New Beginnings
Yesterday, I had a long conversation with a gentleman. He was discussing his upcoming anniversary (24 years!) and telling me about the adventures he had at his wedding. Apparently, it was quite the event. It had already been a fairly long day, so I didn’t stop to do the math to find out the year […]

My Own Stupidity
I’m a pretty confident person. And usually, I’m a fairly smart individual. Not one prone to random bouts of folly nor known as a bumbling idiot. I’ve been told that I’m a bit overconfident. I don’t honestly think that’s the case. I simply think that I understand myself rather well and know that while I don’t […]

Meet Janetta Fudge-Messmer

I met Janetta during the Amelia Island Book Festival and quickly found out that she is a lady who loves to make people laugh. Over the course of the day, we shared countless stories about childhood and unusual names […]

Writer’s Block? Maybe It’s Time to Declutter
This morning I should be writing. I want to write. There’s a novel that’s dying to leap onto the page. I’m sitting here in the kitchen at table. A sky is beautiful outside. The birds are singing. My pen is poised over the paper ready to strike at any moment. And. . . Nothing! Not one single, solitary thing. […]

Gift of the Blarney – Famous Irish Authors
Kiss me, I’m Irish! Well, sort of. I married into a family of Irish descent. That counts, right? (We won’t worry about that divorce today. I mean, everybody’s Irish on St. Patrick’s Day!) Admittedly, the vast majority of my family tree comes straight from jolly ol’ England. We’ve found records of our forefathers who were […]

Best Little Coffee Shop in Georgia!
I’d like to take a moment and introduce you to two very dear friends of mine, Jaimie Miller and Victoria Hawkins, owners of Between Friends Coffee Shop located in Warner Robins, Georgia. A place that I like to call ‘The Best Little Coffee Shop in Georgia.’ That’s an unofficial title, of course, but one that […]

What’s In a Name? The Art of Naming Your Characters
A friend of mine asked me yesterday how I come up with the names for my characters. That’s a great question but not necessarily the easiest to answer. For me, naming my characters is one of the most difficult parts of writing. And my process, such as it is, varies from project to project. In […]
