Genre: Stay in Your Lane or Step Out?
You’ve been writing in one genre…maybe for several books. Maybe for your entire career. But lately, you’re antsy. Unable to decide on your next project. You have ideas, but nothing that grabs you hard enough to put in the effort that creating takes.
Then, out of the ether, comes another idea. One that grabs you by the lapels and shakes you. But it’s a new genre, so you ignore it.

This has everything a reader looks for. I loved every one of the characters (well, not the bad guys, but...) even the spunky dog! The plot had twists and turns and I was pulled in from page 1. I really worried what would happen to her camp counselors.. ...more |

Oh my gosh, what a great story Travel back to a time when our country sweltered in dust and poverty. Ride the rails with two women hobos, live their life for a while. The ending, though not what I longed for, was real and honest. Loved this book. |

“The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.”

“Some ‘blended’ families come together like coffee and cream, swirling in beautiful patterns until they become one, forming a new color. Our family came together like two chunks of summer-hardened concrete. Roger is the rubber expansion strip between, keeping the edges from grinding together.”

“. It’s as if, after swimming upstream in the chilly waters of my childhood, I’ve reached a warm sea, where I can simply float. I haven’t been willing to stir the familial sediment at the bottom. After all, that’s where all the shit is.”
