It’s been a minute. Sorry for ignoring you for so long, it’s taken me a while to get my head and heart working together again after the sadness of 2022 and 2023. (recap for those who missed it, lost my baby brother unexpectedly and then lost my husband after a long illness) I’ve been back …
Read MoreHow is it 2023 already?
2022 was a helluva year. It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. Apparently, whoever is writing my life story gave me a bit of a break over the summer. Then, just when I was building motivation to start publishing again, they threw a tragic plot twist into the works. My …
Read MoreUpdate – I haven’t forgotten you
We’ve all heard that saying, “If you want to make the Deity of your choice, laugh, make plans.” I had a plan and then all hell broke loose. Over the past few months, I’ve taken a hiatus to allow me to spend quality time with my husband as his health declines. I want to be …
Read MoreClimb Every Mountain
We’re getting there! The water leak under the lawn is fixed. The new drywaller I hired is almost done his part. I can paint the new walls this weekend. I’ve purged most of the items in our house that are unworthy to use as staging for the house showing. It’s amazing what people will take …

I knew I missed a blog or two, turns out it’s been 4. Sorry, it’s been a wild ride on my side of the keyboard. I’m sure I’ve mentioned in the past, I stopped working to be a caregiver to my husband. We live on the West Coast, 5600km away from my mother, who still …
Read MoreWriting and Life
It’s been an eventful (not fun) few weeks in my non-writing life which required writing to be put on the back burner to care for myself and my family. In unrelated yet just as devastating news, I seem to have angered the gods of Amazon and all books have been purged from the behemoth. They …

The crash after the rush. NaNo this year was a challenge. For those who don’t know what it is, NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month, a self challenge to write a 50K word novel in the thirty days of November. There is a huge community surrounding this challenge and I’ve made several life long friendships …
Read MoreIt’s like Living In A Novel – Sadly Not A Romance
The past 20 months have felt like we are the characters in a book where the author is telling the tale of the transition from pre to post apocalyptic times, this is one of the crisis points. We’ve had fires We’ve had supercell storms We’ve had floods I think Mother Earth is trying to tell …
