Self-Editing Class

Start off the year with a course in how to self edit your fiction. I’ll present a two-week course through Savvy Authors from January 10-24, 2022, that will give you tips on finding and fixing passive wording, redundancies or implied words, telling structure, dangling and misplaced modifiers, slips in point of view and how to create deep POV. A refresher on punctuation is also included. Participants receive feedback on editing assignments based on the six lessons.

Release day for Sweet Inspiration

Dependable Cadence Wills yearns for excitement. The owner of a yarn business, she is pulled in every direction by her demanding family. Haunting dulcimer notes draw her to a practice session where she spies an intriguing stranger.
Musician Rafe Frasco is a rover, bouncing between musical competitions. Interest ignites at his first glance at a woman enthralled by his music, who he learns has a heart big enough to encompass everyone within her reach.
A fantastic opportunity for Rafe presents Cadence with a dilemma—is she strong enough to negotiate the business deal that will take him away…maybe forever?
