Empress’s New Groove
Hey y'all. Trying to think of when I last wrote, and I can't exactly remember. That's bad, right? Early dementia? Or am I just too lazy to check this thing and find out for myself? Possibly both, and both are equally as bad. Anywho, I thought I'd take a break from the current project to… Continue reading Empress’s New Groove
All You Have Is Your Fire
I've been told since my near-toddler age that I was a natural born storyteller. I impressed preschool teachers with my ability to give stick figure paintings a story with a beginning, a middle, and an end; an apparently rare ability to find in a child that age. Learning to read and write was a blessing,… Continue reading All You Have Is Your Fire
Morning Musings

I’m taking a wee break from the creative process to write a Real Entry in this blog.… Continue reading Confessions of a Fangirl

But I also find it necessary to share, to show you what I'm working on, and to maybe suck you… Continue reading Afterglow
The Most Romantic Night of the Year
Happy New Year! My apologies for leaving this space blank for too long. I had these grand ambitions of regularly updating with little excerpts from my novel, my perpetual WIP (work in progress) and I just haven't followed through as well as I wish I had. But let's remedy that, shall we? (I had initially… Continue reading The Most Romantic Night of the Year
Dinner Conversation
Greetings! So, I have been working on a novel for way longer than I'd like to admit. I'm referring to it fondly as my child at this point, because I've more or less raised it. I keep going back to it in between short stories and perfecting every little word until a scene feels complete,… Continue reading Dinner Conversation
