As a writer who has been writing since I was little, I often write a great deal in journals, scrawling lines and lines in pen. I do also journal in private folders and blogs on my computer, just typing away my feelings. I sometimes go back and read them, but often, I just tuck them […]
Tag: Portals Series
Newest Novella Released!
I am pleased to announce that the 14th work in my Portals Series has been released. This, along with Common-Born, are the two novellas that are most near and dear to my heart in the series. If you want to know why, then maybe you should read them! Note: This is the first novella offered […]
Never too old to learn
I have often heard the idiom “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” In fact, an older person I talked to recently actually used that idiom to complain that he was too old to learn some of the new things in this world. I countered, of course, that he wasn’t old. After all, I […]
Summer
“When life gets rough, I like to hold on to my dream of relaxing in the summer sun, just lettin’ off steam….Oh, the sky would be blue, and you guys will be there too.” ~ Olaf (Josh Gad) from “Frozen” At least in the northern hemisphere, today is the first official day of summer. It’s […]

Belonging
Like everyone does, I remember feeling like I didn’t fit in when I was a kid. I often felt like a square peg, as the saying goes. I wanted to be a puzzle piece and find a way to fit in. I was too skinny. I wore glasses. I spoke with a lisp. I had […]
Summer Break
Summer break is upon us, at least here in the area I call my little swath of the Midwest. Kids in traditional schools are done for the summer. So are the teachers, many of them friends of mine from my substitute teaching days. It’s been a tough year for both students and teachers alike. I […]
Life
There are many quotes on life, I have come to realize. After all, John Lennon once penned that “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.” And Forrest Gump’s Mama always said “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.” Bob Marley asked if we […]
