Falconry? Cut excerpt from Beneath the Cloak

Yes, Dove originally had ambitions for learning the fascinating art of falconry, but I argued with her until she agreed to cut it from her life.  However, because all that work shouldn't be "in vain for nuthin'" (name that movie), I'm posting those sections for you here.  :) *** On that same Continue Reading

What is Next?

Aggie is coming soon, but as far as youth fiction, I have several things in the works and planned. Everard-- In the Not-So-Fairy Tales collection, I have started a story about a prince who has just returned from war.  He's shy, confused, and after doing something so out of character that he can't Continue Reading

Peek at the Map: Beneath the Cloak

Just a tiny peek... to whet the whistle and such like... Continue Reading

Peeks at My Notes

I learned something about myself in this book.  You see, I usually am a "fly by the seat of my pants" writer.  The story is in there, and my fingers simply type it into Word and then I polish it into the story it is meant to be.  Well, when a books is supposed to be the last one in a series, it Continue Reading

The Making of a Map

So, throughout the map making process, Craig often sends me updates-- little snippets to keep me abreast of what is happening!  I thought it'd be fun to show you a few of the things that he sent along the way this time. Then he sent... This one amazed me! Then, after that, he Continue Reading

Ok, so… Questions?

I need 'em for the Facebook party.  What do you want to know?  Ask here, and I'll answer there.  Just about ten days to go now... Continue Reading

Everard- Not-so-fairy-tales

Q & A & Stuff

I've had a few questions via email, in person, online, chatting, etc.  So, I thought I'd share them for the rest of the folks too! Q:  What is Everard?  When will it be available? A:  Everard is my second in the Not-So-Fairy Tales Collection.  It is started, planned, and it's unlike any fairy Continue Reading

Annals of Wynnewood Take Two?

In the last post, I gave a hint about something possibly in the works.  Well, I'm not sure I'm done with the characters of Wynnewood.  There was so much I wanted to add to the third book-- or the fourth-- but it would have been like the difference between the third Harry Potter book and the fourth.  Continue Reading

Adventures in Ye Olde Englishe

Note: That's totally inaccurate there and I don't really care. It made me smile. So, when writing Wynnewood, I'm always enjoying a little fun in the Old English to Modern English dictionary I found online. Some are interesting.  For example: ability: cræft  (Doesn't that look an awful lot like Continue Reading

I Have Arrived~

I have come full circle.  I know that my books have been on Paperback Swap, but this is the real deal.  My friend Teresa (Book signing gal) found Ready or Not at a garage sale... AND BOUGHT IT for her daughter-in-law.  Crystal claims to have liked it. Continue Reading

Wife, Mom, and competitive shopper (or so she wishes--erm, wished).

Then her whole FAMILY loses it (their stuff, that is!).

November 4, 2025: Bookish Gratitude is a great cu November 4, 2025: 
Bookish Gratitude is a great cup of tea, a snack, and a new book!
I'm drinking Lyon's Gild, recommended by @jenniferdeibel_author , but its in my empty Harney & Sons "Victorian London Fog" tin. That's my second favorite tea. My FAVORITE  is "Christmas in Sisters" from @suttle_tea . Just got my order in... been hounding the website since July. Now that mine is reserved,  I  will sing its praises to the rooftop.  With cream and sugar,  it tastes like a really good chai without the soupyness some ciffee shop chais have.
Eating Pepperidge Farms Linzer raspberry cookies (recommend 2 not 3... three was almost too much).
Reading A Light at the End of the Woods by @carriebrownellwrites ( not Donwell... duh) and @bookmonkeypress 
So far I love it!!!!
