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 […]

Stopped my progress. Last month, I successfully swept through Dreamcatcher and Dreamweaver, and dove into Dreamkeeper. I’m still only making minor edits, checking how the 4-book series flows and reminding myself of the ultimate endgame of this story since my writing group will soon start to critique book two. Unfortunately, 2025 already hit my family […]

As strong as possible. Red Hour is in the hands of three beta readers and I’m so excited! I reread it before I sent it off to add some specific questions at the end, and was glad to see that I still really love this story. I’m looking forward to the improvements I can make […]

2025 edition. Happy New Year! This is a big year of change for my family so I am vowing to be present and supportive—and allow some of these goals to take a backseat when needed. Bonds of Magic series: Dreamcatcher series: Red Hour: Other: Wish me luck in 2025!

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 […]
