Welcome

      

       

Do you like stories set in unusual or exotic locations? How about unique or interesting occupations? Combine both, firmly wrap them around romance and adventure, and that’s the kind of reading that takes you places!

It’s also a style of writing for Monica McCabe. Always a bit of an adventuress, she’s lived in and explored places like Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, Florida, Mexico, California, Washington, and yes, even Las Vegas. At every location she seized the opportunity to explore, hike, camp, raft, canoe, fly, ski, scuba-dive, or zip-line. She’s climbed glaciers and ancient Mayan pyramids, dived shipwrecks and reef caves, camped in sasquatch country, drove across the USA three times, and is now working on gathering as many official stamps in her National Park passport as she can. So far, fourteen and counting.

Also an avid reader, the writing bug bit her hard somewhere between Alaska and Montana. Slowing down enough to actually put words on paper took a while longer. She scribbled notes, played at writing a historical romance (her favorite reading), but it wasn’t until she landed in Tennessee that writing became a passion.

Now that she’s sprouted roots alongside her husband of fourteen years, one lazy cat and two happy dogs, she’s turned her wanderlust into crafting stories of adventure and romance. And all that travel and exploration lends realistic detail to her writing. Plus she’s been known to sneak in a bit of her own experience, and a pet or two, because they like the fame.

    Want to know something funny? I was plotting a story the other day and used ‘Monica McCabe” as the heroine’s name. I kept telling myself…this name seems so familiar. HAHAHA

    I googled the name and found you.

    You’re doing great.

    If you want to post from a word doc without all those crazy symbols, look at the second row of buttons. You’ll see the W on a button (the W like MS Word). Click on that and an insert window open. Paste your work there. Using that button tells WP that you are pasting in a Word Doc.

    try that.

      That’s awesome. I don’t mind being the heroine in a romance novel!

      I finally got all the images to line up on the articles page, but I had to really play with it. Move images, put them back, etc. Still can’t get the spacing between the title & link to be uniform throughout. I guess the more I work in WordPress I’ll eventually figure it out!

    Peanuts are good but fattening. So annoying. And then you have to worry about the salt! You got a picture up there. It looks good. I’ve been having mucho trouble with images but I’m not caught up with the class.

      Thanks! I just switched to this new theme today. I wanted drop down boxes & my other theme wouldn’t support them. Tweaking and growing the site has been such fun. This class has been awesome.
