My Journey (and Occasional Stumble) Through the Woods
To editing. I finished Shadow Walker! I’m so proud that my first dual-POV novel is complete. This wolf and witch tale was a stretch of my writing habits and skills as I outlined more than usual to keep an eye on the balance of perspectives while creating this new world and magic system. After I…
It’s hot then cold. Two weeks ago, I was excited to only have two chapters left of Shadow Walker. I still have a chapter and a half to go though, because writing is sometimes like a fever. Hot one minute then cold the next. I wrote a few pages and then life hit. Illness cycling…
And looking ahead. I have two chapters left to write for Shadow Walker. Two! I’m so excited that this manuscript is almost done. I know generally what happens in these two chapters and just need to sit down and write it already. I already wrote the last chapter and a short epilogue, so I just…
Is still progress! January had a slow start for me due to the dreary, cold weather, the state of the world taking up my headspace, and having a college-age kid around that I love and wanted to hang out with. After taking him back out of state to start his next semester, my frame of…
And some different goals for 2026. In 2025, I read 274 books and that total includes some novellas and short stories.

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.…
