It’s already almost halfway through November and what a wild ride this has been already! I wanted to give my wonderful readers an update on my National Novel Writing Month 2021 challenge. I have been faithfully writing every single day this month thus far (sometimes more than once a day too!) and have hit over […]

Halloween Town: Cemetery Hill
I love decorating for the holidays. I always have. Every year, I put up several villages atop one of our bookcases. One of those villages is a âHalloween Townâ that I started several years ago and add to every single year. This year, while putting out the village, I thought âWhy not tell the stories […]

NaNoWriMo
I guess now would be a good time to announce that I have taken steps to join the National Novel Writing Month that takes place every November. I have always thought of doing this, but never really took any steps to even do more than try to participate. I am also stepping out of my […]

One of those villages is a âHalloween Townâ that I started several years ago and add to every single year. This year, while putting out the village, I thought âWhy not tell the stories […]
Dedications
Every word I write is thought about. I try to make my words have meaning, since I try to create art with them. Even my dedications are thought out. My Portals Series books are all dedicated to people who mean a great deal to me. My first book in the saga, The Keeper of the […]
