I’ve been a bit quiet here lately! I realized it’s been an obscenely long time since I last posted, but I’m planning to remedy that. My apologies, my dear friends. I’ve missed you! I’ve just been having a tremendous time soaking up sunshine with my family lately, and now we’re back to that thing called …
Every once in a while, a story just clicks for me. The plot pops into my head seemingly from nowhere, the writing flows with little effort, and I giggle half the time I’m writing it. A Good Memory is Unpardonable is one of those books. This is the second time I have written over 70% …
I suppose this post accidentally goes along with our June theme of Blossoming Love, because… well, that’s what’s happening. Oh, and there are flowers on the cover. So, I was in the throes of another project, one that I’ve been super excited about for a few months, and I wasn’t quite ready to share. However, …
Anyone up for a stroll down Memory Lane with me? It was September of 2014. We had barely started our homeschool year with a fourth-grader, a third-grader, and a first-grader, and my husband and I had just finished liquidating the last of our small business. And I was obsessed with John Thornton and Fitzwilliam Darcy. …
This month, we have been taking a look back at the last year and taking a moment to collect our breath as we plunge into 2021. My 2020 was… unique. My kids aren’t getting any younger, so we did what we could to enjoy them this year. In the time B.C. (Before Covid) my daughter …
Happy New Year! 2020 was a very difficult year for everyone, so I think it’s important for us to celebrate the achievement of all the authors who were somehow able to make their way through writing a book (or more than one, as it so happens!). It is no mean feat, I can tell you, …
For those of you keeping track, today we are wishing Jane Austen a Happy 245th Birthday! Thank you, our dear lady, for giving us so many more years of joy and love and laughter than you were able to enjoy yourself. In the time-honored tradition of giving gifts in celebration, today I am offering an …
I must offer my deepest apologies to everyone! The post encountered some technical difficulties that took quite a few hours to resolve (and still aren’t quite complete). I’m not quite sure how I accomplished this (I’m an author, not a video engineer) but the video went live… in 3D! I’m still scratching my head about …
Well, is this a swoony theme this month, or what? I’ve been loving all these romantic reads, but my fan is about worn out! Now, I will be quite honest. I was planning to write an exclusive for this theme because it was so much fun, but… I didn’t. You can throw your rotten tomatoes …
I will be honest. Research is at the same time the most boring and the most exciting part of writing. Boring when you are flipping through topic after topic, trying to dial in your facts and make sure you have all the right details in place. Exciting… when all those details tell the story for …
