Hello, June! (it’s almost July?)

Somehow I blinked and we went from early May to mid-June. School has ended. The college kids are home on break. We’re packing bags. There’s a possibility that my kids will see four countries in the next four weeks (and three of them are guaranteed three countries in three weeks)….

All The Small Things – May Flowers

To say life has been busy would be a wild understatement. There’s been travel, non-writing work, and family hijinks that have kept me away from my desk more days than not in 2024. That’s led to a very obvious lack of blogging. Getting back in the habit is a small…

PRICE OF THE MOUNTAIN LILY is coming soon!

Several years ago, on an absolute whim, I started scribbling down a dual-POV story that had a romance, but not a romance between the POV characters. It was an odd duck. I was writing it for fun – and for a scene that I could not get out of my…

New Books! New Sales! New News!

Holy guacamole! It’s already October! This year has flown by! I swear I blinked, and it’s almost time to hang the spiderwebs and pass out candy to all the good little ghouls and goblins who come to my door. Over where I live we’ve just had our first week of…

3 Days To Korea

In the midst of the chaos of moving I thought I should drop by the blog and let you know I’m alive and well. Over the past month I’ve: celebrated my 20th wedding anniversary attended Atomacon with Mary Robinette Kowal visited Gini Koch and Atlanta packed everything I own traveled…

ESCAPE (the sci-fi collection)

Just in time for summer break! Today I’m releasing a collection of short stories. They’ve been around before, but now they are finally all collected in one book, great for putting on the shelf, and the theme is ESCAPE. Why escape? Ursula K. Le Guin said it best: “If we…

Trying To Explain My Move To My Parents…

I’m moving again…surprise! I think everyone who reads this blog already knows this. If you’re new, ta-da! I’m moving again! Every few years my husband’s job changes because of contracts and economies and things like that and we move. We pack up the kids, whatever pets we happen to have,…
