Fiction that Makes You Wonder: How Much is True?
Are you like me? Do you find yourself Googling Did that really happen? while reading a book or watching a movie or TV show that has roots in real life? (I’m looking at you,The Crown).

Making Faces
Have you ever noticed when a character makes a certain facial expression … well … a LOT? I think I notice things like that more because I catch myself doing it when I write. My characters have this tendency to lift one eyebrow higher than the other. Why? Yeah. I have a tendency to do […]
