Writer’s Block
I believe I have firmly established myself as a writer. After all, I have been successfully blogging on this blog for almost a full year now. I have been a published author since 2007 and have written an entire series based around the Realm of Original Magic and the Portals. I have been writing since […]
Road Trips: Part Deux
My last blog post dealt with some of my musings from the road trip my husband and I just completed. This post deals with the other half of those musings. Unlike other trips to the Windy City where we stayed with some of the members of the other half’s family, since we had the funds […]
“You used to…..”
Every so often, I deal with friends and family I don’t see on an often enough basis. I have gone years without actually seeing some family members face to face, though we talk on the phone often and text almost every day. I spend more time emailing others instead of chatting on the phone since […]

Looking back
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 […]
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 […]
Forgive, just as you have been forgiven
Lately, certain events in my world have led me to think a great deal about forgiveness. And since I have been challenged to be bolder and speak with more conviction, I have found that I need to write about this topic too. It’s been on my mind a great deal. Forgiveness is a conscious, deliberate […]
