Summer vacation has begun and I’ve been taking full advantage of it. Two weeks of vacation in the East and almost 3,000 miles driven I am happy to be home. All in all it was a great time and my husband and I saw some incredible sights as well as some historical sights I have always wanted to visit. The highlight of my trip was […]

Where has spring gone? I certainly don’t know. It’s the end of May. School is almost out and I’m trying to wrap everything in a nice tidy bow. I don’t think it’s going to happen. Rogue Phoenix Press has sent out it’s first contract. We are still looking for wonderful and unique stories that don’t fit the mold but hold the readers attention and leave […]

How to find enough time to do all the things I want to as well as take time to play? I don’t know. I would love to start a new contest but I haven’t figured out how to contact the winners of my contests and send them their prizes. It can’t be that difficult but somehow nothing seems to work for me. If you are […]

I can’t believe I haven’t posted anything since March 25. We’ve encountered the coldest weather for April. No one could believe that we had snow during spring vacation. And there was snow on the beach! That was incredible. I’m back at school and trying to finish An Uncommon Thief. I’ve written 99,000 words and I still have 2 chapters to go. I do believe this […]

Looking forward to another bright sunny day here in the rainy part of the country. It’s great outside and maybe I’ll get a little work done in the garden. My husband very sweetly spent the day outside so he wouldn’t bother me while I was writing. How nice it is to have a sensitive husband. Oh, yeah. The hero and heroine start to patch up […]

It’s raining again. The wind is blowing and it’s just a gorgeous stormy day. I’m writing and my “to do” list isn’t growing any smaller, but I’ve made significant progress on my book. So how does the heroine end up knee deep in water in the middle of a lake and in a sinking boat? Does the hero show up in time to save her? […]

Spring break! I’m looking forward to getting some of the things on my ‘to do’ list checked off. And writing. I haven’t had the energy to write and now that vacation time is upon us, I hope to change that. I have big plans to finish the rough draft of An Uncommon Thief. But I’m going to have to write about 2,000 words a day. […]

Gosh, it’s been a long time since I’ve been able to sit down and write anything. I didn’t win. Darn, I didn’t win. I knew going to the Eppies, I wouldn’t win but I guess I really wanted to win. Maybe next year. At least I finaled. That was something I’ve never done before. One small step at a time, they always say. Congratulations to […]

This is different from anything I have ever posted before. But today I would like to put forth Rachel’s challenge and continue a chain of kindness among the people I know. Friday at Stayton High School, the student council presented an assembly that was meant to change lives. Rachel Scott was the first person who died at Columbine High School. She was an extraordinary young […]
