We did it! Made it through another winter season. Granted, where I am, winter was one a few days of ice and a few weeks of cold wind. It’s not like when I lived up north and it felt like the frigid, gray, snow-shoveling days were never-ending. I remember taking vacation each April and headingContinue reading “Hoping for Spring”

Happy New Year
This year has been one for the books (get it, books?) Hard to believe, almost a year ago I took the trip of a lifetime, driving from Texas to California via New Mexico. I visited friends, saw Joshua Tree National Park, spent the night in Laurel Canyon, saw the Eagles in their (non)native California, hadContinue reading “Happy New Year”
Let’s Meet!
Here we go! I’m excited and daunted that I’m able to get out and meet readers where they shop while supporting our local independent bookstores. It’s just a little over a week until I’ll be in downtown Denton, TX at Patchouli Joe’s Books & Indulgences with my book Flipping the Record. It’s all still aContinue reading “Let’s Meet!”
I’m Beginning to Feel Like a Real Author
If that’s not mind blowing, I don’t know what is! I’m equal parts excited and petrified that I’m bringing my book out into the world, and today I’m heading to a few more bookstores to see if they’d be interested in doing a meet-n-greet or just carry my book in their stores. Stay tuned toContinue reading “I’m Beginning to Feel Like a Real Author”
They Liked It!
Anyone that knows an author knows how important it is to them to get reviews of their book. Going beyond the helping others to gauge how others perceive the story, but the ever-important algorithm! Much like all those social media algorithm’s, it helps to keep the book in circulation and in front of potential interestedContinue reading “They Liked It!”
Ever Feel Like You’re Climbing the Alps?
A long, long time ago, I started writing a story and it was taking me down this long, winding path but kept bringing me back to the same spot. Time and time again. The path felt covered and hidden. I’m not even a hundred percent sure what switched, or when that path changed but I’mContinue reading “Ever Feel Like You’re Climbing the Alps?”

Daunting as Hell…
I’m not gonna lie, this whole writing thing gets to be crazy daunting when it comes time to trying to decide if I want to get traditionally published. Suddenly, the joy I find in putting words on paper makes my hands sweat and that little voice in the back of my head says ‘who areContinue reading “Daunting as Hell…”
Merry Everything!
As 2021 comes to a close, I am simply in awe at all the crazy, incredible, exciting changes that happened in just twelve short months….
“They like me…”
So, at some point last year, dug in to a really deep writers block due to a whole lot of circumstances beyond COVID, I forced myself to write something. Instead of making myself do a whole full-length novel because words weren’t coming, I told myself ‘just write a short story. Just write a few pages.Continue reading ““They like me…””
