But not always in a good way! Funny (to me) story time: My 40s hit and I read about what to expect in this season of life, and yet my body and brain continue to surprise me as they go through wild changes. Last week, I couldn’t remember the name of one of two main […]

With some cozy mysteries and paranormal stories. In honor of spooky season, I am once again grabbing a library haul of mysteries, finishing some mystery ARCs, and reading a few mysteries and paranormal tales that I already have in my kindle library. Below is my list of October hopefuls. Hopefully they will all be winners, […]

Take time, I guess. The kids are settled into school and I’m getting into a groove of part-time work while still balancing all the adulting that needs to happen while the hubs works long hours 5-6 days a week. The item that has fallen to the wayside most often is writing/editing, but I am seeing […]

And work! We have moved my eldest back to college, youngling just started his last year of middle school, and at the end of July I went back to work part-time after nearly fourteen years of full-time mom life. It is surreal but amazing to be in a new season of life. After my older […]

This might be a writing slump. Last week I got sucked into Dreamkeeper (book 3 of the Dreamcatcher series) but… I’m really just rereading a story I love because this book shares so much about Lincoln. My editing here is not a big investment because my writing group has only just begun to critique it, […]

Is better than nothing. I did some editing on Red Hour but I need to do more focused work on it and still need to edit the last few chapters of Dreamweaver. My writing group has started critiquing Dreamkeeper (Dreamcatcher book 3) and it is really fun to see them work their way through this […]

And that’s ok. I haven’t jumped into edits for Red Hour but I did get some beta readers for Shadow Walker. I’m reading a lot and have spent time hiking, volunteering, and visiting with family and friends. I had a quick out-of-state trip to move my son out of his dorm. I want to start […]

A new normal. I’m jumping into editing Red Hour and hoping for some beta readers for Shadow Walker. The canine writing assistant and I have been taking long walks in the neighborhood while I listen to audiobooks. Youngling has gotten into nature photography this past year and over the past several weeks, we have gone […]

And reenergizing as I wake. My writing group is currently reading the final chapters of Dreamweaver, book two of the Dreamcatcher series. As I began to prep for the next critique meeting, I decided to read to the end of the book to catch any last-minute edits and prep all the final chapters for submission, […]

A fantastic start to the year! I read 84 books from January to March! This is mainly due to 46 being audiobooks—way more than usual, mostly due to mood. I was mentally tired this winter and found myself wanting to listen to romcoms while working on a jigsaw puzzle or playing a game on my […]
