My friend Lauralynn Elliott was kind enough to invite me to join her on this blog tour about writing process. Lauralynn was an inspiration and a huge help as I began my publishing journey in 2011, and we’ve been buddies ever since. Check out Lauralynn’s post from last week, and I’ll also link to the […]
Yep. It’s been more than a month since I last posted here. Not sure why. I’ve definitely been busy with writing stuff — specifically edits to my novel Chaos Calling, which will be released this spring. I’m done with my edits on paper. I think it’s a good book. Ha! I don’t believe I can […]
I can’t believe those words, but they’re true. In the middle of our family rush to put on a birthday party this weekend for the newly minted 5-year-old, my excellent, thoughtful husband sent me out in the world to seek my fortune…I mean to FINALLY FINISH THIS DAMN BOOK. Seriously. The last few scenes of […]
When I last checked in I was down to two scenes left to write (or rewrite) in Chaos Calling. My current goals are:-Get up at 5 three days a week, walk the dog and write before the kids get up.-Write 5,000 words of new fiction each week.-Finish the first draft of Chaos Calling, have it […]

When I cheer “I’m DONE!” or “Finished!” he assumes I’m about to hit the publish button….but it’s usually […]
Exciting times! Winter has arrived. 🙂 My goals for this round are very simple. Write 5,000 words of new fiction per week, and edit for two one-hour blocks each week. I’m hoping to exceed that editing goal, because I’d like to have Chaos Calling, the sequel to my fantasy novel Queen Witch, published by April. […]
If you have a little lady between the ages of 3 and 6 on your Christmas list, I have you covered with a few gift ideas in this post. I’ve been thinking about shopping for this age group a lot (and time is short, so I need to quit thinking and actually SHOP. lol). My […]
It’s been a rough couple of weeks. We celebrated two birthdays (hubby & younger daughter) at the beginning of November, took a trip to the Oregon coast with a bunch of family for my father’s 60th — all happy stuff, but busy. And then the day after we got home my grandmother (Dad’s mom) passed […]
Few artists can reach into my chest and hold my heart in their hands — but Neko Case seems to get in there repeatedly. I’ve been a fan for many years. I even saw Neko in concert (in the intimate setting of the Crystal Ballroom in Portland) while pregnant with daughter number two; a cherished […]
