No one else will be. I rewrite the first chapters of my books more than any other part of the story. I don’t write outlines before I start writing a new story. I typically have an idea and just go with it, then along the way the plot and character development get figured out and […]

If I’m asking, the answer is likely YES! My writers’ group is still beta reading the last several chapters of Land of Monsters. After I finished my edits last month, there was still a section toward the end I wasn’t completely happy with. So there I was, preparing the next chapter for submission and writing […]

I’ve been posting almost daily on bookstagram and I’m having so much fun with that community—I even caved and made a couple reels! I read a […]

Especially when everyone gets the plague. We had a wonderful vacation during the Thanksgiving holiday and returned home to succumb to the plague. The hubs spent several days isolating in the master suite since he was the only one to test positive for The Illness Which Shall Not Be Named. The teen was mostly over […]

If there is a good reason. During the past couple of weeks, I put a clean copy of Seeds of Power to the side and vowed not to open it again. I edited my query letter and my synopsis, but both need a little more work before I am ready to move forward. I decided […]

So it’s time to take the next step. I spent the past two weeks reading Seeds of Power one more time. I moved some commas and changed a few phrases. That’s it. And yes, I enjoyed reading it! I remember the scenes I’ve cut over the years—some I really liked and some that I’ll be […]
