Happy Birthday Dakota. I Miss Your Life...

The truth is ... There hasn't been a day since January 1st that I haven't thought of you. I am still struggling with acceptance, even though the reality of you being gone is painfully obvious. There is a huge void where your love and happiness used to be and way into the quiet there's this chaos that I don't know what to do with after the clock just stopped. I cherish every single memory like

Redefine Your Bookshelf

There are millions of books on Amazon. And at this very moment Running from Solace is #3,236. Not bad, considering that today is the 1 year eve of the day I slid my two-week notice across the conference room table. I've been the CEO of Me since that day. God is Faithful. In honor of the occasion, let's sell some books! I write. You read.

Meet Power Author Kat Flannery & Find Out What Inspires Her

What inspired me to write LAKOTA HONOR:





Once
the promotion and marketing had settled down with my first book Chasing
Clovers, I had the itch to write another book. Soon my fingers found the
keyboard and I was ready to let loose a fantastic tale full of grand
adventures.

Earlier
my publisher had suggested I write something paranormal. Paranormal? Me? I
don’t think so. I was a historical

Dare to Dream BIG with Cheryl Kaye Tardiff

Dare to Dream…and Dream BIG!



It is said that every
person has at least one good story in them! Some people are gifted to have
more than one. Do you know a future writer – someone who dreams of writing

Use Good Manners: CAN I PICK YOUR BRAIN?

A little business and social etiquette. The next time you call on someone that you haven't spoken to in ages...Don't start the conversation with, “I know you are very busy, but I just want to pick your brain for a quick second.”





Your statement says: I know you are very busy. I don't care. I want my question answered right now because I'm more important than anything you presently have going

WHY LAZINESS IS A LUXURIOUS MINDSET THAT I CAN NO LONGER AFFORD TO OWN

The truth is ... I hate when people tell me that I work
too much. Yes, I do work too much, but I hate when people say it to me in a condescending
sort of way. I do not like it when my “busyness” or “work-a-holic” tendencies are used as an excuse to exclude me or to speak for me. I don’t hate it in an angry

Chasity Rules

“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.” - Toni Morrison

I wanted to read about a new millennium woman struggling to maintain control over things in life that are beyond human understanding, love especially. I wanted to laugh and have a few “aha” moments. I wrote this book because I wanted to read it. Chasity Rules is exactly what
