• 🫧Mermaids,and book three😏

  

  I started this journey with an idea. A love of the little mermaid. Now it has evolved into a trilogy and it’s wonderful, amazing, fun. I have not figured out everything yet.

• Sunshine and stress!

  I am so sorry it has been a while. All I can say is it’s been very difficult for the past few months. It was like my writing well had dried up. My creative voice replaced with stress and not enough sunshine. Depression and rain. As the oldest child in my family I have always […]

  Hello all… back again with the topic of happily ever after…vs happy for now. I have studied many books on this topic. I have over-thunk it so many times… I keep coming back to the same thought. Happy for now is just not good enough. You as a reader have invested all that time and […]

• Love=Happily ever after…or happy for now? (Part One)
