I know it’s been a while… like what, two years? Three years? I’ve lost count. It’s all a blur of changes, some good, some bad, both losses and gains.  No different than anyone else in the world, so we’ll skip the minutia. Anyway, I just wanted to check and give you a hint of things […]

Thank the gods, I can type this instead of saying it, because my voice is still hashed. Now on to NIBB 2019. Where to start… I suppose I could start with why my voice is gone. It started with the drive up there and my singing along with my 80s playlist. Fun fact, as I […]

I’m like, totally excited about attending the North Iowa Book Bash, a.k.a. NIBB2019. There’s a totally bitchin’ theme this year! Any guesses? I’ll give you a hint, “It all started with The Unveiling in the…” Bet the Meadowlarks know and are shouting it to the rooftops. In honor of this awesomeness, I’ve put together an […]

    So I’m writing this the day after, the day after, the Sioux Falls Fall Into Books event… Am I recovered from so much awesomeness? Not really, but I had to jot a few highlights for you, before they become foggy and I question if ‘that’ really happened. The Breadwinner and I drove up […]

Hey all, I’m really excited about an upcoming event, Fall Into Books in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Yep, you heard right, they’re gonna let me cross state lines. I promised to be on my best behavior, winkety, wink, wink, wink. Seriously though, this is going to be a blast, the lineup is incredible. Just take […]

Reading has been a challenge lately and not in a good way. I’m not sure if it’s the books I’m picking up or my mind set, but I find myself setting most books aside unfinished. Usually, I give a book three chapters to grab me, but I can’t seem to even push myself that far […]

Music moves me, physically, mentally, and emotionally. I need it, I crave it, I gotta have it, especially when writing. Yes, every now and then I like a little silence—editing or beta reading require absolute concentration on the words—but music is a must when I’m setting a mood. This brings me to today’s task, making […]

Things have been crazy. Crazy busy! There’s been a ton going on, including things I can’t talk about at present. Not that I don’t want to, it’s just not the right time. Once things are finalized, I’ll be chatting away about them. Something I can talk about is my health. I’ve spoken about my psoriasis […]

The last two weeks have been hellish, for lack of a better term. On July 3rd we received a call I never thought I’d get, my baby brother was gone. The only words I have to describe any of this are disbelief, anger, and heartbreaking. Yes, I felt my heart cracking, a tiny fissure that […]
