It is all in a day…a writing day.
If you grew up similar to me, then you grew up on cinnamon sugar toast on Saturday mornings after watching cartoons while your parents slept. Man, I still love it today even in my 40s. This morning, I woke up and decided to make doughnuts! However, I was out of regular all purpose flour AND... Continue Reading →
I LOVE kale salad. I know, I know, it isn’t for everyone, but once I realized how to make it, I fell in love with it. The trick for me… is to wash and pat dry the kale, then (in a big bowl) drizzle olive oil on it (maybe a tablespoon’s worth or more depending... Continue Reading →
Last week I went on vacation and my writing slump felt like it was coming to an end. Then I realized that maybe I hadn't been paying enough attention to myself. Maybe I was neglecting what my body and mind needs. Suddenly, the school year was over and I was on a beach without a... Continue Reading →

THE BOOK LAUNCH PARTY IS ON!!!! I tend to write in different genres. I love writing all things horror, short stories with surprise endings, but I also LOVE writing young adult and children's books. I wish I could write lovely romantic stories, but it just doesn't call my name. My latest book, The Girl Who Saw Words,... Continue Reading →

This weekend, my children's book is free on Amazon. The Girl Who Saw Words is unique in that it describes what life is like with Synesthesia. So...what the hell is Synesthesia? Some believe that Synesthesia is basically just "crossed-wiring" in the brain. It is basically when two or more senses are intertwined. There are many... Continue Reading →
Last summer, I started my first flash fiction challenge. I only made it through the first two challenges out of four. That is alright though. The fun of making myself write in areas that I am not the most familiar is good for me. It challenged me and that is the point of the challenge...at... Continue Reading →
I prefer to hold a book in my hands. A real book. Maybe that is because I am 40 years old and grew up without the choice of a "real" book or an electronic version. I grew up in a rural county without a computer in the house and where we could not have cable... Continue Reading →
You know you have found an author to hold on to when you read a trilogy she has written and feel heartbroken when it is over...simply because it is over. This has happened to me after each book of The Chemical Garden Trilogy which consists of Wither, Fever, and Sever. Those books left me feeling as if... Continue Reading →
