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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

Time to get writing! This summer was long, hot and fun—but writing time fell to the bottom of my priority list. The hubs opened up a new veterinary practice, my oldest son moved out of state for college, and my youngest son starts middle school tomorrow, so now it’s time for me to get back […]

New routine. June travel is over and we don’t have many plans again until August. On July 1st, I opened up my new novel about a witch and a werewolf solving a missing persons case together and I had a great time working on it a few days during the week. I’m hoping this new […]

Semi-busy. My husband’s laptop broke so he used mine for a while, college orientation for my son took me out of state for a couple days, and life has been generally a little busy. I’m not stressed. We’re not “too” busy, but the days are fuller than expected. My reading and writing time have been […]

Create space for new beginnings. The school year has ended and summer vacation has begun! My teenager is a high school graduate and headed to college this fall. Youngling has left elementary school behind and will start middle school. My husband opens his new veterinary practice this July, making a lifelong dream come true. I […]

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 […]
