detail can't stand. They had planned to divorce before her party tapped her to be on the ticket, so they stayed married for appearances. But when she meets Paul, it is love at first sight for both of them. Her weeklong affair blossoms into something real, giving the lonely Vice President a second chance at love. Today I'm promoting BEER POUR as a featured title in the "Heartwarming Women's Fiction Showcase." For books about romance and second chances, CLICK ON BEER POUR after following the link: https://books.bookfunnel.com/heartwarmingfiction1/u66jrx1dnh

Dusk
i had such grandiose plans
another day to spend
from the bank of my life
to reap the dividendsomewhere i went awry
i lost track of the sun
when i turned around again
the day was almost doneso now i pin my hopes
on the fading light
i watch the creeping shadows
and make plans for the nightAugust 13, 2015

Sometimes the road we would never choose becomes the very path God uses to lead us towards the life we were always meant to live.
Because even in the wilderness...
...He is still leading the way.

Wednesday’s Interview With UK Author Margo Milburn

When Maria catches her husband in a passionate kiss with the neighbor, she doesn’t hesitate. That same night, she packs her bags, rents a remote Cornish cottage over the phone, and drives to the ancient fishing village of Penlowan — nestled beneath the protective glow of the iconic lighthouse. She came for peace. For […]https://midnight-publishing.org/2026/07/23/wednesdays-interview-with-uk-author-margo-milburn/

Broken Chair
I rescued the chair from outside someone’s apartment with the hope of fixing it and having it become a welcome member of our family.
But, as often happens, it sat around in various places waiting for me to find the time to repair it.
Finally, I decided it was one more project I did not have time for, and so yesterday I put it out on the sidewalk in the hopes that someone would take it home.
It sat out there all through yesterday in the rain and the sun, lonely, awaiting a new friend. A few people paused to look but then drove away. Periodically I would look out my window to see it still sitting forlornly there.
Then this morning I noticed an older gentleman walking past who began to inspect the chair. He picked it up, put it on his back and walked away.
It is a beautiful chair. It just needs to be repaired, and I am sure its new owner will do just that.
I don’t know about you, but I feel a lot like that broken chair, waiting for the gentle hands of someone to put me back together again.
I wait, broken, with the hope that those hands will touch me, I will be healed, and I can have a purpose again.

For Nelson (May 16, 1944-July 13, 2005)
If I would have my life to live over again,
I would find an old stone wall in disrepair
and I would spend my days seeking the tumbled
down stones hidden in the grass.By day I would rebuild the wall. At night I
would lie in its lee. I would not be afraid
of the snakes and rodents disturbed from
their dark places in the cracks between the
stones where they sleep.And when my life came to an end and the wall
was as yet unfinished, I would not moan. I
would lay myself down against the rocks and
let my body fade away into a place of rest in
the cracks between the stones.March 11, 2005
