I won NaNoWriMo 2022 in the pre-dawn hours of November 30. I got up early to write because I knew I had time commitments after work and I really wanted to win. I have nothing like a novel, but I finished with 51,670 words I didn’t have before, plus two…

I’m so pleased to be participating in Giftmas 2019! This is an annual group fundraising effort coordinated by author/editor Rhonda Parrish. It’s a cause that’s close to my heart. No one should be hungry, especially at Christmas. I’ve participated since 2016, and you can read other blog posts using my…
I have a solstice gift of free books for you! After all, who doesn’t love free books? Happy Solstice! I’m so glad summer is here! Maybe that means it will finally quit raining here in Indiana. I’m just about to give up on the idea of having a garden this year. We’ve…
I’m excited–today is Release Day for F is for Fairy! “Anyone who believes that faeries are wee, golden-haired creatures with dragon-fly wings and sweet intentions has never met a real faerie.” –Suzanne Willis, “A Silver Thread Between Worlds” You may remember my last blog post (I know, shame on me) was…
