Summer has been long and hot, as they tend to be in Arizona! But the nights are starting to get cooler and I can see some fall-ish days in our near future!! I hope this post is finding everyone relaxed and refreshed after a summer of activity and vacations. I know I’m ready for theContinue reading “It’s been a while!”

Sometimes writing is all about finding the perfect spot…a place that’s quiet enough to focus…but not so quiet you can’t find your thoughts. Does that make sense? I’m lucky to work at a job where I get every other Friday off. Yes, we work an extra hour every day to earn that day off, soContinue reading “The Perfect Writing Spot”

Wow, how is it mid-January already?? The holiday season definitely consumed me this year, but it was all good! Lots of family time, lots of relaxation, and lots of yummy foods 🙂 I hope all of you are well rested, healthy, and ready to begin the new year! I’ve been overwhelmed and just incredibly gratefulContinue reading “It’s Been a While!”

What a crazy moment when I first saw my book in my virtual library with all the other books I’ve been reading! Today will be a relaxing,Continue reading “It’s here!!”

Thankfully, I am on theContinue reading “Release Day: Sep. 30th!!”

Yesterday was such an exciting day! I finally received the proof copies of A Year in Exile. It was very surreal to hold a copy in my hands after all this time. It has taken me about two years to write this book. It’s not the writing process itself that held me back, it wasContinue reading “Proof copies are here!”

Such an exciting morning! My final sized-and-ready-to-go book cover was sitting in my Inbox this morning. The amazingly talented Thea Magerand (ikaruna.com) created my cover and I’m in love with it! I immediately uploaded it to KDP and ordered my proof copies. This is finally getting real!! This is the part of writing your firstContinue reading “Final Cover”

I love food! And I love incorporating it into my stories. I recently read through one of my manuscripts and realized they eat a lot of soup. So much soup I thought about changing it up because who eats that much soup?? Then I realized, I do! So I left it. There’s nothing more comfortingContinue reading “Food!”
