Young Adult Readers Take Chances October 27, 2017
I am working on my first Young Adult (YA) novel “Come Back January”, a standalone installment in a series of books. It was after attending BookCon in New York this year, that I decided to venture into a new genre, one that welcomed me into a whole new world I had never considered, and one filled with surprises. Here are a few things I learned …

I’m a Pantsing Percolator August 31, 2017
Writers come in all shapes and sizes. I’d like to say I’m well rounded and big [in the industry], but as a woman I hate that description about me. Instead, I’ll go ahead and borrow the terms “pantser” and “plotter”, which describe types of writers, and were coined (according to different sources), by Nanowrimo, Stephen King, and even good old Shakespeare him […]
Free Healthcare? August 29, 2017
Money is a funny thing. Before there were paper bills (money), people traded cows for horses and corn for milk. We’re a lot more sophisticated now, now we exchange paper for food, diamonds, a vacation, a car… Name the price and we’ll just add more bills. A piece of paper with a monetary value. We work more hours, go to school, and work additional jobs … […]
Untitled August 25, 2017
I last wrote in May?! Yikes! But just so you know, I have not been slacking. I’ve been busy. Very busy. My daughter graduated from college in May, and of course we had a big party (I love parties). I had as much fun as the guest of honor (maybe more), and we had a huge turnout with delicious food that I did not make. …
Happy Mother’s Day! May 15, 2017
To Insanity and Beyond, A Mom’s Journey was published in 2002. It is a compilation of some of my short stories previously published in a few parenting magazines. Ready or Not, Baby’s Here is one of those stories, and today, I’d like to dedicate it to any new parents out there who are still a little unsure about what they’re getting or have gotten into. … […]
O Spring, Spring, Wherefore Art Thou? April 9, 2017
O Spring, spring, wherefore art thou? Yesterday I was out doing yard work for the first time in months, while pretending that spring is finally here. It was chilly, but I took my jacket off and worked harder and faster to stay warm (I just refused to put my jacket on as I held onto the fantasy that I didn’t really need it). Despite the …
PBS cuts, Toy Story news, and kid memories of yesteryear February 1, 2017
Before I started writing novels (in 2014), I wrote short stories and articles for parent and family magazines. The compilation of many of those articles resulted in the book To Insanity and Beyond, A Mom’s Journey, which was published in 2002. The title of the book was timely and inspired by Buzz Lightyear’s famous words in Toy Story (To infinity and beyond) […]
Making it great! December 30, 2016
2016 was not an easy year. My mom passed away in April, my sister’s best friend passed away in September, and my country is now divided by politics after a too long and painful election year (and I don’t expect it to heal any time soon). 2016 was also a good year. I celebrated my 50th year as an American citizen, my dog’s 16th birthday …
Move over! December 1, 2016
