A late Ramblings this week because when I woke up this morning to discover no Internet. These days, I guess we take it for granted and it’s not until you can’t connect that you realize how big a role it plays in our lives. I’m now playing catch up with replying to e-mails and uploading…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Snow, Sun…You Name It!
Less than 30 minutes ago, I glanced out of the window and saw snow falling. Not just flakes, but heavy snow and thought about all the leaves that need raking, the umbrella and patio furniture that still need storing away for winter. Panic set in thinking this was it, winter had arrived, but now as…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Falling Leaves
It’s supposed to be in the mid 80s today, and next week, well, let’s just say, it’s going to feel cold. Seems like the leaves have turned overnight and falling even faster. Next week, the September classes come to a close and then on October 5th, a class and boot camp begin. The class focuses…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Almost Fall
Fall is almost upon us. The leaves are turning and even falling. Where has 2020 gone? Looking back over summer, I didn’t get as much reading done as I have in previous years. The books I did read were entertaining and I found some new to me authors which is always exciting. I’m still on…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-A Taste of Fall
A short work week and a quiet one or so it seems in all of the writing communities. There’s a taste of fall in the air with chilly mornings and leaves beginning to turn. I enjoyed my short break last week because I finally finished the cozy mystery I was reading and got lots of…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Upcoming Mini-Break
Last Ramblings of August and the online writing retreat ends on Monday. Seems like only yesterday I was planning the whole event. This week was mostly devoted to writing the new book in my Kalispell Shifters series. I love it on the days when you don’t want to stop writing and your fingers feel…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Should I Be Writing a Vampire Story?
Ever wonder if the universe reaches out to us authors and tells us what to write? I have a tale to share with you. Let me start by saying you never know what creature will put in an appearance in the yard or house. I woke up Thursday morning, walked out to the living room,…
Friday Ramblings-New Story Begins
Story number 14 of my Kalispell Shifters series is officially underway. If you saw my Thursday post, you know I ended up tweaking it. Once I began writing, the two main characters guided me in a new direction. Something I often tell my students not to worry about. I’m liking this new direction a whole…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-New Release (Well, Sort Of)
This week I published a new story and I use the word new loosely because I wrote it back in 2016 as part of my Big Sky County series. As I had plans to self publish, I had to wait until I got rights back to the last book in the series before I could…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Writing a Non-Fiction Book in 30 Days
It’s the end of July! Today, the second session of the writing retreat concludes and the final stretch begins on Monday. This last session will focus on perfecting things, making your words shine, making your story the best it can be. We then move onto writing a synopsis and putting together a cover letter. We’ll…
