I’d like to take a moment to announce that the newest novella in my Portals Series has been released. This one is titled Little Sprite and was a fun story to write. I don’t usually do this, but I wanted to explain where one of the ideas of this story came from, since I cannot […]

Learning to Dance Again
The other night, the other half and I, along with a good friend of ours, went to our local zoo for a fundraising event called the Wild Lights Festival. There were illuminated lanterns everywhere depicting many mythological creatures, endangered animals and more. Even though a thunderstorm was rolling in, we decided to go, since it […]
Peopling
I am an introvert. I always have been. Some of my inner circle have voiced their wishes that I’d learn to “outgrow” this trait, but it’s ingrained in me. It’s like expecting me to change my eye color or my height. It’s not going to happen. At times, I am what one could call an […]
Joy
It’s Easter Sunday today, and while it doesn’t feel like Spring in my little swath of the Midwest since the snow is falling, Spring is here. A close friend (otherwise known as the pastor of my church) asked a question today in his sermon. How do you find joy? Travis Stanley, Pastor, Norwalk Christian Church, […]
Wise Words
A wise man, otherwise known as my dearest husband, reminded me of something the other day in response to my thinking of “I am not a good enough writer.” (Because, well, I go through those bouts of self-doubt at least once a month.) He told me that if even one person reads the posts I […]

The dictionary defines the word hope as “a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen.” Alexander Pope coined the phrase “Hope springs eternal in the human breast” way back in 1732. The first part of that is still commonly used to this day. It came to mind while I was reflecting […]

More self doubts and nonsense
“Tryna find the magic. Tryna write a classic. Don’t you know, don’t you know, don’t you know? Waste bin full of paper, clever rhymes, see ya later. These words are my own from my heart flow.” Natasha Bedingfield “These Words” I’m currently working on the edits of the eleventh book in the Portals Series, titled […]
Bots, Reviews, and Scams
Like any wannabe writer (oh hey, that’s in the name of my genealogy blog *wink*), I post a great deal to some social media sites. I have an author page set up on Facebook, of course, and I use Instagram a great deal. I use them in hopes that interest will be drummed up for […]
It’s Okay
There are days I just can’t write. When I say that, I don’t mean I didn’t write anything, since I am always writing. There are days that I don’t work on the story that has been brewing in my head. The one I thought I was writing next. After all, I am still writing my […]
