I haven’t written about one of my novellas in a bit. In fact, it was way back in February that I wrote the blog post about Child of the Sage, when I offered that one for free (HEY-if you downloaded it, read it – I could use some more reviews!). And since I am at […]

Didn’t go as planned
One of my favorite quotes about life is something I’ve posted a few times before. “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” ~John Lennon, “Beautiful Boy” I say that to myself every time things don’t go as planned. For instance, yesterday (or Friday, if you are reading this blog later […]
Favorite Teachers: Professor Alley
It’s teacher appreciation week in most of the United States, and since I think a great deal about the teachers I have had over the years, I decided to try to write about some of them this week. By no means is this a comprehensive list. But I continue my posts with one of the […]
Just a little Saturday ramble
It’s dogeared and worn, the pages a rainbow of highlights. There are margins full of quickly jotted annotations and it’s full of sticky notes and index cards with connections and random notes. The cover is almost more tape than cardstock. But this book has been a part of my life for the past twenty some-odd […]
Locked Doors and Closed Minds
A friend of mine recently shared a saying his great-grandfather used to always say. It sounds similar to the sayings of all great-grandfathers, but it went something like this: “Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see.” ~ Everett Taylor Thomas was one of Jesus’ disciples, according to the accounts […]
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. […]
Hope has two daughters
It was a chilly early spring night at the juxtaposition of a dead end street and what had been a corn field the season before, the remnants of the fall harvest still standing as lone sentinels in the softened earth. The sun was beginning to disappear on the horizon and the stars were coming out, […]
Spring is in the air
Twice this past week, I have been able to get outside for long walks of over three miles. While the first walk was done on a day where it was chilly and I had to wear my heavy coat, the second walk was done in just a long sleeved shirt. Spring is in the air. […]
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 […]
