Afraid to Write
I’m putting this out there… I’m afraid to try writing anything right now. Writing used to be my favorite thing to do. Then I started getting published. Don’t get me wrong; being published is awesome. I’m happy about it. I learned a lot about writing through the publishing process, by noting problems in my writing […]

Hibernation
I’m not talking about hibernating animals. I’m talking about myself. For the past month or more, I’ve felt like I was in a cave. Everything seemed dark, and nothing was interesting. I just wanted to sleep, though I got up every day, showered, and got dressed. Some days, that was all I did. I’m not […]

Teaser Thursday- A Perfectly Nice Guy
I’ve been working on this story for a while now. Hopefully sometime soon, it will be finished… After school, I grabbed my stuff out of my locker and left the building before my trig teacher, Mr. Tellier, caught me. Since I hadn’t done the homework, he’d given me detention, but I didn’t want to sit […]

Oops…
January obviously got away from me! I was participating in a blog challenge on my other blog, which required me to post daily, and I completely spaced on posting on this blog. The challenge was fun, and it required me to stretch my brain a great deal to think of enough topics to fill an […]

Playing With Writing
When I was younger, writing stories was a form of playing for me. I created elaborate worlds, populated with many, many characters, and made up whatever I wanted. If I wasn’t in school, I was usually sitting somewhere with a notebook and pen, scribbling something. Or I was using my dolls to act out stories […]

2018: The Year in Advance
Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe 2017 is over already. In 2017, Harmony Ink Press released two of my novels. Midnight Chat, which came out in February 2017, is about Mira, a girl who is trying to keep her best friend Rob from doing something he can’t take back. She believes Rob is only a danger to […]

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!
For those of us who celebrate Christmas, today’s the day. Which means I’m taking the day off from blog posts, writing, and so forth to spend some time with family. (This is not my tree. I wish it were!) I hope everyone who celebrates Christmas has a great holiday, and I hope those who celebrate […]

Teaser- Superaser Saves Christmas
The complete version of this story is available as a PDF download on my Free Reads page. A few yards from the workshop, one of the tiles on the floor was a slightly darker shade of beige than the rest. That explained how the woman could be so definite about where she and Thaddeus were […]

“Which One?”
Recently, I had a conversation with someone I hadn’t heard from in three or four months. He asked whether I’d finished my book. My immediate response was, “Which one?” It isn’t that I’m working on a lot of books at this point, though that used to be the case. From 2009-2015 or so, I was […]
