    A while back, I blogged about watching the first space shuttle launch while standing in a small patch of trees lining the water across from Cape Canaveral. I had no idea what my dad was so excited about or why he kept making us look at the island across the way so we didn’t miss…

    Greetings everyone! I hope your New Year is off to a terrific start. My 2016 began with a book launch, which is a fantastic way to start a year. Whispering Hearts is doing great and being very well received. There are a few reviews already, including one from RT Book Reviews and this wonderful review…

    2015 has been one of the busiest and most exciting years of my life. My first two books came out, and I’ve learned so much about the publishing process. I’m also beginning to learn how to balance publishing books with creating them—no easy feat! I’m very lucky to be working with such a great team…

    This week, we’ll enjoy the Long Night’s Moon. We’ve just passed the Winter Solstice—the longest night of the year. The light is starting to return, though we still have months of winter before us. I’m going to take this opportunity to reflect back on everything that’s come before and look forward to all the adventures…

    The New Year is fast approaching, and with it thoughts of habits I want to build and ones I’d like to break in 2016. The standard goals are there for me (and most everyone I know). Exercise more. Eat better. Be more present with my loved ones. My Achilles heels, though, are my own.

    The year is starting to wind down. It’s hard to notice sometimes with the jostling, bustling holiday season. Everyone is running around, buying gifts, eating good food, sharing even better company. It’s a beautiful time. A very busy time. In the midst of tracking holiday schedules, trying to fit in the last of my projects…

    October’s full moon was about removing things from my life—letting objects, thoughts, or feelings go if they no longer served me. November’s full moon is the deeper pass. Now is the time to let go of things that I once cherished, but are now merely draining my energy. Accomplishments I tried to achieve, but fell…

    Each character I write has a very distinct feel to them. When I’m in their POV, I share their thoughts and feelings (and hope my readers do as well!). Some characters are active and energetic, like Rachel from The Summer Park Psychics series. Others are controlled and commanding, like Adam Smith from The Department of…

    The beginning of November is one of my favorite times of the year. There’s a stillness to it that precedes the ramp-up in activity before holiday season and after the new year starts. It’s a restful time, the calm before the storm. My life is often loud, always busy, with little time for reflection and…
