Evolution of a cover
So, I had an interesting experience this week. It was a discussion in an author group about homemade vs. professional covers for books. I shared my experience with The Album's cover, and I thought it might be fun to write a blog and show the whole process. The initial...
Newsletter – 27th of October 2020
It's almost November! I can't believe we're only 4 days away from November and that means only 22 days until the release of The Baby. I'm so excited! I've recently gotten super into Photoshop and making graphics. I've decided to start posting daily quotes about...
Newsletter – 20th of October 2020
Well, hello there! I hope you're having an amazing day, today! This will be a *gasp* short newsletter this week because I don't have a lot of news to share. As usual, that will be in the Cruise Control update. Before that, I have three giveaways, and two books to tell...

Rewriting The Album…for the last time?
So, I rewrote The Album…again. 🙈 It’s so much better, though. Like, it was so bad that after going through it, I’m astounded it has a 4-star rating on Amazon. How was I not being reamed out for all the grammatical errors? Let alone, the horrendous storytelling! I've...
Newsletter – 6th Of October 2020
Did you bet I would rewrite The Album? If you'd told me when I was writing last week's newsletter that by the time I wrote this one, I'd have rewritten The Album, I'd have told you that you were crazy. But, I'll explain eeeeeverything in the Cruise Control update. Oh,...
Newsletter – 29th Of September 2020
Editing, editing, so much editing! Did I say that I didn't hate editing that much, last week? It can't have been me. You must be thinking of someone else… I'll tell you all about it in the Cruise Control update. Before that, I have four giveaways and one veeeeery...
Newsletter – 22nd Of September 2020
Editing isn't as bad I think it is… I always kind of dread it. When I finish a story, I'm done. I spent most of last week going through edits for Dreams and The Baby. It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! I'll tell you more in the Cruise Control update....
I finished writing Dreams in two weeks!
Kind of. Over 15,000 words were written back in 2008, when I initially had the idea for the story. So, I decided on the 1st of September that I was going to write and submit Dreams for the Wattys. With a deadline for submission of the 30th of September, that...
Newsletter – 15th of September
I finished Dreams in two weeks! I'm so, so proud of it. I was worried that trying to write a book in a month would lead to me being unable to do the story justice, but I completely love it. I'll tell you more in the Cruise Control update. In the meantime, I've got two...
Newsletter – 8th of September
Let's talk about books! I'm so happy to talk to you about what I've been up to this week. The short version is that I've written ten chapters of Dreams and posted them on Wattpad. You can find them here, and there'll probably be even more by the time you're reading...
Newsletter – 1st of September
It's the new newsletter day! Hey guys, long time, no talk. 😘 After my last newsletter, I actually got to go to swimming lessons for the first time in ages and was there when my four-year-old moved up classes. I was so proud of him and it reinforced for me that...
Heather walked over to him; it was a path that she had walked a thousand times before. The path from any given place that led her to Harrison.
