A few weeks ago, I posted pics of my characters in my young adult trilogy and I really posted the wrong pic of my heroine, Raven. Truth is, I never could find an image that quite fit the one I had of her in my mind and the one I posted never really worked for…

My 1st Teen Reader
So, I have these friends with a fifteen year-old daughter. I’ve known this girl since she first showed up looking for her older sister at my front door twelve years ago. She was this adorable smiling, little thing with big, blonde curls. When I decided to try my hand at writing young adult, I had…

Blizzards, King & Outlines

Solstice Fun and Writing Goals for 2010
Today is the winter solstice, but my family celebrated yesterday. I had a fantastic time with them. We decorated some more, baked tons of cookies and the day was filled with much music and laughter. The stress my family has been under has gone on so long, I hadn’t realized how good it would be for…
Author Websites

I want to do a proper author website, but I’m very interested in creating two separate ones. One will have Norse mythological art, a glossary of terms and possibly, the Poetic Edda…
A Sunday Ramble-Old Manuscripts
I finally got some holiday decorating done. I’m behind this year. Plus, I’ve decided to take a break from the job hunt until the new year. It’s a peace of mind thing more than anything else because this year has held a few too many personal disappointments and I want to enjoy some holiday time with…

Love This Work
It’s a new week full of new possibilities! I’ve been going back and forth on what to write next. My gut wants to write my second books in both series, my head is saying wait until we see if the first books find a home. So the head/gut war has kept me from settling on…
