What do you want to be when you grow up? Where do you see yourself in twenty years (let’s be honest, none of us saw ourselves here when we were asked that back in 2000)? What are your short-term and long-term goals? Want to know a secret? It’s my birthday. While many people probably evaluate […]
Back to Work
This year definitely hasn’t gone the way most of us planned. That’s not to say it’s all been bad, because if we’re honest, it hasn’t. Many good things have happened in my life despite the craziness going on around me. However, I fully admit I’m not exactly where I thought I would be. When 2020 […]
A Different Story
As with us all, I’m sure many of your plans for 2020 have changed over the last few months. When the year began, I set a slightly crazy goal for myself. I wanted to write two new books, publish one (in the works for this October!), get a contract on at least one more, and […]
A Group of Support
When I started down the road to becoming an author, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. Writing seemed a job that required a lot of alone-time, not something I’m good at, as I’ve learned since the COVID-19 pandemic started.

Romance or Love
It’s the season for romance. Valentine’s day is just over a week away. Many people celebrate other milestones around this date, too. My husband and I started dating on February 7th, so we almost always have our date on that day instead of on the busier night of the 14th. Being a romance author, I […]
New Year, New Word
A big trend for the last few years is to pick a word. One word. A single word that encapsulates everything you hope to focus on and accomplish for the whole 365 (366 this year) days. It sounded impossible to me. How did one sum a whole year up in a single word? But last […]
Learning and Growing
“I’m bigger now.” My three-year-old son stands on his dining chair, having refused his booster seat. “But I’m still little, too.” I know exactly how he feels. I have two books published. That’s something I wasn’t sure would ever happen, though it was always a dream. Some days, it still doesn’t feel real. But it […]
