We’re coming up on the most wonderful time of the year again. Christmas musicals, candlelight ceremonies, carolers, and cookies. While Christmas is a celebration of Jesus’s birth, it is also a time for giving. I’ll be the first to admit I struggle with the stress of gifts around this time of year. I love buying […]
The Art and Soul of Writing
Beginnings are often an identifiable moment. I remember my first day of high school and my first day at my first job. I remember when I changed my college major to English and set the course of my academic career. I remember the day my husband and I bought our home. I remember my wedding […]

The most difficult part of writing books isn’t always writing the book. In my three years in the indie author community, I’ve learned that we all have our strengths and weaknesses.

The Perks of the Job
I can’t say I’ve always wanted to be a writer. In fact, I didn’t care one bit about being an author, publishing a book, or writing my own stories until… well, until I tried it. Turns out, writing is just as fun as reading. So when I’m writing, I don’t think of it as a […]
