Original Fiction: New Beginnings
I settled in my seat – the window, luckily, despite the Southwest boarding nonsense. “Hi,” she said from beside me. “You on business or pleasure?” Her southern twang lent friendliness. “Both. My fiancé is relocating. Spending the weekend looking for a place.” “You’re kiddin’, that’s what I’m doin’!” “What are the odds?” I guess Denver […]

Collision of Worlds
For years I’ve been a writer. A solitary writer alone in my house, celebrating NaNoWriMo wins with my family and handful of writing buddies. Last month, that all changed.

The Third Birthday That Almost Wasn’t
I’ve gotten good at living in the moment and appreciating every day as if it might be my last, each milestone a cause for pause and celebration no matter how small. I turned another year older in January which marks the third birthday that almost wasn’t. What a year it’s been on so many fronts. […]

Setting the Scene in a Small Piece
Let’s talk short fiction for a minute. I learned so much about writing any length piece by writing short stories. For the Secrets & Doors blog tour, each author is discussing an aspect of writing. Writing is far more difficult when each sentence must do more than one thing since you can’t devote an entire […]
