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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

or get back to work? So far this summer season, I’ve read a lot, had some pool and zoo time, and took a fun girls’ trip to Savannah, Georgia, but I haven’t gotten much work done in terms of writing goals. A few queries have gone out, I’ve dipped into Red Hour a bit, but […]

Is just as important as writing. Right now, I need to take some time to brainstorm and daydream about the final chapters of Red Hour. I’m so close but not getting over that finish line. I wrote the ending a year ago, but there is a gap before those final scenes. I need to fill […]
