Today I would like to introduce you to Henrietta and Virginia, the two main characters in my current novel. I thought it would be fun to do a little interview and see what these two are up to. “Excuse me, did you just call me Henrietta? Only my Mom calls me that,” Etta says…
I’ve been quiet. I’ve retreated into old favorite TV shows, cuddles with my kid and Skype dates with my Mom. I’ve hidden away because I wasn’t sure what to say. How should I deal with the new normal? How should I react to the fact that our Disney vacation (the one I’ve been planning for…
A long, long time ago (almost two years now) I decided to do a fun writing exercise here on the blog and created a character based on tarot cards. The thing is, I liked the idea and the character so much I decided to turn it into a full-blown novel.
Grab a beverage, sit back and get comfy because I have a story to share. It all started about ten years ago when I decided to try writing a novel in one month during National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) which gave me the writing bug something fierce, so I decided to take a writing class…
We are half-way through OrangeTheory’s Transformation Challenge and I have learned a few things about myself and just in general that I would like to share. 💪 I love the community aspect of OTF and the challenge BUT I’m not much of a joiner when it comes to the themed weeks. Sorry, but I only…

Anyone else thinking this January has literally gone on forever?!?! I mean, there have been 5 Wednesdays!! AND doesn’t it seem like everyone is all go-go-go this month? Making new goals, starting big projects, and doing All. The. Things? Aren’t you already tired? I know I am. I think that’s because we are still in…
Awhile back I came out of the broom closet about my new found witch title. I’ve had a few friends and family look at me with wide eyes and wonderment, but the thing is – I am still me, just with a slightly different spiritual journey. One where I am connected to nature, Mother Earth,…
I’m getting ready to start the 3rd round of revisions on this current WIP and with that comes some new characters (and revisiting old characters) and getting to do something I absolutely love – using my acting skills! If you didn’t know, I have a BFA in Theatre Performance, and although I no longer do…
