My 2015 Summer Reading List
Summer’s almost upon us and here is my list of the twenty books I’ll (or attempt to) read from June 21st until September 23rd. They’re in no particular order. Some are from my winter reading list that I didn’t get to. Four are non-fiction titles. Some are in print form and the rest are stored on…
Summer Reading List-First Book
Last year I made a list of books I wanted to read over the summer. I had visions of sitting on the deck, nice cold drink in one hand and a book in the other, but that scenario didn’t happen. This year I’m determined it will so yesterday I took the first step and purchased…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Feels Like Fall
Today definitely feels like fall. It’s the coldest it’s been in a long time, and windy too. However, I won’t complain because it’s perfect for staying inside and writing. One of this month’s workshops had to be canceled due to low registration and the second one’s in danger of going the same way. I’ve been…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Goodbye February
I always say it, but it seems like February flew by. I’m sure it was just yesterday that I turned the calendar over to 2014. Three more weeks until Spring…I only wish the weather knew it.

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-I Found A Minature Library
First before I forget, if you’re interested in learning to write a synopsis, I’m teaching a workshop on that topic Sept 1-30. Check out the workshop schedule on this site for the details. It’s the last time I’m teaching it this year and the final time I’ll teach it in its current format. I’m revamping it…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Is It Almost August Already?
You can see by the title of this post that I’m in utter shock that July is nearly over. Just today I was thinking that it will soon be the end of summer, leaves will need raking and before you know it…no, I don’t want to think about snow. Today I found the list of…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-A Short One
It’s a lovely day and my first opportunity to work outside. The weatherman says it’s turning colder and windy tomorrow so we authors have to take advantage of nice writing conditions when we can. And for that reason this week’s rambling will be short. The POV workshop kicked off this week. Next week I have another story,…
