Mornings are one of my favorite times to write. Though my recent #NaNoWriMo2021 stats might say otherwise since I updated more often at night, I tend to enjoy doing a great deal of writing in the morning, especially on my days off. The hubby and I currently live in a smallish apartment and the windows […]

Yep, you read that correctly. My first novel, The Keeper of the Key, is completely free on Kindle this weekend. Offer is only good through Monday. If you have been looking for a chance to check out my books, now is a good time! Offer is ONLY good on the e-book version though! There is […]
Valentine’s Day
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. It’s traditionally a day associated with love, romance, and of course, a ancient saint from Roman times. I have mixed feelings about the day and always have. On one hand, it’s an over-commercialized day filled with a bunch of expectations and hype and let downs. But on the other hand, it’s […]
Sky
I love looking at the sky. I have always been a cloud watcher. I have always watched for raptors soaring and various birds in formation. I have watched planes landing or taking off from the nearby airport. I have watched many a storm go by, illuminating the skies with spectacular light shows. I have watched […]
Spring is coming
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 […]
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 […]
Research
I owe a great deal of credit for my writing skills to my parents, especially my mother. When I was very little, I would make up stories in my head and tell them to her. She encouraged me to write them down. So I did. Often in crayon. These stories were often illegible since my […]
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? […]
Gratitude
I am starting out by saying I am not writing this post looking for fame or pats on the back. I write this because I feel led to write this. A year ago, I made the decision to quit a job I was floundering in. A year ago, I had interviewed and accepted a position […]
