I went there in 1984 as well, and I remember you. It's a great school, isn't it?

I am so sorry about that (and confused!). I'll email you right away so we can figure it out.
In the meantime, please accept my most sincere apology for the mix-up!

For the most part, people have been incredibly supportive and encouraging. I've gotten feedback from distant relatives, old school friends, and even former clients!

My dream as a writer is to have an impact on people. Whether I make them laugh or make them cry, or simply give them a few hours of enjoyment, I just want my words to touch them in some small way.

"Her House Divided" was inspired by my own freak accident in 2011. I wanted to explore the idea of healing on the inside and outside -- she heals from her injuries as well as from a broken heart, and she falls in love with a man who has to do some healing of his own.
It was also inspired, in part, by my family's beach house in South Haven, Michigan.

I get inspired by asking "what if?" when watching the news or hearing about local events.

The best thing about being a writer is that I get to do the thing I have wanted to do since I was four years old! I am living my dream. How many people can say that?

I am working on "His Heart Aflame," which is book #2 in my Beach Haven series.
It's the story of firefighter Sean Jackson and a mystery woman named Maeve Renault. The book has a little bit of mystery, a touch of suspense, and a lot of steam.

I have a few ways of dealing with Writer's Block. I like to go to Lake Michigan because I seem to think better when I am near the Lake. I work on some hand-quilting so my mind can wander while my hands are busy. Or I write a short story that has absolutely nothing to do with the on that is giving me trouble.

The best thing I can tell aspiring writers to do is WRITE. Write a little bit every day. Even if it's awful and never sees the light of day, just keep writing.
Accept that everything you write will not be good; understand that you will write a lot of really bad things while trying to create the good things. Practice, practice, practice.
