A Girl’s Gotta Dream
I have become fully aware that I am not a self-promotion kind of woman. I can talk to strangers at a book fair with ease. And if I am in a costume of any kind, watch out! One of my other personalities takes over. But I do not have a ‘following’ or a ‘platform’ of...
Editing: Love it or Hate it? Maybe both…
Having edits completed on my books is not something I really enjoy. Don’t get me wrong, I love the editors I use. They are wonderful people, and essential to my writing. It’s just that I write my books and have a difficult time seeing them in any other way. Getting...
Am I there yet?
I'm almost there...I promise. I think. I am almost 'done' and ready to release book 3. The last of the Legends of Star Junction series. My first book, Return to Star Junction, took me about 3 years from inspiration to published. Those three years were filled with so...
I Blew It

My new book: A Secret Recipe

The Knee Bone’s Connected to…
Who would have thought that the knee is connected to the creative part of the brain? Seriously. I had a knee replacement on March 6th. Stopped taking narcotic pain relievers about 12 days in. Stuck with ½ a pill at bedtime for another couple of weeks. But otherwise...
Writing is Not Always a Solitary Undertaking
When I started writing I pictured myself sitting alone in a book-filled room at a desk with no one bothering me. Boy was I wrong. There are times I am alone, but many times my family interrupts me, and times I need to work with others. This aspect was difficult for me...
Pre-Launch Jitters — Almost There
Release of my debut book, a Middle Grade fantasy called Away with the Fairies, is just under five weeks away! June 1st is the day I will finally experience the joy of holding a copy of my newly published book in my hands. I’ve dreamed of this for so long. All the...
