I frequently have issues with Amazon flagging my indie books because I have the same pen name as another author, but this latest time takes the cake. The last ten months has been a near constant battle with Amazon, and I have honestly never wanted to stop publishing more because of it. But I do … Continue reading My latest battle with the ‘Zon #kdp #amazon #amazonkdp #ridiculous

It’s summer! — well, almost
You know what one fun thing is about having a kid in school and in kindergarten? He has no understanding of normal school things. We've switched Spidey through a lot of daycares, some by choice, others not. His first one closed about 9 months after he started there, closing the whole business. The second one … Continue reading It’s summer! — well, almost
Indigo: Blues is here! #wlw #lesfic #smalltown #lesbianromance #slowburn
Indigo: Blues released this month, and I've been amazed at how well it's doing. Readers truly are what makes this entire process of publishing worth it in the end. There's a whole lot of frustrations that comes with it, but sharing stories, that's where the joy is. I wrote this book over a year ago, and one … Continue reading Indigo: Blues is here! #wlw #lesfic #smalltown #lesbianromance #slowburn
Back to therapy I go…and progress I will make…
I make it no secret that I have been to therapy in my past. I haven't been to individual therapy since I was in college. Not for lack of trying. The last few individual therapists I've tried have been awful and so not worth my time or money.In fact, as soon as I confessed to one what I … Continue reading Back to therapy I go…and progress I will make…
Snow days and sledding!
We've had a couple snow days in the last few months. Most of them have been virtual learning days, which with a Kindergartner is a total blast. NOT.

Indigo B&B – a series I said I’d never write
I never thought I would write a romance series, but when I started looking in how to market better, it made sense, honestly. Next up, I had to figure out how the series was going to work out. Indigo B&B is a series of 5 books, Indigo: Nights being the second in the series. Each book focuses on different main … Continue reading Indigo B&B – a series I said I’d never write
We’re about to get religious…hold onto your hats
For anyone who has read my books, you know that I push boundaries and write about subjects that often are considered taboo or topics that are difficult and heavy. I live in a world where these topics are my life. I'm a minister. This is normal to me, and quite frankly, I believe it is … Continue reading We’re about to get religious…hold onto your hats

Indigo: Blues #coverreveal #preorder #wlw #lesfic
This book blossomed because I had one flipping scene in my head, and that scene didn't even end up in the book until chapter fifteen, but boy did I love writing it. I had a few goals and challenges to myself with this book. I wanted to write a slow burn (totally accomplished), and I … Continue reading Indigo: Blues #coverreveal #preorder #wlw #lesfic
Marketing Frenzy #amwriting #indie #ireadindies
I have long neglected this blog. I hope to stop that, but as marketing comes and goes with the events of a new release, I fear the blog is low on the priority list for me. It has been since July...which is shocking. So much has happened since then. Love Burns released August 17th. Release … Continue reading Marketing Frenzy #amwriting #indie #ireadindies

My daughter, "Sister," and I modeling two paperbacks of Eira. She's much better at modeling than I am. Eira is FINALLY here. This story and I have been through the ringer.

I really wanted Elsa to get the girl, and … Continue reading The Eira Ghost is Here #fairytaleretelling #lesfic #wlw #paranormalromance
Life Update
It's been a while since I blogged over here. I've been busy writing and editing and avoiding this website as much as I can, honestly. This website and I have a love-hate relationship. Anyway, I'm here again! I've been writing. A lot. I've got 8 books coming out in 2021. Stone's Mistake (Agent Morgan Stone … Continue reading Life Update
#ROW80 and Writing Goals
I used to participate actively in ROW80, ages ago, as I did with WIPpet Wednesdays. I always love supporting other aspiring and published authors. We all need to encourage one another. I've fallen behind on my blogging, which is not abnormal. I'm so focused on writing and getting some new material out there right now … Continue reading #ROW80 and Writing Goals

Religion in lesfic #brokentaboos #amwriting #shortstory
I write lesfic, and I write religion, and the two do not often mix. There are some places that this works, but most likely, whatever I write with a women loving women bent and religion is not going to take off. I know this, but still I write it. Why? Because lesbians are Christians and … Continue reading Religion in lesfic #brokentaboos #amwriting #shortstory
A Mission and a Risk #WIPpetWednesday
And here we are at ANOTHER WIPpet Wednesday. So excited to be here. =P I'm sharing from a book titled De-Termination, which is the second Quarter Life book. I published Unbound in 2015! That seems like so flipping long ago, it's hard to imagine. I didn't realize it had been that long. This book has … Continue reading A Mission and a Risk #WIPpetWednesday
Be kind, Rewind! #writingtip
A few years ago, my spouse was starting a new job with a new manager and this said manager kept getting frustrated with my spouse. You see, my spouse has a couple common phrases that he says ALL the time and one of those phrases is "Sure, sure." So every time this manager would ask … Continue reading Be kind, Rewind! #writingtip
I may be back…I may disappear again…
As my children finally get a little older and as I finally work through some of the trauma from the birth of my second, I am FINALLY getting back into writing a tad bit. It's been a whirlwind for the past four years of trying to just keep up with basics and function. In November … Continue reading I may be back…I may disappear again…
Writing has never felt so good! #ROW80 #amwriting #ROW80Update
My goodness I've actually written! It feels so good, you have no idea. Monday I spent a lot of Spider-Man's nap time writing, and as soon as my spouse got home from work, I pounded on the keys as long as I could. That was at least until my wrist started hurting. Gotta start exercising … Continue reading Writing has never felt so good! #ROW80 #amwriting #ROW80Update
