Come visit my worlds
Two years ago today, my first book was published and the world of Summer Park was born—along with my publishing career. It was a wonderful experience and I learned so much through it—and in the years that followed. I have been busy, my friends, as my ever-growing sidebar attests to. Creating books from start...

Wow, I can hardly believe I've been doing these posts for forty weeks already! They've definitely helped me to keep my focus onto the positive things in my life 🙂 What's making me happy this week: visible progress. There are plenty of milestones in creating a book. Deciding on the initial idea, figuring out the... Continue Reading →
I noticed something peculiar early in my life. No one looked like me. Not my family, not my neighbors, not my friends. No one. My parents were both brunettes. Dad had brown eyes, and mom's were slate-gray green (mine are green with flecks of blue). My features, hair, and eyes didn't match anyone in my... Continue Reading →
What's making me happy this week: all the movies! So, I finally noticed that today is Thursday. I kinda lost track... I haven't taken much time to just unwind in the last few...um...years.

It's important to me to constantly improve what I publish, and I've been learning tons of things I want to put to good... Continue Reading →
What I'm happy about this week: possibilities. I'm feeling them right now. Lurking right beneath the surface of my creative well. Stories I've longed to write, ideas taking shape in my mind's eye, new projects that I think will bring me great joy. At this point, I need to do the work of bringing them... Continue Reading →
Writing is an intense process that takes a lot of time and energy. It's given me some of the greatest joys and greatest frustrations I've ever experienced. One of the most challenging parts for me is the back and forth that happens at the beginning of pretty much every project. This is before the writing... Continue Reading →
I set myself an overly ambitious goal in December to finish a rough draft. I'm not sure I can even call it a goal. I'm not sure what was behind me thinking, "Gee, I wonder if I can write an 80,000 word novel while hosting family holidays and dealing with the busiest time of year... Continue Reading →
