Reader email

Just yesterday, I posted on how difficult it is for me to concentrate lately. Well, this afternoon, I received an email from a reader that made me smile and gave me the encouragement I need to get back to work on Waiting for Willow.

Banned Books Week

I admit that until last year, I didn’t know that there was a National Banned Books week. This year, I’m going to post a link to the ALA where you can find more, but in addition to listing the Top Ten Challenged books and Authors of 2007, I’m going to do my best to read [...]

Whoever Brings the Night ~ Nightwish

Procrastination be thy name

Well, I just blogged over at the Seven Wicked Writers about inspiration and procrastination. I thought I’d carry that theme on over here.
I’m guilty of procrastination. It takes me forever to buckle down and get things done, whether it’s writing, editing, housework or paying the bills. So in my efforts to procrastinate, I spend a [...]

I couldn’t have done it without you:) Make sure you read the dedication when you receive your copy! Speaking of which, the Print book will be available on Amazon in the next [...]
