Required Writing Tool

Every book I’ve ever written a faithful dachshund has been right beside me…first Frankie, then Joie, and now Gidget. As I finish up production of Wisdom Found in the Pause – Joie’s Gift tying together all the many different parts to bring you a special edition gift package soon, I had to take a moment and hug my little Miss G, and thank her for being my steadfast, patient friend. How could I not stop what I was doing and give this face a smooch, right?

Best writing tool this writing girl could ever ask for! I highly recommend one for every writer!

SNEAK PEEK: My Writing Cottage Featured in "She Sheds - A Treasure Trove of Women's Creative Spaces"
Sneak Peek of Cover with my Story Featured Inside

I’m excited to share with you the cover of the She Shed book my story and “She Shed,” a.k.a. my zen writing cottage and Joyful Paws headquarters, is featured in!

I’m still trying to work out the logistics of offering copies for sale for those interested. The publisher is out of Australia so I’m looking for a cost effective way to get copies here.

But I can hardly stand the wait to see this book which will be out May 2016.

If you think you might be interested in purchasing a signed copy of the book from me, please let me know in the comments section below.

I can’t promise yet if I can make this happen — but I am working on seeing if it can be done.  Stay tuned!

Has it Really Been Nine Years?

Has it Really Been Nine Years?

So it was nine years ago that I started this little old thing called a blog/website as a way to share my writing with others.

Looking back, I see I jumped through many hoops of moments of fear. Many blog posts later, two children’s books, one memoir, and a how to book for authors published, I’m still enjoying the ride.

I feel incredibly blessed for this journey and look so forward to what is in front of me now and what still lies ahead.

Thank you for being here. It means so much to me!
