Stuff I’ve written about writing and reading in particular.

Recharge

Yesterday, I was so over being around people. I was exhausted beyond measure because I have been pushing myself to do more and more and haven’t had time to decompress. The introvert within me needed some moments without pressure. Despite my exhaustion, I knew I had to find solitude. I needed to recharge my soul. […]

Luna is now available

Those of you who have been paying attention to my other social media sites already know this, but for those who don’t follow me on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, I published the 16th novel this past week in my Portals Series: Luna is available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, an in paperback format. Click on the […]

Doldrums

​The other day, my little swath of the Midwest had a winter storm that dumped several inches of snow on the ground. It made a mess of things, as storms often do, but the next day was beautiful. I ended up taking a short walk enjoying the snow for what it was worth. But I […]

Child of the Sage

I figured that since I am currently offering the novella for free, I should probably share the story of how Child of the Sage came to be. After I finished writing Portal Seeker in the early summer of 2021, I thought I was done with my series. After all, I had three loose stories that […]

Two years ago

The first of February marks a milestone for me, one that I celebrated with a post last year that you can read if you would like. The day marks my two year anniversary at my present job. Many of you will note that I don’t share on public social media what my job is. I’ve […]

Just Keep Going

I had a case of the Mondays this past week. I was running a bit behind getting to work. I left in a hurry, forgetting my freshly made and not-yet-been-sipped travel mug sitting on the kitchen counter as I dashed out the door. About twenty minutes in on the job, I realized I was wearing […]

Last of His Kind

I get people who ask me where I come up with the ideas for my novels and stories in my Portals Series. Since I already wrote a blog post on The Keeper of the Key when I last offered it for free, I figured this time around, I would write about the next book in […]

Snail mail

Last week, I posted about how I do something I do think is not that extraordinary, but others seem to think it is. I mail cards out to people. And when I say I mail cards out, I mean I mail A LOT of cards out. But you can read it by clicking here –> […]
