My Journey (and Occasional Stumble) Through the Woods
And some different goals for 2026. In 2025, I read 274 books and that total includes some novellas and short stories. My top three genres were of course fantasy, mystery/thriller, and rom-com. 122 were audiobooks that I listened to at high speeds while driving, walking the pup, cooking, doing housework or unwinding with a jigsaw…
2026 edition. Happy New Year! I’m hoping to refocus this year and dive back into my writing goals! Shadow Walker: Dreamcatcher series: Red Hour: Other: Wish me luck in 2026!
And thanks for reminding me to flex. Merry almost Christmas to those who celebrate and Happy Holidays to all! 2026 is coming soon, and it’s time to look back at my goals for 2025. As planned, I stopped querying Seeds of Power to focus on editing another book to query in future. I had a…
We welcome new traditions. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving break with my college-age son and I’m looking forward to him being home again soon for a whole month. While he was last here, he put up the outdoor lights and helped us decorate the Christmas tree, and it was wonderful to have this tradition just…
This year’s thoughts on gratitude. I am immensely grateful for my husband’s love and partnership, for his resilience this past year getting back into physical shape and embracing his bicycling life again after a very scary accident, and for chasing his dreams and opening up his own veterinary practice. I’m thankful that my son’s first…
Since I’m writing a dual POV story for the first time. My writing life is back in full swing and I’m so excited by the progress I’m making on Shadow Walker. This is the first book I’m writing consistently in two POVs and it’s been a good stretch of my writing skills and planning process.…
Hello again SFF books. Looking ahead to November/December, I’m reading two mystery ARCs and two fall-themed romcoms I found sitting neglected in my kindle library, then my focus is back to science fiction & fantasy. Here’s what’s on the SFF list: After this list is done, I’m going to let my mood guide me through…
It’s time for fall-themed books. Welcome October! I love the cooler weather, beautiful colors of changing leaves and autumn-themed reads. I have a few SFF ARCs and gifted books to finish this month, but I’m making time to read mysteries/thrillers to get into spooky season and balancing that darkness with fall-themed romance audiobooks. Here’s what…
Then started another one. This summer, a dear friend of mine gathered a few of her friends and started a monthly book club. I’ve met three new wonderful women in the same season of life as me, chatted about two amazing books, and most recently read a 5-star magical realism book that I had never…
In both reading and writing. Middle school started and we are all up a lot earlier than we used to be. I’m being very good about doing my physical therapy (to stay strong after an injury last fall), yoga, and walking the dog each day. I’ve accomplished multiple general ‘adulting’ to dos so far this…
