Flying the Coop, the second novel in my Dreambird Chronicles trilogy, is out today.

Many years ago, I conceived of a future world where the U.S. has fractured along racial and rural vs. urban divides to become the Disunited States. It's frightening to see how much closer we are getting to the post-s Read more of this blog post »

So thrilled to announce the publication of my third novel, THE STRUGGLE, by Black Rose Writing, on June 30th. (It's not posted on Goodreads yet as of this date.)

Finally saw the illustrations for my next picture book!

What I had in my mind is totally different from what the illustrator, Luis, created.

He's really good at what he does, and is a great communicator and very transparent, which is what we all want when working with an illustrator.

How much do you want to know?

Not everything is readily understandable. Some things, words or actions, take more time than others to understand. It is when we take the time, in prayer, that "the LORD [will give us] wisdom; from his mouth [will] come knowledge and understanding" (Proverbs 2:6). So, if Read more of this blog post »

Social media, mainstream media as well, are making money through an old fashioned concept - speaker’s corner.

Get someone, preferably with a loud voice, to start preaching and the money starts rolling in whether they’re left-wing, right-wing, Christian, communist, black, white . . . It really doesn’

Happy 4th of July!

Last week I learned that a copy of my book is now available at my local library. Here is the picture of it going on the shelf:

So since Tales of the Seeress is now available at the library, I want to thank the staff at Chattahoochee Valley Libraries for putting it there.

I've been stuck for a while. I hate to even admit that because I don't get stuck. At least, that's what I always say when people sidle up to complain about writer's block. I know it's real, I just don't experience it. Or rather, I didn't think I experienced it.

Lately, writing has just been blah. Whe

For close to a decade, I’ve been observing the practice of choosing a word by which to live for the new year. This is inspired by One Word 365, and I have found it a preferable alternative to making resolutions. Most years that I’ve done this, I have experienced positive results: it has added

Read UNEXPECTED in public with caution! Predictable experiences of reviewers include: snotty hiccup crying, temper tantrums, giving reading device and/or author the bird, and maniacal relief laughter.

I am in the editing process for the first book of my Entangled Web series. If you have followed me for a while, you know I continue to push back the release date.

I absolutely love that we talk about “vulnerability” so much today, but we need to address how it’s used in our writing.

It’s not airing your dirty laundry or a full-on gripe fest about what happened. It’s not about complaining, shaming, or blaming, but rather about owning our truth. It’s about openi

What does joy feel like? Does joy feel the same for you as it does for me?
