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…

Love=Happily ever after…or happy for now? (Part Two)
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)
In honor of Valentine’s Day. I am asking a few questions most readers want to know. Does happily ever after exist? Or are we all just happy for now? This is question I read a lot in the writer texts. It is the objective for each romance novel to result in one of these outcomes.…

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…

Roses…ruby ale…research!

Premise…inspiration…follow thru… and maybe some pink lemonade vodka to wash it down…🙃
I achieved a major milestone last week. I finished writing the second book in my trilogy. It is amazing to me that a simple idea, an abandoned house has evolved into so much more. Now comes the biggest challenge of all concluding it… I took a hiatus from all things writing. (I have to )…
