So here’s a reading update. My writing group finished their critique of Dreamcatcher and I’ve submitted the first chapter of the next book in series, Dreamweaver. I haven’t written anything new in so long, but I hope to get back to creating new worlds and adventures this week. Despite 2025 giving the Green family multiple […]

Won’t go away. Two weeks ago, I posted about my plan to write something new. The next day my son became very ill. Two days after that, my husband and I fell ill within an hour of each other. Luckily, our almost-eighteen-year-old didn’t catch it as well. He cleaned the house and took care of […]

To return to creativity. I finished my quick review/edit of the Dreamcatcher series and it’s time to get creative again. I have a few scenes from last April with new characters in a new world. It’s a bit witchy and werewolfy and I’m hoping it will be great fun to plot and write. I’ve realized […]

And thanks for the perspective. Merry almost Christmas to those who celebrate and Happy Holidays to all! 2025 is almost here, and it’s time to look back at my goals for 2024. My writing group continues to challenge me to improve and I’m so grateful. They are almost done reading book one of the Dreamcatcher […]

And I’m going to be realistic. For the past several weeks, I have been dealing with an exercise injury—a herniated disc with nerve infringement—which means I’ve had neck/back pain that sometimes radiates down my arm and also creates a tingling sensation in my hand. Did I mention it’s affecting my dominant arm? Oh, and it’s […]

But I’m grateful all year. As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, the things I’m grateful for come readily to mind, and I’m renewing my vow to tell the people in my life how much they mean to me throughout the year. I am incredibly grateful for my husband’s love and partnership. After his accident this […]

Time to celebrate by editing it. Despite the curveballs this fall threw at my family, I am so happy to have completed a major 2024 writing goal. Red Hour is finally fully drafted. This story surprised me. Sam’s voice came through strongly, the world was grittier and the violence was a little rougher than my […]

And returning to SFF books. I’m still working through some of my spooky season stack, but soon I plan to return to the library to grab the last of the books I selected back in January for my 24 in 2024 challenge. As a writer, it’s important to stay on top of what’s new in […]

Has returned! I reread/edited Red Hour and finally finally finally started writing a new chapter to bridge the gap to the previously written ending. After several years of wanting to finish this book but not knowing how to connect everything, I’m so excited to be close to the finish line. These new scenes may not […]

Um, there’s not much to say. Summer ended, the kids went back to school, and the next day my husband was hit by a car while bicycling (see more at the bottom), so there has been little to no writing accomplished this past month. We were living day to day, moment to moment for a […]
