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 […]
I’ve been published…. again!!
I follow a number of blogs on Word Press…. many of them written by people who follow me. So it’s a mutual kind of relationship. Back in March, one of the bloggers I follow, illustrator Andrea Benko, posted an idea she had. She wanted to create a book of her illustrations. Since writing wasn’t her […]
A little more good, a little less hatred, a lot more love
Right now, there seems to be a great deal of focus on everything that’s not good in the world. The world seems to be bombarding us with constant bad news. While that focus is warranted, it also can be very overwhelming, especially when one looks around and sees nothing but contretemps, vitriol, frustration, and anger. […]
It is what it is
Years ago, while I was still substitute teaching instead of working the full time job I work now, I subbed as a paraprofessional in a class for behavioral middle school students. The class was tasked with an assignment that day to draw a fish bowl. On the inside of the fish bowl, the students were […]
Summer
“When life gets rough, I like to hold on to my dream of relaxing in the summer sun, just lettin’ off steam….Oh, the sky would be blue, and you guys will be there too.” ~ Olaf (Josh Gad) from “Frozen” At least in the northern hemisphere, today is the first official day of summer. It’s […]
Gifts
Happy Father’s Day readers. And Happy Juneteenth. I could go into some pithy or eloquent blog post about fathers about now…. or write something on the new Federal holiday of Juneteenth. But I am not going to today. It’s not what is on my mind. But I wanted to acknowledge those two holidays since they […]
Edits and Edits and More Edits
Like any good writer should, I do a great deal of editing. Like any good writer, I also hate the editing process. It’s often boring. I’d rather be creating works instead of reading and re-reading and re-reading and re-reading my stuff. But edits are needed. I spend a great deal of time creating new content. […]
Small Rebellions
I belong to a little church in this swath of the Midwest I call my home. Some of the women in this little church, in the height of the “we don’t want refugees” clamoring and the anti-Dreamers frenzy a few years ago, decided they wanted to do something about it to counter the sentiment. They […]
Belonging
Like everyone does, I remember feeling like I didn’t fit in when I was a kid. I often felt like a square peg, as the saying goes. I wanted to be a puzzle piece and find a way to fit in. I was too skinny. I wore glasses. I spoke with a lisp. I had […]
