Every time I get on any social media platform, I see people talking about their deteriorating mental health over being trapped inside their home with their spouse and kids 24/7. Complaints range from "The constant fighting is driving me insane" to "There's a reason my spouse and I have jobs...to get a daily break from each other." And while I understand, I'm actually enjoying own self-quarantine. Being "forced" to minimize all interactions with the outside world while being surrounded by my little family is freaking awesome! But I only have 1 child. He's 13 and pretty self-sufficient. My hub and I have been working together 24/7 for years now as small business owners, so I'm pretty used to having him around. When I get annoyed, I just retreat to my computer to write or pick up my book to read. I'd encourage you to lose yourself in a book to escape as well. It does WONDERS for your mental health. That and taking a walk. Fres...

All writers are insecure at various times throughout their writing journey and I'm definitely no different. So I've joined in on the  Insecure Writers Support Group Blog Hop . The 1st Wednesday of each month I'll post about the insecurities I've been struggling with and/or conquered, and answer that month's IWSG question. Happy New  Year! It's the start of a new year AND a new decade. Does this mean the new goals need to be extra special? Because we need that extra pressure, right?! I'm a goal oriented person, meaning, I wonder aimlessly without something to work toward. I know, depending on the goal, that I might not make it in the time frame planned, but I also know I won't accomplish anything at all without the goal in mind. A good example are my 2019 goals: Publish Diomere's Healer ~ check Finish writing Diomere's Mercenary ~ check Lose 20lbs ~ check Finish writing book 1 of my rock star romance series ~ FAIL. *sigh* 3 out of 4...

All writers are insecure at various times throughout their writing journey and I'm definitely no different. So I've joined in on the  Insecure Writers Support Group Blog Hop . The 1st Wednesday of each month I'll post about the insecurities I've been struggling with and/or conquered, and answer that month's IWSG question. I recently submitted the 3rd book in The Gate Keeper Chronicles to my editor. And now the waiting begins. I don't know about all of you, but this is always the point where I second guess myself while I wait for my editor to read the book and tell me what she thinks. It's torture! My editor is amazing and I'm not at all scared of her...sort of...😆😆😆 Thank goodness this month is NaNoWriMo. I'm channeling all my worry toward completing a prequel novella for this same series. After all, I'm going to worry regardless, so I might as well make it productive worrying. What do you do while waiting to hear what someone thin...

All writers are insecure at various times throughout their writing journey and I'm definitely no different. So I've joined in on the  Insecure Writers Support Group Blog Hop . The 1st Wednesday of each month I'll post about the insecurities I've been struggling with and/or conquered, and answer that month's IWSG question. The days are beginning to cool, even if only slightly here in Oklahoma, pumpkin flavored everything is everywhere, and Halloween decorations are up around my neighborhood. While I love the summer and all that fun in the sun, I must admit that Fall is my favorite season. I love wearing pretty scarves & boots, enjoying a hot drink without the A/C cranked up, and admiring the changing colors of the trees while taking long walks. This Fall is beginning with LONG overdue edits for the 3rd book in The Gate Keeper Chronicles. I had hoped to have them finished by Sept 1, but that obviously didn't happen. I'll admit to having days where...

The 1st Wednesday of each month I'll post about the insecurities I've been struggling with and/or conquered, and answer that month's IWSG question. It's September! Happy Birth-Month to me! It seems perfect, then, to talk about unrealistic and unmet expectations, because I'm good at setting them and then being disappointed in myself. You'd think that after "almost" 37 years, I'd understand that I hate the editing process, am prone to procrastination of those things I don't care for, and to give myself twice the time I'd like to complete such tasks. You'd think. *sigh* But apparently, this isn't the case. I'm STILL working on edits for Diomere's Mercenary. Edits I'd hoped to have completed by September 1st. Here this day is and...

I'm so excited to finally be able to announce that my Award-Winning Fantasy Romance novel, Diomere's Exile is available in audiobook! I've been asked at SO many events if it was available in audiobook, only to have to say no. But not anymore, friends! Please enjoy this fun little video I made to commemorate the occasion! And if you're an audiobook fan, please go check it out!

The 1st Wednesday of each month I'll post about the insecurities I've been struggling with and/or conquered, and answer that month's IWSG question. In July, I participated in the Camp NaNoWriMo Challenge and I FINISHED the 3rd book of The Gate Keeper Chronicles!! Woot! However, it wasn't easy. Writing the end of a book is always bitter sweet. It's the point when I worry that I've written an entire book of utter rubbish, that I may not be able to tie things up in a satisfactory way, and that I didn't tie into the overarching series plot enough. So much unnecessary stress! I also feel like I'm a SLOW writer, so the NaNoWriMo events are my way to propel myself over the finish line. Which they do, but now, in the first days after the challenge has been successfully co...

This morning, I'm supposed to be working on the final battle scene in Diomere's Mercenary... BUT... So I'm here instead, epically procrastinating by writing this blog. I mean, it needed to be done anyway, right? *sigh* In fantasy, ordinary battle scenes are difficult because they need to be exciting, while also making sense. The writer needs to have some idea how fighting with whatever weapon is being used works. You don't want your readers to put your book down in disgust because you wrote a battle scene so unbelievable that they're left thinking you're an idiot writer. Or worse, have them be bored! It's an important balance, excitement and logic. So when you take battle scene and add it to climax scene, the point when the shit hits the fan, things become even more tricky. You have to write an exciting and convincing battle scene while also bringing everything you've set up together so that it all leads to some kind of resolution. And since th...

In a couple of days, during the hottest week we've had so far here in Oklahoma, I'm going to haul my family on a camping trip out to the lake where I spent many a summer in my childhood and I CANNOT WAIT! I'm talking tent camping, folks. That's right. Community showers and toilets, food cooked on camp stoves or over the fire, and a thin fabric shelter to keep the wild life at bay for 5 days. And while all of that sounds over-the-top fun, it's the fact that my siblings and their families will be joining us! Squeeeeee! If you've been following me for any length of time, you know that my siblings are one of my favorite parts of this crazy life I live. Each of us only 2 years apart of less, we are a loud, rowdy bunch with kids and spouses who fit right into our crazy. My sister and two brothers, all younger than me, are the reason that siblings play such an important role in my books. They inspired Nadia's excitement when Arri arrived in Diomere's ...
