Time to get back to fantasy books. I went to the library earlier this month to grab a stack of spooky season reads, but instead of just running in and grabbing my hold requests, I spent about twenty minutes sitting on the floor in front of the SFF new release shelf. When deciding what to […]

Is more like a distraction. We have a second miniature schnauzer in the house! Meet Murphy, the baby of the family. I now feel like I have four kids: a teenage son, canine middle child Scooch is 11, my younger son is in fifth grade, plus the new puppy. We intended to get a puppy […]

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 […]

And excitement! It’s been two years since my first blog post about my writing journey. Sure, my goals have fluctuated—at times I’ve taken leaps forward and at other times I’ve been stuck in the mire. But after reflecting on the past two years, I am proud of my overall progress. With the help of my […]
