Though it’s been a bit chilly the past few days here in Iowa, there’s a bit of a change in the air. The days are getting longer. It’s no longer after dusk when I come home from my full time job after five in the evening. I am able to marvel most days at the […]
Tag: Portals Series
One year ago…..
In the past three months, I have written 2 novels (yes, I am seriously done with the first draft of the last book in my Portals Series already…. ), heavily edited four novellas for the series, published three of them, wrote several blog posts on this blog, finally finished research for my history blog, and […]
Newest Novella now available!
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? […]

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 […]
Cats
I have a love for cats. I always have. When I was growing up, my family only had two cats as household pets. We had a cat named Tigger when I was a baby, so I don’t remember him much. The other cat we had was a rough and tumble gray burly thing my mother […]

I am thrilled to announce that the next story in the series is available on Kindle. I heard a new voice calling to me. Meet Albion, the halfling, who doesn’t know who or what he is…. There’s dragons, some magic, a fairy tale AND one favorite Portal Seeker and Emissary in the mix. This story, […]
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 […]
