Last week was not a good one. In all honesty, it started on the 23rd. That evening, we lost a feline companion of 16+ years. Athena was, hands down, the most intelligent cat I've ever had the privileged of being owned by. She more than lived up to her name. Whenever I'd get on one … Continue reading Channeling life’s changes into your writing

Storms, writing, and me
I love storms. Wind, rain...all of it.As long as I'm home, cozy, warm, and not driving in it anyway. LOL We aren't discussing how much I still dislike snow after my last real encounter kept me from my event.Right now, it's the kind I love. Rain is coming down in sheets, echoing throughout the house … Continue reading Storms, writing, and me
The Event that Wasn’t
So, last week. After all the anticipation and preparation, the book club visit got cancelled. Not because of me. The weather was far from co-operative!Here in the Pacific NW, we don't see snow often. Let me correct that a little. The east side of Washington and Oregon do. Us west coast residents are used to … Continue reading The Event that Wasn’t
Priorities
It was a good week. Especially for fans of the Seattle Seahawks.Yeah, I'm a football fan. I'm not one of those who plays in a fantasy league, knows the stats for certain players, or plays armchair quarterback. In my opinion, the coach knows more about the game than I do and I won't second guess … Continue reading Priorities
The truth about appearances
Good morning!Wow. I'm feeling like I've accomplished something here. It's Monday morning, and I'm writing my blog. I really do want to get back to doing this every week, and life is being accommodating.There's something truly terrifying about doing a public appearance as an author. It's not much different than stage fright, really. Here's a … Continue reading The truth about appearances
Happy anniversary!
Yesterday was a special day for me. It marked two years since I signed my first ever book contract. That's right. It's only been two short years.It's amazing how my life has changed since that day. I'm not talking about professionally, even though that alone makes me shake my head in wonder some days. I'm … Continue reading Happy anniversary!
New year, new job, new links, new post!
Wow. What a change a single year can contain.In 2013, I had an incredible year. A total of five books released under my own name, plus two short stories included in an anthology. A new job. Less of me (weight wise), interviews, and so much more.So, what's got 2014 in store for me? Well, I … Continue reading New year, new job, new links, new post!

Yule beckons
It's the time of year that I love. The days are short, the nights are long, and the morning has the ground covered in frost.Please note, I love it more NOW since I don't have to drive my youngest to school in the mornings. I can wait, nursing my tea or coffee, for the sun … Continue reading Yule beckons
