A to Z of Small Delights, Simple Pleasures, & Significant Memories
Varied Small Delights, Simple Pleasures, & Significant Memories…
Victorious feeling: How I feel when I finish the first draft of a new book
Vintage: I mean vintage for me, not the youngsters. Stuff from the 20s-50s. Clothes, jewelry, furniture, knic-knacs – I enjoy them all.
VW Beetle: The original and yes, I had one. She was names Schultzie. And yes, I do name all my vehicles. We currently have Jeremiah the Jeep, Freddie the Freightliner, Scooby the pickup, Black Cherry the Harley-Davidson Tri-Glide, and KaZy, the 5th wheel trailer.
Volunteering: I spent three weeks volunteering on the Blackfeet Nation Reservation in Browning, MT during my 2005 motorcycle tours. I’ll never forget it and the people I met.

Oh yikes..probably stuff from the 80’s, right?
OMG. LOL

They think anything before 2000 is vintage, so that includes 1990s
Loading...
And for me, I think more of the 60s and back.
Loading...
Or even later!

I know, early 2000s? LOL! For me, it’s anything from the 60s and back.

I like vintage as well, but is it vintage if I like things from the decade I was born in? Mod clothes, mod furniture? Love it!

I love the comments on vintage…this is fun!

One of my favorite places to stay in Panama City Beach had a walkway over the street from the garage to the hotel. In that walkway was a wonderful, mod bar. Mint green 60s style mod seats at the bar were just perfect to me. On both the way in and the way out of the hotel we would stop at that bar for a drink because I loved it so much.
LOL, I love vinegar. I know I’m strange. I especially love the vinegar flavor in Bob’s homemade cole slaw.

Same here, but I grew up with vinegar on all greens as well as beets. And I love pickles!

DB McNicol's Hoot Troop
Klondike Series Reviews
Not a Whisper
J.L. Hopf: “What a great read. I didn’t see the end coming. Can’t wait until the next book is out. Fast paced, twists and turns and a little romance thrown in. WTG!!”
J. Hall: “This is an easy-reading story about the characters in a small community. It’s well written with clear development of the different characters. The writer makes it so believable that the reader is drawn into the daily life in this small town.”
Barely a Spark
G. White: “I just finished Barely a Spark, and it was one of those rare to find books you just don’t want to put it down. The book is a roller coaster ride, with an action packed story full of suspense and surprises. You have your small town characters with all the drama and humor that are such a delight to read. Great book, a great read.”
Anita T.: “I love these books! The mystery keeps you guessing, and there’s a nice twist at the end of this one. The characters are people I’d love to know, so it keeps my interest in their world. What a delight to read such well written and wholesome stories!”
Almost a Touch
Sharon A: “I love the small town settings, the believable characters, a little romance and surprise ending. I highly recommend this book and the previous books in the series. It is my personal belief that most everyone would enjoy this author’s writing style.”
Betty K.: “I have been anxiously waiting for book #3 of the Klondike Series, and wasn’t disappointed! You grabbed me at the first page, and I thoroughly enjoyed the adventure…..thanks for the ride!”
C'Mon Inn Series Reviews
Paradise Down
Judy R.: “Having read other works by Donna B. McNicol I was anxious to find out more about her foray into solving crimes. I took a dive — literally. Paradise Down was the story about crimes involving an Hawaiian Diving Shop and the writer reeled me in immediately. Well written with interesting characters. It was also fun learning about the Hawaiian culture that was an underlying thread throughout the story. It was a fast, easy read!”
Paradise Dead
Eve P:”A suspenseful multilayered mystery that kept me guessing. 5 stars! Great characters and a very suspenseful multilayered mystery that kept me guessing until the very end! The setting was beautiful and the dialogue was engaging. Loved the book!”
Paradise Drift
Sheri W: “On the edge of my seat! Loved the continuity of characters with the ability to be a stand alone book at the same time. It was great to return to the same setting, while new layers of intrigue were set down.”
Lost & Found/Home Again Reviews
Lost and Found (short story prequel)
N. Russell: “In Lost and Found, Donna McNicol captures the very essence of rural life. Having been a single father I could relate very well to Sarah’s uncertainty and self-doubt about the decisions she makes and what will happen next. This is a wonderful short story that will make you happy you read it, but wanting to know more about the people. It could easily lead into a full size novel. “
Karen E: “I found this short story to be very enjoyable. I was pulled into the story very quickly and could relate to the emotions of the characters. I was disappointed when it ended so quickly and was wishing for more! I would definitely want to read this if/when it becomes a novel!”
Home Again
Emily B: “This was a relaxing, wholesome book and I could see myself or my friends in some of the situations. Wanting to know what happened next, I always read a chapter or two more than I planned to in each sitting because I did not want to put it down.”
Anita T: “I love Donna’s writing, and love that it’s fairly wholesome while still being a terrific story! The characters are believable like real people who you care about. We need more like this.”
Joan D: “I thoroughly enjoyed this book, nice light reading with some romance and intrigue all wrapped up into a nice package.”
