Occasionally, we hit a place where we’re forced to take a break. As you can tell by this blog, I’ve sort of been in that place. Popping my head in to say I’m still alive isn’t the best way to keep a website fresh and interesting. My problem is I haven’t felt fresh or interesting….

Unnatural Selection Snippet
I’m working on an R&R for Foretold, the first in my Norse YA trilogy. And because I feel like I’m seriously neglecting readers here, I’m going to share another snippet of the dystopian YA I plan to rewrite as soon as this is done and off. I REALLY love Rae and the others in this…
Still Chuggin’ Along
As you have probably guessed, I no longer use this as a daily blog. I’m not getting rid of my website, but don’t see a reason to bore anyone with the humdrum stuff happening while I work on rewrites and other projects. I had finished my dystopian YA, but I’m not happy with it and…
Revision Cave Has Critters & My Kindle Love
My kids are the critters. <g> They get bored and come in to chat, so the writing gets interrupted. But that’s okay. I’m still getting a lot done and I love them like crazy. I broke my cave rule though to share that I LOVE MY KINDLE. Yeah, I recently got one and oh man,…
Going Into Deep Revision Mode
I was going to post the entire first half of chapter one of Unnatural Selection, but honestly, I worry about sharing that much of the book on a public website. What happened to this book you ask? I kept seeing editors talk about getting too many dystopian YA submissions, so I set it to the side to…
They’re Alive!
I know it kinda feels like I keep dropping off the face of the earth. Nah. I’m just really busy. I’m working on a few writing projects and have found it’s better if I don’t share too much of what goes on behind the scenes. Being a writer on submission kind of sucks sometimes. Things…
Dweller Snippet
I haven’t shared a snippet in some time. This is the opening bit to the book that captured my agent’s interest. We don’t have it on submission right now, but I will share that it did gather some interest. We aren’t marketing it right now for several reasons, but there are plans for it. While…
Update
I’ve been writing as much as possible this week. Believe it or not, the kitty care has taken up some time. My husband is now convinced Saber will expect me to hand feed him every single time he eats now. Nah. Once Saber is back to 100% (and I refuse to believe otherwise even though…
Monday Ramble
I’m flirting with the idea of doing something different with my next young adult novel. I stopped to work on other projects and worry I’ve missed the period of interest in dystopian novels. But I still love my story… so who knows, I might take this one out myself when it’s complete. It should have…
Morning Walks, Redbuds and Difficult Characters
This morning was gorgeous. I ran errands early, then came home, slipped on my earphones and went for a walk. Not the leisurely kind, no, but the heart pumping, feet moving, half-sprint kind. I enjoyed crisp air, cooling breezes and the bright, warm sun which was sharing enough Vitamin D to have me grinning like…
