This is another recipe that I found on TikTok, and I was pleasantly surprised that I had a majority of the ingredients in the house already. I love Salisbury steak dinner, but my only experience with them is the tv dinners, and while they are okay, anytime I tried to make it myself using a […]

Look who’s posted updates two months in a row! During the month of October, I had two stories down to work on; my second Sci-Fi story Cashe, and my high fantasy, but as I spent most of the summer working on the latter, I decided to spend the second half of the month with Cashe. […]

I discovered a wealth of recipes on Tiktok, and I’ve made a few of them. Most look pretty easy, and I saved a bunch of slow cooker ones that I can’t wait to try out! Recipes, like the one below, are a great autumn dish that uses fresh veggies, some of which, I got from […]

As I’m still working on my scifi story, I thought it would be fun to tell you one of the things I like about it. In this futuristic world, there are a lot of new and powerful drugs, and for this story I got the chance to make up names for several, not to mention […]

While I wait for the first harvest of my balcony garden, I thought I’d talk a little about my houseplants. Now I think you know about the apartment jungle hubby and I had when we first got married, and I’ve been trying to recreate that again here. The first plants I bought right away were […]

Oh wow, it’s been a while since I wrote one of these and I do apologise. I’ve been focusing on TikTok videos to promote my books, and my blog has suffered. I’ve stayed away from most social media except for TikTok and Instagram. There’s too much crap on the other sites and it just makes […]

Here it is! I am proud to show you all the cover AND LINKS for my new novel, Eva and Skye’s Magical Hair Solution! It’s 1982, and fourteen-year-old Evandra Shade befriends earth-muffin, Skye Daniels. Their friendship is a salvation from the social pressures of high school, especially when damage to the school is dubiously linked […]
