I hope December is being kind to you all. After hearing what the temps are in Minnesota (a high of -6 today!), I’m grateful to live in Colorado.

What If?
There are a few books that I have read/listened to over and over and over. And each time, I pick up something I missed the time before, positive it wasn't there the last time I read it; I was sure the book goblins added it to the page and reshelved it in my bookcase, or… Continue reading What If?

Reading Like a Writer
I realize this is a topic that has been addressed numerous times, but it's become such a huge part of how I read, that I wanted to share things I look for. It provides for reading entertainment as well as learning from people who have gotten to where I'm journeying toward with my first novel,… Continue reading Reading Like a Writer
