THE NEWS "We're moving to Florida!" Those were my husband words in February when he decided to get a new job. Although I knew the possibility of him getting a job outside of Grand Cayman was high, part of me hoped he would find one where we lived. When I first heard the words, panic struck [...]
March 2-6 was reading week at my son's school. First Baptist Christian School invited me to read one of the books they were celebrating, and to speak with students about writing, being an author, and my experiences on the journey to publication. I attended Thursday the 5th, spoke with kids in grades 3-5, and had [...]
Earlier this year InD'tale asked me to be a judge for the RONE awards. I wasn't able to participate last year due to writing deadlines, but I was excited to get involved this year. My main reason was to give back to InD'tale Magazine who do so much to help educate and promote authors. The big surprise was the [...]
Two blog posts in less than a week? Did I get struck by the writing gods? Nope. But wouldn't that be awesome?! My Wordpress yearly analysis bluntly informed me that my content in 2013 was better than my 2014. Ouch! Thanks for the eye opener WordPress.

For me, today is the first time my book, For the Love of Jazz, is being promoted as a KDD (Kindle Daily Deal) for [...]
Did you get an e-book settlement? Don’t give them your money back! Traditional publishers raised e-book prices, and the legal system went after them for it. You may have recently gotten notified that you are getting some money back from them. This is your risk-free chance to discover a great book you’ve never read, and [...]
In an earlier post I talked about goals and remembering the ones you completed that weren't on your original list. That got me thinking about the people in my life. Okay, I also read it on someone's blog. You caught me. :-) The post mentioned remembering to thank the people in our lives. During this time of [...]
It's hard to believe it's been a year since my first book, For the Love of Jazz, was published. To say it's been an enlightening journey would be an understatement. There have been good things and bad, ups and downs, and challenges and rewards beyond my wildest dreams. Other than wishing I knew then what I [...]
