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 […]
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 […]

The beautiful fall day mixed with yummy food (turkey!) and family. I can’t get in the Christmas mood until turkey day is over. NaNoWriMo also plays a huge role. In years […]
Most Favorite Time of Year
It’s my favorite time of year. The leaves are turning colors and turning loose so that every walk has a crunch to it. The days and nights are cooler, with frosty mornings calling for sweaters and socks and boots. Pumpkin is the main dessert option with all it’s warm spices. Halloween has just finished, full […]

How do you start a story? Where do you get your ideas? As an author, that is a question I get asked again and again. And I’ve narrowed it down to one answer. An answer that is a question in itself.
