5 LONG years have passed! I feel like the meme going around with the lady from the Titanic movie about how much time has passed. While it hasn’t been that long, it has been a minute since I published a book. My latest book, The Renovation, was released on December 15. I debated whether [...]
Back in October, I shared the reason for changing my current book. The story had evolved into a series (a recent habit of mine). As I started working on the story, I recognized that my characters' gifts needed deeper development. Learn more about it in my appearance on the Open Door Podcast. This meant a [...]
The end of the year is here. My Christmas holidays were relaxing and also fun. I was able to spend quality time with my kids, but I also got time with myself as the kids were with their dad just after Christmas. During my time alone, I decided to do a little work, but not [...]
A while back, I decided to work on a book I'd written over twenty years ago. One of the first books that I sent to publishers hoping they'd see the uniqueness of it. They didn't because the story was hopelessly flawed. When I decided to pluck it from the mountain of old story ideas and [...]
When you believe everything in your life is settling down, changes and shifts will happen. There's no escaping it, whether it's in your business or personal life.

Summer is over. This might be a sad time for teachers, but for parents-especially those working from home-there are no sweeter words. My daughter started kindergarten this week, bringing in a new era. My baby is officially a student. I admit it. I cried a little. My son is clearly NOT thrilled that summer is [...]
It's July 1st! Many people are gearing up for Summer, whether it's planning their vacation, or starting it. It's a special time for readers and writers who are planning their Summer reading list. For me, today is the first time my book, For the Love of Jazz, is being promoted as a KDD (Kindle Daily Deal) for [...]
When people find out I wrote a book I usually get two responses: 1. Cool! I've always wanted to write a book. I have this great story idea. 2. Where did you find the time with two kids and a full-time career? If the response is the first one, I invite them to join my [...]
What an amazing book tour! My head is still reeling from the wonderful reviews and that I didn't have to beg friends and family to leave a comment or keep me company. :-) Not to mention the very professional Goddess Fish Promotions and their reviewers. I couldn't have asked for a better book tour. Absolutely delightful! [...]
