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.

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 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
