My friend Lauralynn Elliott is working on a supernatural horror story that features a garden gnome come to life. I’m totally intrigued, and can’t wait to read the story. It also reminded me of a picture my friend Kate Bateman — the source of my Otherworld Inspiration series of pictures — sent me after our […]
This is super exciting! Tishia at Paranormal Opinion invited me for an author spotlight and giveaway of Tribute! She’s also giving away a necklace she created with the Tribute image. That’s right, Tribute bling! Here’s an excerpt from the first chapter of Tribute. If you haven’t read it, head on over and comment to enter […]
Suck. Time suck. The disappeared hour . Can somebody tell me what the heck justifies daylight savings time in this day and age? Totally upsetting to the body clock — especially with little kids. I’ll quit complaining. Especially since that isn’t the reason I have about zero progress to report since last Sunday. I’m not […]
Hi there! Are you a good listener? Well, for me it’s hit and miss. Ha! What I mean is that sometimes I have the most difficulty listening to those closest to me, especially my family. (Most especially my husband — sorry honey, you married kind of a difficult lady. Can you see where our girls […]
Not much got done this week in terms of writing goals. I wrote about 500 words on Tuesday, and did some more fiddling with my outline for the end of this novella. Gulp. It’s March and I still need to write a quarter of it. Which means it might be June before I get this […]

I’m happy with my productivity since Wednesday’s check-in. I added 1,100 words to my manuscript yesterday, and again this morning. I also wrote a little Thursday night, but that resulted mostly in honing my outline for the final scenes of the book. Friday night, I took a different look at the plot for the series. […]
Hello, readers. Please bear with me as I do a little “dear diary” thing. This (long) post is about my health, and my weight-loss goals in the near future. I also include some tools near the end that have helped me improve my diet in the past. Accountability is a positive force, and hey, it’s […]
Yet I still get so excited when I buy a new book! This post is inspired by an Amazon shipment of books that arrived yesterday. It contained two new books by one of my favorite authors, Carrie Vaughn — the author of the Kitty Norville series about Kitty the werewolf. She’s absolutely my favorite werewolf […]
I took my own advice, and got out of town. We spent the weekend in Central Oregon. (Over the mountains and through the woods to Grandma’s house we go!) Sunday night I even got to indulge in a kids-free cabin, a crackling fire, and time with my honey. I also got in some quality time […]
