Not A Pargon of Patience I can't honestly say I'm a patient person. Just ask my old boss. She gave me my lowest scores on my evaluations on my patience. Or lack thereof. I turned in books for editing and I check my email daily to see if she's sent back my book yet. I … Continue reading Waiting for Edits
I have always loved to write. I've always had an enormous imagination. I love science fiction. Probably because my dad raised me to be a Trekkie. When I was in labor with my oldest son, they were showing advertisements for the new Star Trek The Next Generation television series. I walked the halls of the … Continue reading I Love to Write
This whole 'promo' thing is so new to me. I'm not sure where I should spend my money and where I should just say "pass." Right now, I'm like a kid in a candy store! Anything shiny or pretty I just want for my own. I'm probably spending way too much on things that aren't … Continue reading Shut up and take my money

I know each parent thinks their children are perfect. So too, do authors think their books are entertaining. But this new book … Continue reading New Release

I don't know how many times I've groaned when I've seen friends I haven't spoken to in years, perhaps decades all of a sudden friend request me. It's not that I don't want to connect with someone I knew from the past, but I know it's usually because they're trying to sell me something. Most … Continue reading Promoting My Book
