I’ve done it. After a good solid run of organizing, typing, editing, storylining and writing I’ve finally hit the wall as far as most things writing-related go. I’m exhausted mentally. I’ve been trying all week to get the third chapter of Fie Eoin to my writing group, and while I read and cross things out and […]
Happy Summer Solstice! I know that today’s sticky is about Spring, but since it’s already been over a hundred degrees here for the past two weeks I must say I’m really missing spring. The new, bright colors, the rain, the ability to go outside at seven in the morning and take the dogs for
I’m having a problem lately getting Pike, my antagonist in Fie Eoin, to be more creepy and less like a little boy trying to flirt but not knowing how. Granted, the in the beginning of the book he has just gone through the ceremony to become a man, so he probably should act a bit
The fine line between child and creep. Read More »
Have you ever been scared and breathless, friends? I was this week – I sent the first few chapters of Fie Eoin to my critiquing group to read and give back. And then I really went all out and posted the excerpt online for a critiquing group full of strangers. Talk about scared! But you know
I know I was only supposed to be gone for a week, and I did plan on putting up a sticky and another chapter of Lane’s Girl this past weekend, but you know what they say about plans. And my plans especially. You see, I was going camping last week with my husband and Hops

“Thanks for walking me to my room Lane, I appreciate it.” Kelly, who was slightly shorter than Rebecca, looked up with a genuine smile. It was the Midsummer Night before Mika’s birth, and Kelly was dancing for the first time at the Midsummer Festival, taking over for Rebecca who claimed she was feeling too old

I know that you guys are waiting with bated breath for the next installment of Lane’s Girl (you are, aren’t you?), but today instead of posting a story about adultery and death and trying to raise a child on your own I thought I would tell you another story. A love story. And tomorrow we’ll
I have a feeling that I’m not the only writer who gets sidetracked by shiny things. A new story to work on, a world to build, a book to read. Lately, I’ve become distracted by playing this shiny game that you might have heard of, called World of Warcraft. It’s kind of fun to come
