I remember school being canceled for a day or two because of flu. I remember ducking under my desk at school with my arms over my head and go-home drills during the Cold War. I remember being stuck at home while the snow piled high, closing roads and businesses. I don’t recall a time […]
What A Headache
I get a lot of headaches. I’m not sure why, but I’d like to figure it out sometime so I can make them stop. Most days I wake up with a headache, but I’m able to push through it. I go to work, and by mid-morning it’s generally faded to almost nothing. A twinge that’s […]
Forever Music Back Cover Copy Reveal
It isn’t time to reveal the cover art yet, but I’m sharing the back cover copy of my fourth novel, Forever Music, today! The main characters are Josie Daniels and Ches Windham. While I’m working on another round of edits, my heart flutters a bit thinking that this book releases in May. That’s just two […]
A New Experience … or Two
In my desire to stretch myself this year, I have already tried a few new things. I signed on with a CelebrateLit multi-author giveaway. How did it go? Well, I gained over 50 new followers on Facebook, and around 30 on my newsletter. I decided to finally bite the bullet and do a newsletter. So […]

Romantic gestures, from dinners out to theatrical wedding proposals, fill every feed. Images of baby Yoda are replaced with chocolates, wine, and roses. And if baby […]
Romance? Yes, Please!
I didn’t marry my high school sweetheart. I didn’t have one. I didn’t marry my college sweetheart either, for the same reason. I was well into being a single sophisticate, or so I thought, when I met my future husband. I remember the night well–where we were, what I was wearing, how I flirted with […]
The Silencer- The Completion of a Series
If you would have told me years ago that I would be here right now, with the completion of my first series, I probably would have laughed. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to write a series. I did. I just didn’t know where to start or even begin to know how to find a […]
