Wow, I’m really losing track of time this year! Almost two months since my last post. Now that Aria is almost two, that child is running circles around me but we’re establishing a routine and I’m at a place where I’m starting to demand everyone else give me some space so I can start spending […]
I’ve long dreamed of becoming a coupon queen. Of walking out of stores with $100.00 worth of groceries for $10.00. Of learning everything there is to know about sales, stacking, money makers, and all the stuff the greats in the coupon world seem to know. Stuff I can’t seem to grasp so needless to say, […]
What makes a movie romantic? What is it that draws us in and keeps us glued to our seats, mindlessly munching buttery, artery clogging popcorn as we wait, breathlessly, for that final ‘aw’ inspiring scene? That moment we know our time was well spent because we finally got our happily-ever-after fix. The lead actor and […]
In the last post, I introduced you to Nick. It was clear early on that this guy is going to be one of my favorites and I’m kind of sorry his book falls last in the series. Especially since it’s looking like this series could wind up being at least sixteen books long. Yikes! I’m not making […]
It’s probably fair to say that most every girl in the world has seen, or read, romantic fairytales. Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White… I could list more, but you get the idea. Why are little girls (and sometimes not so little girls) captivated by the whole happily-ever-after thing? Because we’re girls and a whole lot […]

Those days have long since passed because seeing the […]
And I mostly need to be honest with myself. It took a long talk with author CC Mackenzie to open my eyes to what I’ve been doing for the past year and a half. What might that be? To put it simply, I’ve been lying to myself. Telling myself I want to write this book, […]
Dear diced peaches company… While I realize diced in no way means minced, neither does it mean CHUNKS. Diced is what I do to onions for spaghetti – unless my baby brother might be eating it and then I go with a mince. The term DICED leads one to believe a fourteen month old […]
Through the years, I’ve found that my mood is greatly influenced by what I see and hear. This is especially true when I’m writing. If I have a happy scene to write, I choose an upbeat playlist to listen to – very softly – in order to help get me in the right frame of […]
On this, the eve of my fifth anniversary on this crazy rollercoaster ride that is indie writing, I feel like I should reflect on what I’ve learned. Not so much about writing because I’ve been doing that since I was a kid – silly plays when I was eight or ten years old, and then […]
