I've decided to become more active with Goodreads, "the" social networking site for bibliophiles. I've had an author page since my book was published last June, but I never took the time to do anything with it. In taking a tour of all Goodreads has to offer, I am so impressed! What a beautiful way to support… Continue reading Goodreads Giveaway

Aha! Moment
It occurred to me the other day that the novel I'm working on wasn't really...working. While I'm having a ball writing it, developing the characters, having fun with the dialogue and setting, it felt too shallow and like it was missing the mark. Like perhaps a riveting plot? Yes, that could be a problem. While… Continue reading Aha! Moment
The Inheritance – Prologue
I want to share the prologue to my novel, The Inheritance. If interested, it can be found on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Goodreads, and Old Firehouse Books. ********************************************************************* The stars shone brilliantly above, sparkling through the moon roof of the Mercedes, the countryside speeding by as the car hugged the road's twists and curves neatly… Continue reading The Inheritance – Prologue
Back from the Land of NaNo
I'm back from the land of NaNoWriMo 2014. And what a trip is was! I'm already looking forward to Camp NaNo in July. There's something about knowing your part of a tribe of writers from all over the world that are all together in this journey of reaching the destination of 50,000 words in a month that creates… Continue reading Back from the Land of NaNo
T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday
My Top Three For the Week: 3.) Watching the movie Jane Austen's Bookclub - again. I never tire of that movie. Or You've Got Mail. If you haven't seen them, you won't regret taking the time to do so. 2.) Finding a quote that I needed to read exactly when I read it. Allow me to share it… Continue reading T.G.I.F. – Gratitude Friday
And This…
...is what I did this morning. Camp NaNo 2014 complete. What a great feeling it is. And with that, I think I'll just sit and enjoy the view for the rest of the day. Though I have to admit, I'm already looking forward to camp next year. 🙂
Healing Words
Today, July 8th, marks eight days of celebrating life, and each day hereafter, yet another. A year ago, I posted a blog entry on life circumstances that have made July a very difficult month to get through. I had mentioned how each year I would find myself holding my breath just waiting for July to end,… Continue reading Healing Words
Who’s up for Going to Camp?
Where? At Camp NaNo. 🙂 November is National Novel Writing Month but the NaNo team also holds camps in April and July. Though Camp NaNo is somewhat smaller than November's hoopla, from what I see in numbers, it has grown considerably since its inception. The difference between the one held in November and April and July's Camp is… Continue reading Who’s up for Going to Camp?
Why Do You Write?
Sandi Ault, author of the bestselling, award-winning WILD Mystery Series, was one of the presenters at the Northern Colorado Writer's Conference I attended this past March, and one of her sessions was called Writing for Love, Prestige, or Profit. To say the class was filled beyond capacity is an understatement. We were very cozy with those sitting around us!… Continue reading Why Do You Write?
