Reading Revelations
I have been reading The Bodhisattva Warrior for days doing a chapter by chapter summary so I can write a synopsis. It is a long book and it’s not even done yet. I’m 36 chapters in and I’ve found the best line so far. Rolf has had the piece of himself that is Hephaestus […]

Healthy Writing & Manifestations
Good morning! And it is, despite my pain levels. I want to talk about the one thing that happens world wide when the Roman calendar changes over to a new year – resolutions. Why do we insist that “a new year means a new me!”? ” I’m going to quit smoking!” ”…eat […]

A Sneak Peek
I am excited to be back to work. I’ve been working on the pages for my website and I thought I would offer you, my lovelies, a sneak peak at a couple pages. The site will be set up so that you can see lists of books and your favourite characters. Each one will be […]

Gratitude Attitude Part Deux
Happy new year to you. January first, and the week before it, is often a time of reflection for people. It’s about the previous year, where they are now, where they want to be, things they wish were different about themselves or in their lives. Nearly everyone indulges in this exercise and nearly everyone […]

Happy Yule! Merry Christmas!
Sorry to put it that way but my memory is lousy before breakfast. It is Christmas Eve here in the western side Northern Hemisphere, though I’m sure Santa is just about ready to start his run, if not just beginning it, way in the east. I have been a bad, neglectful blogger this month […]

Inspiration!
So there I am brushing my teeth and watching the end of TLC’s Four Weddings when a story idea popped out of my froth-filled mouth. ”You know what would be awesome?” I queried the man sitting on the love seat. The man in question, The Boyfriend, looked up from his computer and said, “What?” I […]

NaNo is almost done!
Finally! I have had a really rough go of it this time around. Computer developed problems, had several appointments, back went out and this NaNo has been incredibly difficult to write. Haley’s Magicdecidedthat it was doneat just under 18k. That was it, story ended, nothing left to write. I was left looking like […]

Check it out!
A few weeks ago we went to visit the GrandBaby and while we were driving there we noticed a little version of our favourite bookstore. So, of course, we went in. It was there that I met Ms. Dayla. Lovely woman to talk to. We had an exuberant conversation about books (that made me realize […]

Autumn Beach
Hello my lovelies. I am so sorry it’s been so long! Bad author. It’s NaNo this month and I’ve been thinking and writing and spacing (because that’s normal) and actually managing to accomplish it. I’m good to finish if I keep the rate I’m at. However! Haley’s Magic is not a novel. It is […]
