Laying in bed and undoubtedly enjoying every minute of spring break. Here's what I've learned since December 25th, 2023. Writing in the fantasy genre is a different unicorn. It's possible no one that liked my 1st book will like my second book and lastly... I am a better human for all of it. Red Rock Read more of this blog post »

If someone had told me how challenging writing a book was, I think I might run! No that's not true. My journey started many years ago and I knew that I needed to write my book not only for my own cathartic reasons but also because I knew in my heart that I could help others that were in their journe Read more of this blog post »

It's been a while since we talked, so I thought it was about time to give a little life update. The chickens have started laying green eggs (perfect timing with a dozen eggs now $95). We've added guinea pigs to the farm and they've become my new favorite little oinkers. Can we talk about how brave t

Recently in my reader group, we decided to do a group re-read of all my books.

With nine years in this industry under my belt, there are quite a few books out there and most of them I haven't read through in years. So in a strange way, it's like I'm reading them for the first time.

That is, until I ge Read more of this blog post »

I fell into the dictionary again today and learned that Old Norse fífl (“fool”) also meant “monster” (cf Old English fifal “monster”), hence the fíflmegir (“monster men”) who rowed the hellship from Muspellheim that Loki steered on the way to Ragnarǫk. I wondered if the same word meaning “fool” and

Hello life

I was never the star.
Not even of my own yarn.

Those wild adventures
Were my imagination
Never an anecdote of mine.
Those brutal fights
I overheard or resolved
Never touched my shrine.
Those passionate romances

Never broke out of the printed confine.
Those texts Read more of this blog post »

It was February 2013. I'd been freelance book editing since losing my magazine job—on a day christened "Bloody Wednesday" in NY publishing—just before Christmas in 2008. Freelancing is a feast or famine deal, and I'd had close to a month of famine when a voice in my head whispered, "It's time. Pull Read more of this blog post »

1. If you had to give up either snacks and drinks during writing sessions, or music, which

I’d find it difficult to give up strong, milky coffee and cheese. Cheese sandwiches - I’m addicted to them.

Welcome to Zombie Week! Our clocks went forward last night, and I’m already dreading the coming week. Moving to summer time puts my internal clock out of whack, and every year it takes me at least a week of headaches and yawning at inappropriate times to adjust to the change.
