It was 2005 or 2006, when I began writing THE TIME-LOST GIRL. I remember sitting in the living room on my laptop... Outside the window, I could see the sky changing from black to orange and pink as the sun rose—yes, I stayed up all night (and I’m still a night owl). My empath was … Continue reading The TIME-LOST Writer: From (Literal) Dream to Literary Reality
Writing
New and Improved…
... Well, hopefully. Hello, Folks! It has been SO long. Life has been one long distraction, I’m afraid. I do apologize for my distractability (I was actually recently diagnosed with ADHD, so there ya’ go). Not only have I let this blog go, I have, unfortunately, let my writing go for far too long. So, … Continue reading New and Improved…
Back in the saddle again…
(Ha ha... my title just makes me picture the opening to an episode of Supernatural...) Well, hello, all... It's me... I've been gone for far too long... my energy is returning -- it was all I could do (out of curiosity, I googled this idiom) to keep my eyes open, being pregnant while caring for … Continue reading Back in the saddle again…
Wow… Where Did I Go?
Oh! Here I am! 🙂 Yeah... I kinda disappeared from the whole world for a while there... I found out in late September that I'm expecting baby #2 and just dropped off the face of the planet after that... we'll blame hormones... Ugh... Anyway... I promise I will do my utmost best to update more … Continue reading Wow… Where Did I Go?

Meet and Greet…
Well... hello, all! So, I just came across something very awesome - GUTGAA (Gearing Up to Get an Agent) hosted by Deana Barnhart. I was pretty nervous to sign up (which I just did yesterday) but thought, "Hm. Well, I do want an agent... And I do want to meet other writers like me... So, … Continue reading Meet and Greet…
So, I’ve done it…
I have officially edited Terra Incognita and made it a Young Adult fantasy. I know, I know... can we say "sell out!"? 😉 Heh, not really... It turned out it didn't change as much as I thought it would... I changed her age from twenty-three to seventeen (almost eighteen) and since it already had the … Continue reading So, I’ve done it…
Meeting (ever so briefly) a Favorite Author…
Hello All! Long time, no write? Sorry about that... I assure you, I am as sporadic as my blog posts... 😉 Ha ha, just kidding... mostly. Late last week, I saw that Charlaine Harris would be discussing and signing her latest Sookie Stackhouse book at Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Lexington, KY on Saturday, May 5th. "Wait. … Continue reading Meeting (ever so briefly) a Favorite Author…
The Cat’s (Last) Meow
As all artists know, our lives influence what we create... whether we create visual, auditory, or literary art, life fuels creativity. Today, my life was altered by the passing of my dear feline friend... Gidget. For those of you who hate the word "pet" because it does not properly encompass all that they are to … Continue reading The Cat’s (Last) Meow
YA or Adult?
I have been struggling with this question for well over a year... Where to categorize my book Terra Incognita... I always felt it fit better into the YA category but, unfortunately, my MC is 23 years old. Hm... conundrum, indeed. Of course, I have (very briefly) considered changing her age... but that would involve a … Continue reading YA or Adult?
