Fall is such a beautiful time in Iowa. The way that the entire landscape seems to shift from the vibrant hues of greens from the summer to the muted shades of autumn just amazes me. One week, leaves and grasses are bright green, alive and vigorous. The next week they seem more subdued in various […]

I am happy to announce that my newest novella, Ruffian, is now available on Kindle! This is the story of Garrion, one of the minor characters in the book Portal Seeker. I will warn you that if you chose to read this as a stand alone, there are a few spoilers in it (and some […]
Halloween Town: Cemetery Hill
I love decorating for the holidays. I always have. Every year, I put up several villages atop one of our bookcases. One of those villages is a “Halloween Town” that I started several years ago and add to every single year. This year, while putting out the village, I thought “Why not tell the stories […]

Storms in the morning
This morning I was awakened from a deep sleep by a thunderstorm sometime around 430 or 445. I say “sometime” because I am not entirely sure when I was awakened. I did check my fitness watch but the time doesn’t stick in my mind. It’s a detail I can’t recall. But there were so many […]
