My personal ‘notes’ for writing!
When your laptop isn’t ready to go….
They say that when writers are flooded with information for their novels, grab the closest notebook and start writing it down!
I just found this notebook, where I wrote every idea I had for The Legacy of the Key I filled the entire notebook up with storyline, plots, descriptions, and character conflicts, etc!
It’s funny to read through them, and see my original concept of writing my first book!
I’m still looking for the notebook that I used to write the nine page outline for Book 2!
Thought I’d share my crazy little life of writing books!!!

Please help us help Amber! Here is her amazing story of survival
Please help us help Amber! Here is her amazing story of survival
On June 30, 2013, Amber Trimble joined the TCFD family as an Emergency Dispatcher in FireComm. Over the next few months she progressed rapidly through training and was nearing becoming a fully functional solo dispatcher when, on September 29, 2013, her world was turned upside down. After working a shift in FireComm, Amber and some friends took a motorcycle ride up towards Shaver Lake. The motorcycle she was on drifted into oncoming traffic and was struck head on, ejecting both of its passengers and bursting into flames. Amber was airlifted to CRMC in critical condition. The driver of her motorcycle did not survive. Their friends who were riding on another motorcycle were also transported to the hospital with injuries.
Amber suffered many broken bones, on all extremities, as well as her pelvis and ribs. Additionally she suffered internal injuries, including a collapsed lung. She was in the hospital for several weeks and has recently been released. Amber is now home where her healing has begun. Because of the external pins holding her pelvis in place, she is not able to sit up and is therefore bed ridden. It is expected that after 6-8 weeks she will be able to start bearing weight and physical therapy will begin to get her moving again. In addition to being bed ridden, both feet are also in casts. Due to the extent of her injuries, Amber is obviously not able to return to work for quite some time.
Unfortunately, Amber was still a probationary employee when this incident occurred. Thankfully her position is being held until she returns; however, because of her non-permanent status (regular employee), the county will not allow a vacation donation bank to be established for her. Amber is only receiving a portion of her income through California Disability Insurance (SDI). In the short time that Amber has been with FireComm she has proven to be such an asset; not just within FireComm, but also by helping to make the National Fallen Firefighter’s Memorial Golf Tournament a success. She has proven to be a professional, generous, fun-loving, compassionate addition to FireComm and the TCFD family.
Amber’s healing process will be a long one, both physically and emotionally as she lost a very dear friend to her in the accident. There is only so much that we can do to help her with the physical and emotional healing. The one thing we can help with is the financial burden being placed on her by not having her full income and having to pay for her Cobra Insurance (an over $500/mo expense she did not have previously).
We ask that you consider making a monetary donation to help relieve the financial burden Amber is bearing because of this tragic incident. All money will go directly to Amber and will be used to cover her Cobra Insurance as well as any other expenses she needs assistance with. No amount is too small, as any donations will help.

Inside story on writing, The Legacy of the Key
While writing, this is a picture of how I imagined the Guardian horses jumping the protective barriers of Pemdas…and landing into the fascinating world of the Pemdai! As I wrote, I had hoped that I was able to accurately write this enchanting world!
In writing, it’s difficult to draw the line between too much description and not enough! I can safely say that the descriptions are my biggest challenge! I can either bore and slow the readers down or bring them into this world with me!

Excerpt & Image from Ancient Guardians: The Legacy of the Key
So I decided I would share an excerpt when Reece first experienced Levi and Harrison’s eyes glow in Ancient Guardians: The Legacy of the Key.
I don’t like giving away full identities of the characters as I like the readers to imagine them in their own minds…so I just decided to give you an idea of how I imagine the Guardians eyes glow while they read mind & handle situations! It might be kind of creepy but it was fun creating the special effects. Pic & excerpt below! Enjoy
Excerpt from Ancient Guardians The Legacy of the Key
She heard a step and looked backward down the aisle. Through the curtain that separated first class from coach, stepped the two young men she had seen earlier. They didn’t stop, but walked toward the cockpit. Now, she was a little concerned. Both men looked extremely somber. She noticed their blue eyes. Very blue eyes. They were almost—they were glowing, like sapphires reflecting the light.
Reece looked around at her fellow passengers, but no one seemed to notice anything strange. In fact, no one seemed to notice anything at all; they all stared straight ahead like mannequins, and the flight attendants were nowhere to be seen.
to notice anything strange. In fact, no one seemed to notice anything at all; they all stared straight ahead like mannequins, and the flight attendants were nowhere to be seen…
Can you decide which one could be Levi or Harrison
