• What is in a name…🙃

  

  I am a nerd in all things. So researching names is a fun hobby for me. It is fascinating how names have meanings, colors, history. Each name I chose doesn’t just sound cool it has meaning behind it too! That way it’s more memorable. I think names can be very magical. Also stereotypical. However they…

• 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…

• A year older? Perhaps wiser?

  

  Ever notice that with each birthday it becomes a moment of reflection…your last year…what are you going to do this year? For me it is always a moment to set higher expectations for myself, to reflect on what I didn’t do the previous year…I’m incredibly hard on myself… As quick as I am to be…

• Crazy times….for Black Friday sales or something?

  

  It has never made sense to me why people trample each other for socks sales? I am all for good deals…at the expense of someone else’s life or injury…not worth. I can honestly say I haven’t been to Black Friday sales since I was a twenty something…I have since shopped on line for years. I…

• Happy Thanksgiving…be thankful for everything you have…🍁🍂🦃

  

  In a time when chaos is everywhere it is nice to know there is a national holiday that encourages you to eat, drink and spend time with family. My second favorite holiday! Last year we were unable to celebrate due to my family being inflicted with covid. They were times last year I wondered if…

• Survive and thrive…your decisions create your future.

  When I decided to write a novel , I didn’t have a clue about the process. How much time it would take or if I could even finish writing it. Now three books later I am glad I made the decision to write. It is so hard to make myself a priority. Make time to…

• Sarcasm…sun…and stories!

  

  I learned early in life that I could defend myself with words. Particularly when using sarcasm. Work and home have been incredibly stressful lately. I find myself pissing people off at work everyday with vigor and enthusiasm. I probably should stop that. Laughter is the best medicine in stress filled situations at least it is…

• A few things about me…or what I have learned so far…

  Recently…I have discovered a few things about myself…I am a fighter…in my work… in my goals…I write women who fight thru obstacles and succeed… I appreciate the beauty in things…like starry nights and well written books. I value a good red wine…a hot cup of black coffee…and enjoy gaming with my kids…I love classic automobiles……

• My infatuation with the reading started with Little Women…

  I suppose this started when I was eleven years old and read this book for the first time. It was the first time I had read a story where such strong women were presented. It was amazing. To this day it is still my favorite book! I have always been drawn to strong women characters.…
