And focusing on joy. In the bookish world, you can find a lot of opinions. That’s great when talking about honest (and respectful) book reviews. I enjoy seeing how the same book can impact readers in different ways. Every book is not intended for every reader. We all have personal tastes. But there are also […]

Is happening in fits and starts. I wrote four solid chapters on my new project Shadow Walker (working title) and was excited to write more last week. I only managed one more chapter, though, for several reasons. The hubs was out of town so the full parenting load was on my plate. Youngling got braces, […]

And with it, rebirth. The world is getting greener, my plants are budding and flowering, and my pup and I are enjoying consistent walks again now that the temps are better. Our family spring break trip to Yosemite National Park was a combination of truly awe-inspiring views, nice hikes, undesirable rain and a cold virus knocking […]

And returning home renewed. We aren’t typically spring break vacationers, more often taking a trip during the summer, but this year as my oldest approaches high school graduation, we decided to prioritize some extra family adventure time. We’re exploring Yosemite National Park for a couple days to reset and refresh ourselves. We all love spending […]

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 […]
