Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

Past Forward

Willow was in a 20+ year quarantine. She not only survived, she thrived and gives us a lot to think about.

How One Simple Comment Inspired This Episode

So, we were supposed to be going over the final story mashups and retellings with Sandy Barela, but then something happened today that changed all that. For the past four weeks, I've been putting my bestselling series, Past Forward, free.  This serial novel comprises six volumes and over half a Continue Reading

This gal breaks my heart & makes me laugh

This Gal Breaks My Heart & Makes Me Laugh

Supposedly there is some TV show about gals in Jersey.  Me?  I’ve got my own reality show playing out in my launch team’s private Facebook group.  Two Jersey gals keeping me laughing, joking, and on my toes. Barb from yesterday is all about the cars (she’s a NASCAR fiend.  Forgot to tell you that), Continue Reading

The Most Beautiful Place I’ve Ever Seen

The Most Beautiful Place I’ve Ever Seen

The memory blurs, but I recall a cedar shake facade… Spanish tile roofing, two stories—a ranch. The great archways that completely surround the outside of a desert "hacienda," the Oklahoma farmhouse—and the great generator that fired up now and then for a rare use of my curling iron. Each one a Continue Reading

A Rebel in the making

A Rebel in the Making: My Father’s Influence

Anyone who knows my father knows that "rebel" sounds incongruous with his strict rules and expectations. When other kids wore blue jeans, t-shirts, and "sneakers," my siblings wore leather soled shoes, slacks (for the boys), buttoned up shirts, or dresses (my sister).  The boys had crew cuts when Continue Reading

Unusual Fairy Tales & Things

Once upon a very long time ago, in a land so very far away, a very unusual princess lived. And so goes the tale of a princess who is a little tired of being a princess.  Paisley's majority ball is coming, and well, she's in the minority as to the excitement of that day.  She'd like to forgo it Continue Reading

I’m So Excited to Present:

Six years ago, I had an idea just before the Valley Home Educator's Convention in Modesto, California.  A friend of mine and I went every year (back before she up and moved on me.  Hmph.)  My idea?  Take some of the odd things I'd seen in my lifetime and explore them in a specific setting.  What Continue Reading

So, Who Panicked?

Anyone catch the "oops!"  in Past Forward yesterday?  Well, I know of one person who did... and I predicted that she would ;) Those three little words... not there.  "To Be Continued." Surely, no one thought it was really finished, right?  Not there!  That wouldn't make sense! Sooo no Continue Reading

Happy Birthday to Me!

So, Wednesday I had this cool idea and decided that I was going to make me a birthday present.  So, I skipped over to my handy, dandy Photoshop and created my idea. Want to see my birthday present?  I got notice last night that it shipped. Isn't it cool?  I can't wait.  I might even Continue Reading

Ahh… Willow the words…

Austria, 1939. Before the "death trains," Hitler's Austria, 1939.

Two desperate mothers send their only childrent to safety on this Kindertransport, but when those children arrive, nothing is as it seems or should be.  A war-time mystery twist on "Hansel and Gretel" set just before the invasion of Poland.
