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 […]

Except for the banquet, swimming is over for this year. My girls were 4th at State! I truly didn’t expect that high a place so I was pleasantly surprised. Wow! is more like it. They worked so hard and put in so much swimming time. Focused and dedicated would be two good words to describe them. But now that swimming is over, I’m focused and […]

Just received word that I need to send Highland Song to my editor by the end of the month. So I’ve got to make next week work better for me than this one. But it’s exciting. It has been over a year since I had deadlines. I’m ready. I’ll be reading all day and taking notes. I may even take the ms to State next […]

This has been a tough week for me. No writing and I’m feeling withdrawal pains. I haven’t even found the time to edit. I started a new project in my Personal Finance class and it has taken almost 100% of my school time as well as time outside class. It’s been very hectic but I think it will be worth the time I’ve put into […]

What city or place do you think is the most romantic place in the world? The prize: a copy of one of my books and a bag of valentine goodies. Will Joye from Arizona, the winner of my last contest […]
