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 […]

Inspirations
My fiction is my own, but I can’t say that I am not inspired by a number of things I am inspired by the nature around me, As I watch a sunset or a sunrise, I try to think how it can be depicted in words that would convey the same picture that I see. […]

Halloween Town: Witch 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 […]
Dedications
Every word I write is thought about. I try to make my words have meaning, since I try to create art with them. Even my dedications are thought out. My Portals Series books are all dedicated to people who mean a great deal to me. My first book in the saga, The Keeper of the […]

Find Your Own Happy
I have always preferred to walk instead of drive somewhere, especially if its under a mile. Often, when I have a day off from the full time job, I find myself doing a great deal of walking around the city I live in. It’s my time to think and compose stuff in my head so […]
Urgings
Sometimes I want to write but don’t know what I want to write and I feel like I write drivel. Sometimes it is pure drivel and I ball it up and throw it away or spend time deleting what I have typed so that it is cut away, never to return. But sometimes that drivel […]
Never Stop Working On Yourself
I live in a small suburb of Des Moines. Today, I needed to drive in to the city to run some errands and had to drive on Fleur Drive. Those of us who live in the Des Moines metro area know all about Fleur Drive, but others who don’t live here might as well. If […]
