Blessed are….

In my fantastical adventurous Portals Series, there is an enemy to magic. It is not dark magic, for even sorcery has a place in my fictionalized world of portals and realms even as some look down their nose at it. It is rather an ideal, an entity called evil. Evil is twisted, created from the […]

A story ended

I had started to write a post about my crazy weekend, but the words have fallen flat in light of something that weighs heavily on my heart. You see, another in my circle has been taken away. This was a friend and cheerleader, a wonderful old soul that may have been short in stature, but […]

It’s the end of another year

It’s the time of year where everyone shares their accomplishments for the year. And while this post will be no different in that regards, there is also a bit of reflection as well. I had several author and writing related goals I had jotted upon a piece of paper at the beginning of this year: And […]

I love to tell the story

“I love to tell the story, ’twill be my theme in glory / to tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love.” ~ Katherine Hankey “I Love to Tell the Story” (1866) Last night, on Christmas Eve, I sat as I usually do in the tiny church in my little swath of the […]

I didn’t know you wrote…..

So if you’ve been paying attention to some of my other social medias, you’d know I have published another book in my Portals Series. This one tells the story of the heirs of the Dynast, the Cleric, and the Portal Seeker, continuing the tales of Delphian, the Realm of Original Magic, and even Earth itself. […]

For those of you who DON’T know what NaNoWriMo is, there is a wonderful and informative podcast on the subject if you click here. Full disclaimer though – the […]

Persist

Anyone who knows me knows that I wear several bracelets. It’s something I started doing a few years ago, mainly because I wanted to express myself, but also because some have words I wanted to focus on. I’ve mentioned them in a few blogs posts here as well. One of the words I have on […]

The End

Some in the writing world are already aware of this about me, but not everyone is. Often, I write the ending of my books before I write much of the beginning. Sometimes, I do write other parts first. But more often than not, I have the ending finished before I have most of the book […]

Free Ebook This Weekend

As many of you know, or maybe you don’t know…. I write fantasy books as well as this blog. I have the Portals Series, which follows the seekers of magic, otherwise known as the portal seekers, from the Realm of Original Magic as they travel the realms in search of magic. The first portal seeker […]

Reflections and gratitude

Despite starting this blog as an outlet to talk about writing in general, I realized that I haven’t done a blog post in a bit where I just talked about where I am in my writing. So here goes. **Note here – I’ve linked to other blog posts if people are interested in anything I’ve […]
