While the Internet provides the virtual world at our fingertips, making it possible to do research for writing projects that we otherwise wouldn't be able to do, it's the hands-on research that benefits me the most. The times that get me out of my office and catapults me into the real world of experience. Of course, I… Continue reading Research Life Hands On

Nature’s Voice
On a morning run recently I was running behind a squirrel who had a large plastic wrapper in its mouth. The wrapper blocked his view, so he was running in a zig zag fashion trying to get away, failing at his endeavor. As I got closer, he ditched the wrapper (literally) and bee-lined in a straight… Continue reading Nature’s Voice
RMFW Conference
This past weekend I attended the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writer's (RMFW) Conference in Westminster, Colorado. This was my first--but definitely not my last--with this group. I was impressed and blessed from the moment I arrived to the moment I left. The sessions offered were exactly what every writer needs to know in order to grow, not to… Continue reading RMFW Conference
Book Signing a Success
My book signing this past Saturday was better than I had even expected. The highlight, however, was not the books sold, but the 11-year old who visited my table. She loves to write and I could see the light dance in her eyes as she talked about it. I saw myself in that little girl and… Continue reading Book Signing a Success

Timeout Tuesday
It's been a while since I've done a Timeout Tuesday, and with the beautiful scenery from my trip to the mountains last weekend, I figured today's the day. So pour a cup of tea/coffee/drink of choice, and wander with mother nature. “I felt my lungs inflate with the onrush of scenery—air, mountains, trees, people. I thought,… Continue reading Timeout Tuesday
Hodge Podge and Update
I've been a bit of a slacker lately. Although, I guess slacker isn't an accurate term. Life has been exceptionally busy, but I'm so grateful that I've got a good life to live. My son was the passenger in a car that was totaled in an accident two days ago and he came out of it with… Continue reading Hodge Podge and Update
Writing Communities
For a writer, deciding to belong to a community of other writers will be one of the best choices you make. Writers understand other writers and the struggles we all go through like no one else can. It's similar, I suppose, to any group of people with like interests. Cops can understand each other's black… Continue reading Writing Communities
