Another Great Year at Penned Con
Penned Con was amazing. I loved meeting all the people I interact with online. I met a bunch of new readers, writers, and bloggers. Plus I was able to reconnect with friends from past conferences.

Trial By Fire

This means that I am talking out loud to see how dialogue sounds and calling my husband in from the other room to ask which word sounds better. He gives his opinion, smiles and … Read More

Apparently, I Have Issues
I’m working on what will hopefully be the last round of edits for Trial By Fire, and apparently, I have issues. Okay, I have a lot of issues, but I think that’s normal. At least I hope so.
