I’d like to announce that the next book in my Portals Series is now available on Kindle! Like all of my novellas currently, this one is only available as an e-book. But if I garner enough interest, I can and will make them paperbacks. An ancient foe, a new beginning. As a druid of the […]

Productivity
I once had a discussion with an acquaintance over how much sleep a person needs. He was convinced that only “lazy” people get the recommended eight hours or more of sleep. His argument…. Imagine how much more one could accomplish in their day if they shaved even an hour of sleep off of their schedule? […]
Gratitude
I am starting out by saying I am not writing this post looking for fame or pats on the back. I write this because I feel led to write this. A year ago, I made the decision to quit a job I was floundering in. A year ago, I had interviewed and accepted a position […]
Advice….
I have heard a great deal of writing advice over the years. The ones that seem to stick out the most in my mind though are the writing advices given to me by my teachers of so long ago. In middle school, I had a teacher who drummed it into my head that words like […]
Music
I have always loved music. I have loved to sing. When I was little, I would sing at the top of my lungs and often made up my own songs. I have sung in multiple choirs, often as a soprano and second soprano. Until the pandemic, I sang in my church choir. But I have […]

Winter
I live in a small city just outside Des Moines in Iowa. Winter has finally struck here. It’s cold. Yesterday there was a high of 16 degrees Fahrenheit with a wind chill of -14. I didn’t leave my dwelling, for it was too cold to do so (and I was recovering from my first work […]
Write Your Own Story
I recently was asked by a good friend why I often use the hash tag #writeyourownstory on my various social media posts. It started out as just a simple phrase that I typed into one of my novels in a moment of inspiration. I didn’t plan it out, I just wrote the words and they […]
Sunrise
In the summer, it is not often that I see the sunrise. When I have to work the full time job, I am usually up around 0530 or 0600. In the summer, the sun has already begun its ascent across the sky by then, so I miss greeting the dawn. But late fall and early […]
