Friday Ramblings From An Author-Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone. This week I began work on my first shifter story. I just can’t seem to leave cowboy themes alone so the heroine is once again sheriff of the county. It’s great trying new stuff because it takes you out of your comfort zone that so many of us get inside of…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Another Series Completed
Another week over and lots more things crossed off my to do list. I finally finished the last story in the Big Sky Cowboys trilogy. The first book should be released sometime this month.

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Hard At Work

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Writers and Sharp Objects
I was reminded this week just how valuable hands are to us writers. I’m working on some cookbooks and being the multi-tasker that I am have been combining testing recipes with cooking dinner.

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Winter Starts Tomorrow
Winter officially begins tomorrow and that means the days start getting longer again. Although where I live it’s looked like winter for about three weeks now! Question of the week. Do you get more writing done in the winter or summer? I think for me it’s about equal, although sometimes summer means outside things call…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Writing Goals
As 2013 winds down it’s a good time to start thinking about your writing goals and what you want to achieve in 2014. I keep a notebook next to me when I write and as well as jotting down character’s names and ages, etc., I also use it to keep track of the date and…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-It’s Freezing
The snow has arrived and it’s freezing cold. Not that I like either of those two things but it does make for great writing weather. Nothing else to do but sit inside and write…or even read. Well NaNoWriMo is over and now it’s time to start my second draft of the first story in my…
