This past Saturday I was fortunate to be a part of book event at Welcome to the Bookstore with some author friends. There was a scavenger hunt, trivial pursuit, author readings, refreshments, drawings, and a whole lot of camaraderie with some amazing authors. I'm equally fortunate to have found such an amazing writer's group to… Continue reading Authors Supporting Authors

Camp NaNo 2016
Coming into the game late, I still made it! Because of sheer stubbornness, of course. I can't stand to lose against myself. 🙂 I didn't decide to participate until April 8th when I decided it would give me the extra encouragement and push I needed to get the revision done on my novel, Finding Abby.… Continue reading Camp NaNo 2016

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
