My first goal for the spring was to publish the second novel in my Foulweather Twins fantasy series. DONE! Chaos Calling is out now. One more book to go in the series. I’ve also thought of a possible spin-off series, but I’m not committed to it at this point. Fun choices for a writer — […]

ROW80 Round Two Goals
It’s a stunner that April has arrived and it’s now time to dash into Spring like mad hares on the chase… I’m not giving in utterly to this feeling, with other parts of life to attend to as well. My cup is overflowing in what feels like all areas of life at the moment. Last […]
Sunday Update: Finished Chaos Calling Yesterday
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 […]
Mid-Week Update: Good Week So Far
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 […]
Sunday Update: Nearly There! (On One More Book)
Writing goals are so funny. My husband stopped trying to keep track of the stages of all my projects long ago….not for a reason of disinterest, but because there are so many STEPS to completing a book. When I cheer “I’m DONE!” or “Finished!” he assumes I’m about to hit the publish button….but it’s usually […]
Round of Words Goals for Winter 2014
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. […]
Mid-Week Update: Big Happenings
It’s been a big couple of weeks here. I have progress to report in a bunch of areas. One of my goals this round was to publish Descent, the fourth Children of the Sidhe fantasy romance book. I’m happy to report that it’s done! Out there in the world! Or on Amazon at least. Book […]
Round of Words Goals Post: Fall 2013 Has Arrived
It’s time for another fall with Round of Words in 80 Days, the writing challenge that knows you have a life. At the moment, that’s definitely true — I don’t seem to have time to think, much less write a decent post…so I’ll get right to it and leave the quips for later. 🙂 I […]
Sunday Update: A Decent Week
It was a busy summer week, with kind of an odd-ball work schedule that had me in the office on my usual day off. We also went to Eugene for a sibling’s wedding reception and to stay over with my husband’s Dad and step-Mom. Adding to the swirl of excitement over the weekend was the […]
Mid-Week Update: Rolling, Rolling, Rolling
I’ve been a bit remiss in updating, and I must be fast this morning. Last week I wrote just 1,600 words, and did some plotting work for both the remaining chapters of Chaos Calling and the fairytale world I’m working on. I also continued revisions on Descent, the next book I’ll release. While last week’s […]
