I’m Signing in Woodford County This Saturday For Charity

I’m signing in my home town of Versailles, Kentucky this Saturday, November 1, 2014, at the Woodford County Library along with at least 20 other authors, including some New York Times and USA Today Bestselling authors.

All profits from the sale of books from the Mindspeak series as well as any additional donations will be donated to the Woodford County Backpack Buddies, who serves 170 children at this time by providing weekend food to children in need in Woodford County.

I hope you’ll come see...

RIP Dear Kindle

So, my Kindle died over the weekend. I believe I owned what was considered a 2nd generation Kindle. It was what is known today as a paperwhite, because the screen looks just like you’re reading a paperback book. No fancy touch screen. No color. Just me, the black and white page, a glass of wine, and a bathtub filled with water and bubbles. At least that’s the setting I’ll always remember my dear Kindle in.

I loved my kindle because of it’s age. I could have dropped it in the tub (I didn’t BTW)...

WELCOME TO MY NEW WEBSITE!

Things look a bit different around here, don’t ya think? I am so thrilled to welcome you to my new digs.

So, why the new website?

Well, basically, because I get bored easily, and I was tired of the old one. I wanted something new and more responsive, and I wanted a website that highlighted a few of the social media platformsI use the most and my biggest news at the moment.

I also wanted the front page of my website to be a clear indication of what’s going on in my little corner of the world.

After postingthe blogpost titled, “Can You Make a Career Change Without Family Support,” a reader messaged me the following question:

I read your blog post – thank-you! I have a question for you, as one who has switched careers. What kind of advice would you give someone (like me) who has the dream of another career, but absolutely no support from her spouse? I’m having a hard time keeping my dream alive, in my heart, because it seems I wo...

Open For Business

Good news! I’ve opened an online store. You can now purchase signed copies of all three books in the Mindspeak trilogy directly from me. Yay!!

A special treat for that special teen in your life?

Happy Thursday! We are TWENTY DAYS away from the official launch of MINDSURGE, the final book in the Mindspeak trilogy, and I couldn’t be more excited.I’m putting final touches on the manuscript this week: typo corrections, formatting, a note from me at the end, acknowledgements, etc.

So, why am I talking about characters for a fourth novel when I’ve clearly stated that Mindsurge is the end of the trilogy? Because I love you guys, of course! And because I have another story speaking to me. As...

My friend Juliette Cross invited me over to her blog today for Books, Baubles, and Bad Boys in which I discuss my favorite books, Magic 8 Balls, and Jonas (my favorite “bad boy”).

It’s the heartacheof not knowing how you can possibly continue to work the job that is paying bills AND keep pursuing your dream job.But you know in your head, in you heart, and in your eyes—eyes that won’t stay open because you’ve started sleeping only four hours a night in order to fit your dream job around the hours of your day job and family life—that something’s gotta give.

Last week, I listed Ten...
