To My Younger Self
Back in February, I shared that I was taking an Artificial Intelligence college class. I learned so much over the course of those 16 weeks. The top thing I learned was that no matter what I thought I knew one week, AI was going to change a lot by the next week. Whew! Folks, this is a crazy fast world we live in. I used a lot of my assignments to help me prepare for the next book I intend to … [Read more...]
To Love a Beast is Now Available!
It's always scary to try something new, yet there's an inherent excitement too. That's the state I'm in right now, as my first solo indie project launched last week. To Love a Beast - my latest fairy tale retelling set in 1800's Texas. Reviews are coming in, and I'm absolutely delighted to see that readers are falling in love with this story as much as I did while writing it. Beauty & the … [Read more...]
Guest Post: Grace Hitchcock
Hey, y'all! I hope you enjoy this post by my friend Grace Hitchcock. Check out her books linked in her bio at the bottom of this post. She's a delightful person and writer. Enjoy! The Listening Habit that Transformed My Writing As a child, I used to love listening to fiction books on tape (yes, tape…do you remember the pain it was to rewind them, or heaven forbid try to find the exact … [Read more...]
“Survey says!” (a question for you)
Remember that line from the game show Family Feud? I started to say "old" game show but it may still be on (and not just in syndication). Anyway... If yes, would you share the name of the book and the author? Reason being, I've recently gotten the following three Fountain Creek Chronicles novels back from a publisher, which I'm thrilled about (thank you, dear publisher), and need to … [Read more...]
Emotions unveiled
I'm reading a book called Consolations: The Solace, Nourishment, and Underlying Meaning of Everyday Words by David Whyte. The author does not write from a Christian perspective and I haven't gotten far into the book, as I want to read it thoughtfully. I thought it would be a book about the meaning of words, but it's not--it's really a book about the meaning of emotions. And being a novelist, I'm … [Read more...]

Girlfriend Getaway
About a year and a half ago, I joined with three other women to begin a "Connect Group" (aka Sunday School Class). The church leadership team had realized that single mothers didn't necessarily feel that they had a place to belong, seeing as how most existing classes were for married adults or single adults without kids. One of my co-teachers was raised by a single mom, two of them are single … [Read more...]
Feeding Creativity
Today I’m writing this post from a bus in Italy. It’s a fun and challenging experience. I hope you’ll forgive any typos! There is something about traveling that feeds my creativity. I’m sure I will post more when I’m not writing on my phone. But the colors. The architecture. The landscapes. The variety of dialects that I hear. All of it combines to fuel me and fill my cup. Add in … [Read more...]
The Summer of No
A lot of my writer friends and reader friends know I have Lupus. I’m pretty open about it and the fact that I have three autoimmune disorders. I try hard not to let my disorders rule my life. If I’m completely honest, I try my best to defy them. It’s the rebellious nature in me when told no regarding my health. I don’t like being limited or having to curtail the things I’d love to do at times … [Read more...]
