Decades ago, I lived in the south for about fifteen months while attending college. I rented this cute little two-story house that opened at ground level on both levels because it was built into a hill. It was small, but cozy, and sufficient for my needs. My two daughters took the bedrooms upstairs and I … Continue reading Slugs make progress, too…

It's been awhile since I posted a new blog post. Not because I haven't wanted to, but because there's this major distraction going on in my life that eats up all my time and energy and leaves me sleep deprived, too. I've had to get vicious about carving out a little writing time for myself, … Continue reading Progress Report…

Da Plane!
Wow, what a crazy month it has been! Drop of Water is now safely in the hands of my editor (as of two weeks ago) and should be ready for release in August or September. I can't wait to share it with all of you! It was a long haul to get here thanks to … Continue reading Making Progress…
Hello everyone! As I'm sure you've noticed, I'm making some changes to this page and like all things techy, progress comes slow for this old horse trainer. (Seriously, it's easier to train a horse to do a pirouette than it is to figure out how to make changes to a website! LOL!) Anyway, I'll be … Continue reading Growing Pains…
