Last night, I finished my novella, 19,200 words with a tearful ending. (Tearful for me anyway.) The joy of typing “the end” put a smile on my face, and a copy is now printed and in my husband’s in box. He gets the first read, before the four authors get together to finalize any changes, […]
I’m taking a quick break from my WIP, the Anthology, SISTERS OF SPIRIT, to update you on my progress. I hit 18,000 words yesterday, so I’m shy of my goal by only 2000 words. I’m adding new conflict, pacing the action, to keep you turning the pages when it finally lands in your hands! Still […]
I haven’t posted lately, because I’ve been hard at work on my Novella, but this weekend, John & I went to NY to attend Sting’s 60th birthday concert. Imagine walking into the Beacon Theater, getting a glass of champagne, and sitting in the 2nd row, just above the center floor. Sting opened the show with […]
Wow, what a vacation. We explored the Northwest on motorcycles. Close to 3000 miles, 5 states, 4 national parks, awesome sights, great company, and lots of laughter. We started in Utah, heading into Idaho to visit Craters of the Moon. On day 2, we rode into Oregon to visit Crater Lake, which still had snow […]

Hard work and persistence pay off and dreams do come true. I’m getting published! On July 11, 2011, I got “the call” from a publishing company. They want to buy an anthology three of my writier friends and I talked about writing. The four of us met with the VP of the publishing company this […]
My revisions on Mystical Connections are almost finished, or so I thought. Romance writer, Jenna Nichols, and hard-nosed journalist, Aidan Scott have other ideas in mind. They’ve both decided we need more conflict and drama. So, they morphed at least four new scenes to help strengthen the story line, and I must admit, they are incredible […]
I just got back from the NEC conference in Salem, MA. Let your imagination take flight is their theme, which perfectly matched the boost I needed in my writing. I guess I was feeling a bit stale, and the wonderful workshops helped pop me back into the passionate state I’m used to being in while creating my stories. […]
Snow last week and flowers blooming this week. I’m stepping out for a long walk because winter has decided to show his face again tomorrow. It’s a sunny in the mid-seventies day, but it’s not going to last. Temperatures drop over night. Back into the thirties, ugh. I’m so ready for the warm weather to […]
The snow melted and the sun shines strong. It is 74 degrees here in St. Loius – unbelievable for mid-February, but I love it. Could this be a sign that winter is behind us? I can hope, can’t I? I’m close to finishing my revisions for Mystical Connections, then work continues on Passion’s Promise. Seven chapters […]
