It feels like I’ve been in a season of change for the past year. I don’t know about you, but I’m not a fan of change most of the time, so I tend to resist it, until I finally accept it and then embrace it. This past year has been a huge time of change […]
A Strong Foundation
Everything should be built on a strong foundation if it is intended to stand the test of time. That is as true for a house as it is for a story. Story needs a strong foundation. Think of your favorite books. What do they have in common: a phenomenal story world or perhaps amazing […]
The Art of a Staycation
If you are anything like me you are staying close to home this summer. I thought it would be fun to talk about staycations. There is an art to a staycation. For instance, it wouldn’t be much of a vacation if you had to cook, so takeout is a must. :) Basically, if it’s something […]
The Power of Friendships
Recently I was reminded of the power of friendship when I held a live/video Facebook party to celebrate a new release. I was a little concerned that no one would show up live, and I’d be there for the specified thirty minutes all alone. But my friends came to the rescue. I wasn’t […]
The Power of Restoration in Fiction and Giveaway

I’m not stressed about this plan, but rather cautiously optimistic even though multiple obstacles have […]

When Life Throws you Ice Cubes Make Hot Chocolate
Last month my husband and I were able to get away for a short trip to Disney World. I craved sunshine and heat and had found an amazing deal. Sadly, the weather didn’t cooperate. It was literally freezing one morning. Below is the outfit I wore on our last day in the park. It was […]

Ready or Not, 2020 is Here!
I like to ease into the new year. LOL Though I’m not sure that’s possible, since like it or not, 2020 is here. Facing the unknown can be daunting. Personally, I like knowing what is to come, that way I can be prepared. But life doesn’t always work that way. Professionally, I know I have […]
