Read postYesterday I typed “The End”, kinda. I don’t use those exact words at the end of this series, but you get what I’m saying. I finished the first book! Now comes the nail-biting, waiting, wondering while my editors and beta readers take their first crack at finding my errors, areas I need to make the story stronger, etc.
Read postMy true crime meets fantasy horror series is getting closer to it's release day. The researcher in me has been busy following the detriment that is happening in our country, sorting out facts from fiction, truth versus rage bait.
Read postI’ve been fighting this battle for the past 5 years and honestly, I thought I had given up and hung my hat up on my series. Fighting can be exhausting and fighting for five years can drastically change an author’s life.
Read postThe cat is out of the bag. With Gathering of Corvids done, I'm able to move forward with a new series that hopefully won't be banned on social media. I could go back to writing sweet western romance, but the thought of writing about one more naked cowboy caused my muse to cringe.

Read postJust three days ago, we had to put one of our beloved horses down. I realize that when I signed up to rescue senior horses, I would have to make this tough decision. I understand the pain, but also understand that the love I give these noble animals during their last years/months/days on earth is worth the pain that I suffer.
Read postResults were released this morning and the second book in the Small Sacrifices Series, Flight of Sparrows, won the silver medal in the Readers' Favorite International Book Awards!
Read postI'm super excited for my new Patreon account my oldest daughter created for me. I LOVE meeting my fans and readers, and can't seem to book enough signings, so this will allow me to meet with readers, faithful and new, and interact with them personally.
Read postMy book, End of Crows, the first in the Small Sacrifices Series, recently hit #2 on Amazon. To say I was excited is a complete understatement, as I was dancing and crying seeing it finally going out into the big, scary world.
