To keep up with all my writing and book news, plus learn the craft of writing make sure you subscribe there. I blog at Writer…Interrupted every Friday and share my journey. One of these days I’d love…

Embrace the Detour
Sometimes detours are good. Sometimes they’re frustrating. But however you view your particular detour or “interruption” on the path to your dreams, one thing is certain! You will have detours. Might as well learn how to embrace them instead of fight them! The key to surviving and maintaining a good attitude through it all is…
A Dream Come True: My First Book Cover
It’s a little surreal seeing my name on the cover of a REAL book! I’ve been dreaming about my first sale for years, and while it didn’t happen the way I envisioned it (look for a post on that later) it happened! I’m still in that semi-conscious dream state where it doesn’t seem real. Sure,…
50 Ways to Edit Your WIP
When I signed my first contract and agreed to chop 30,000 plus words off my 55,000 word WIP, I knew what I was getting into. Well, sort of. I knew it would be painful to cut that many words. I knew scenes I loved would have to go and be condensed. I knew it would…

I Can't Believe I Didn't Blog about My BIG NEWS!
I think facebook and twitter has ruined my blogging! 140 characters, give or take, and I’m done. If you follow me on twitter and facebook, then you already know! I signed my first fiction contract in January for a novella with Barbour. Yeah, HUGE NEWS and I didn’t blog about it. But I want to…
Dancing Shoes…
I finally did it! I’m about to cross off something on my bucket list and it involves dancing shoes! When I spent 3 1/2 weeks on the road one of the highlights for me was going swing dancing with Susie May Warren. Dancing with strangers was a little out of my comfort zone, but Susie…
And Action…Act II
I finally passed the 14,000 word mark and I’m on to Act I in my current WIP which would have been at 64,000 words if I didn’t scrap it and turn my Historical romance into Women’s fiction. Thanks, Susie! At first I was literally paralyzed to write when my romance wasn’t working. I had HALF…
Firsts: Mountains, Nature and Swing Dancing
Denver has given me a lot of firsts. Driving into Denver was a lesson in self control and driving safety as I couldn’t help gaze upon the mountains in the distance while singing “America…” Thankfully Danica did the driving around town and I was able to soak in the wonder and beauty of the mountains.…
