Can be exciting to explore. Last month, I finished major rewrites for my 4-book adult fantasy series, Dreamcatcher, and while I am still submitting chapters of book one to my writing group and making small edits, I have spent most of this month working on Red Hour. This new adult standalone fantasy novel—dare I call […]

And shift gears. Hurrah! I did it! I went through the entire four-book Dreamcatcher series and mapped out the chapters—what happens, what is accomplished for the whole story or for character development, log wordcount and break up long chapters, etc. I smoothed things out and edited small things here and there. When I got to […]

Has crossed the rainbow bridge. My dearest Scooch passed away on March 2nd. Below (left) is a photo of him from his last morning with us. While the grief is not as raw now, the house feels very different, an emptiness lingering. Our time as a two-dog household was shorter than we had imagined. Scooch […]

Boosts my mood. I am having a great time restructuring Dreamkeeper (book no3 in the Dreamcatcher series) and it has greatly improved my general mood.

And thanks for the highs and lows. First of all, Merry Christmas to those who celebrate and Happy Holidays to all! As I approach 2024, it’s time to look back at my goals for 2023 and… well, it’s had some ups and downs. I continued to grow as a writer thanks to my awesome critique […]

And I’m giving myself one too. Soon my kiddos will be on school break but we don’t have many plans for those two weeks. Family time, holiday movies, rest, and long walks with the pup will likely fill our days. While I will likely pull out my laptop during those two weeks just for funsies, […]

I’m feeling pretty good! Bonds of Magic series: I am currently querying Seeds of Power along with a mention that the sequel, Land of Monsters, is also available upon request. Book three is still a vague idea in my head, no outlined plot and nothing drafted yet. I hope to tackle it in 2024. Dreamcatcher […]

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 […]
