What books have influenced my life? This is a difficult question for me. Partly because I read so much, it'll be hard to narrow the list. Partly because I don't know that I've had any profound moment of change. I've lost myself in books, escaping into the worlds and falling in love with the characters... Continue Reading →
So... I have to admit that my enjoyment (perhaps it could be termed an addiction) to writing contests started at a young age. When I was 9 years old, I won a writing contest in my school district for an essay about Abraham Lincoln. What? Someone thinks I'm a good writer? Well, then, I must... Continue Reading →
It's Valentine's Day today. Ironically, despite being a romance writer, I can't stand this holiday. I heartily dislike the idea that my loved ones must be forced to tell me they love me once a year (and vice versa). Please explain why this isn't happening naturally throughout the year? It's a retail driven holiday that... Continue Reading →

It's coming up on the end of the old year and beginning of the new, and you know what that means... Goals. Look at how you did on the old ones and set some new ones. I do this every year for personal and professional goals. Let's take a look at those author ones. 2018... Continue Reading →
I have a confession to make... While I LOVE great food, and I can cook or bake just fine if I have to, I actually don't like to cook or bake. I don't enjoy being tied to the kitchen, probably because cooking is often one of those activities that I can't multi-task. Just not my... Continue Reading →
Thanks to Yoda I have my marching orders. Do, or do not. There is no try. This week in the #MFRWAuthor Blog Challenge, we've been prompted to write about our biggest fears. I could certainly go on and on about the usual ones many of us share--heights (Yes, I was a skydiver. I'm kookey that... Continue Reading →
