Here is another part our look at behind the scenes of how I write. Maybe you’ll find something useful to try with your own writing. – What do you write on? Laptop or paper? Neither. I actually started out writing my first book on paper and then typing everything on the computer. I’ve tried composing […]
Commemorating the End of the Great War
Did you know that tomorrow, what we now know as Veteran’s Day, marks the end of the first World War? The cease fire went into effect on the eleventh day of the eleventh month at the eleventh hour in 1918. It was the end of “the war to end all wars.” (Sadly, we know that […]
Behind the Scenes – Part 1
I thought you all might enjoy getting a little glimpse of what my writing habits are like. Perhaps something I do will inspire or challenge you. Now, just because I do things this way, doesn’t mean everyone should. There are so many ways to write that each person needs to find what works for them. […]
Coming Soon!
I know some of you have been eagerly awaiting the cover release of my newest book “Through the Tunnel.” You don’t have to wait any longer! “I hate being a foster kid!” Fourteen-year-old Lissa had thought those words dozens, if not hundreds, of times over the last twelve years. She and her twin brother, Leigh, […]

Worth a Thousand Words
Good morning! I thought it was time I updated everyone on what is going on in my writing. Once again I’m at a place that I didn’t expect. At the beginning of the year I decided that I was going to focus on three things this year: • Getting “Gift from the Storm” finished and […]
What Track is Your Story On?
The afternoon was quickly slipping away. It was time to write. Eagerly I pulled out NEO, placed my notebooks, paper, and pen on my bed, and set up my music stand. I had been looking forward to this writing time since I had quit writing on Tuesday night. Now it was Thursday. Everything had […]
Favorite History
Here is another question, or rather two questions combined from two individuals. What part of history is your favorite to read/write about? That is a good question. I should have made this post before Sunday because I was asked that same question at church. The truth is, I’m not sure. I think I’ve only written […]
