Being an active participant in the creative process. The initial conception, the development of characters, the planning of plot, creation of world, and tangling of conflicts--it can be heartbreaking in its frustrations, but I always long to come back to the keyboard for more.

Inspiration is LOVELY when it comes to visit. Unfortunately, it can not be relied upon to show up often or regularly. Instead of waiting for the inspiration to write, I work to develop my habit to write--much more dependable!

Read, read, read, and give your own writing space and grace to exist in the world. Try to not be either too hard, or too easy, on yourself.

I haven't actually ever experienced writer's block. I have experienced burn-out, procrastination, sagging confidence, and a whole host of other mental health concerns that can impact my writing. In those moments, I try to listen to the needs of my body and mind and make the necessary adjustments in my life and thinking.

My most recently published book is Affective Needs. This book is different from my others because it is strictly contemporary--my other titles have paranormal or metaphysical elements.
The idea for Affective Needs was born out of my career as a school psychologist and my background in psychology and sociology. I see kids every day who are incredibly bright and capable, but because they struggle with significant environmental and family problems, it is difficult for them to accomplish everything they could given a stable home life where their basic needs are met.
