The Legacy
THE LEGACY is finished and ready to go to Winged Publications. It’s been a journey! First I had to learn about ghosts so as to be reasonably accurate in my portrayal of two of the main characters’ ancestor who just happens to be both a ghost and a witch. So I wrote the novella and …

Re-writing. Ugh.
I struggle to get a first draft written but when it’s done, there’s seldom much rewriting to do because every time I sit down to write I first go back over what I wrote the previous day and make any changes that seem appropriate. Unless I’m writing a new and different kind of story. Then …

I’m thinking …

Never thought changing just one little thing in the stories I’m telling would create such angst. But it did. Had to research ghosts and …

Autumn Campfires and S’mores
I think of autumn as campfire season because the weather is cool enough to enjoy the heat of the fire and too warm for there to be snow. A plus is that the summer mosquitoes are pretty much gone. Of course marshmallows, Hershey bars, and graham crackers that become S’mores when the marshmallows are roasted …

The Vortex
Here’s the cover for my next book, THE VORTEX, to be published soon by Winged Publications. It’s a time travel romance. It shows how disrupting traveling in time can be even if the time jump isn’t huge. Just 10 years. But that’s enough. More than enough. If you want to find out what I’m talking …

Autumn
My husband and I planted this tree 18 or 20 years ago. Look at it now. Gorgeous. I love autumn.
