    Week 1 of Weekly Postings

    Hello to all my readers! This starts my weekly journey into writing a blog post every week. This past week, my husband and I went to Louisville, KY. There he attended conferences, and I had time to write. The backdrop of my writing consisted of a nice cup of coffee, a little quiet, and some…

  • Hiatus

    Hello all! It’s been a while since I posted a blog on the website. The day job took some precedence, and I took a hiatus from writing. It’s been difficult. The writing struggle is real. I have so many stories, so many works-in-progress that I haven’t been able to put my butt in a chair…

  • I never thought I would see the day the tragedy of 9/11 would be a bullet point for history text books. I remember that September day very well. September 11, 2001: Around the time that the first plane struck the first tower, I was in my 3rd-grade classroom. Ms. Kennedy assigned us our spelling test,…

  • National Novel Writing Month Approaches

    Eight years ago, I took it upon myself to “compete” in the National Novel Writing Month challenge, which starts November 1st at midnight. In November, I wrote my first novel, The Runner. I spent 28 days out of 30 dedicated to completing the bulk of my novel. I completed my novel late November 30, 2015,…

  • As summer comes to a close

    I think this past summer seems to have flown by in a good way. This year has passed by. It seems like yesterday we had moved into the house. I started Summer Heat a year ago, and I finally finished it in April. June swept in, the novel published, and now I’m sitting at nearly…

  • A New Dawn, a new day

    As June fades and Pride month closes, I take this time to thank all of my readers and patrons. We’re nearly at 70 copies sold; believe me, I didn’t buy them all. I’ve also gotten some reviews as well. It is nice to see organic rating at its finest. My mystery novel is coming along…

  • 50 Copies in Circulation!

    I am pleased to see that Summer Heat has reached a milestone of 50 copies sold! Both the Kindle version and paperback are doing well. In the meantime, I’m still writing on new stories. I’m still hoping that my mystery/thriller will come out by the end of this year, if not by the first of…

  • Two weeks of being published

    Summer Heat has been published for two weeks. I have gotten so much love and support during this time from friends, coworkers, and family member. And sometimes I think that maybe it’s not going to be a great novel, but I have others that tell me differently. I am currently working on my new novel.…

  • A loaded question…

    TANGENTS! If you ever need anyone to stall long enough so you can make a quick exit, give me a call! What is strange though is that I fill my life with people that often go off on tangents. So we could talk about one thing and end up discussing another, and so on and…

  • Broken Football Dreams

    Have I ever broken a bone? I mean, I never broke it on purpose. In fact, I remember that it was the Thanksgiving break of 2005. On my mother’s side, we have some family that drive in from Alabama and Missouri. It’s really the only time of year that we get to see them, so…
