This year’s thoughts on gratitude. I am immensely grateful for my husband’s love and partnership, for his resilience this past year getting back into physical shape and embracing his bicycling life again after a very scary accident, and for chasing his dreams and opening up his own veterinary practice. I’m thankful that my son’s first […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
