• Why?February 21, 2022
  Why are you doing this? My husband asked me when Reverie was ready to be published. They say there are no stupid questions. On the flip side, I maintain that there are very, very good ones. This was one of the best. Writing is Art. It’s a passion. It’s fun. It’s fulfilling. Publishing, on the
• The CollectiveFebruary 4, 2022
  I’m a big believer in community over competition. Particularly in the writing community. It’s a unique environment that actually supports this philosophy. You would have to go out of your way to be toxic to find conflict. And yes, I’ve met some pretty toxic authors. It absolutely boggles me. You may as well shoot yourself
• EquilibriumFebruary 1, 2022
  And just like that, it’s February. One of the few things I got done last month was visualize my goals for the year and actually make a plan for them. It sounds simple but I found it more challenging than I want to admit.  I want to dream big but I also don’t want to
• 2022January 24, 2022
  I know we’re closer to the end of January than we are to the first of the year. My desire to meet 2022 head on with the steady momentum of regular blog posts and writing goals has hit a flat before the starting line. I’d very much like to blame it all on the things

• 365June 1, 2021
  One year ago today, we scheduled Reverie for release. Technically, Reverie didn’t see the public until July but our official publication date was listed as June 1st, 2020. I finished the first draft of Reverie in 2009. My soon-to-be-although-I-didn’t-know-it-at-the-time husband casually mentioned that it would make for a good short story. It ended up being

  Was that … was that a girl? It legit was a girl. Out here in the wops wearing a tank top, jeans, and Chucks of all things. That’s mental. How did she even get this far in effing Chucks? Who does that?  So much for being alone. Figures. I ran my tongue over the cut

  Another beam of light danced through my open window, running from my unkempt desk all the way to the Benjamin Moore sample squares I had tacked on the wall with painter’s tape.   It took less than two seconds for the beam to complete its visit and in that same amount of time I’ve thought of
