All About Only a Mother & An Excerpt
Well, I don’t know if I mentioned this before, but I’m writing a little short story called Only a Mother. It’s set in 1888 Scotland, and it’s about Ivy’s struggles in motherhood. Soooo … warning! There’s HUGE spoilers for Beyond Her Calling in this short story (if you don’t know how romances work). So just […]
April 2019 Dares
HELLLLLLOOOO! March hit me hard. Like, really hard. And I have a ton of catchup. But let’s take some time to write a quick recap even though I’m dead inside. On a sidenote, CAMP NANO IS HERE! And I am so excited! I changed my project Monday to finishing up the Kees & Colliers series […]
5 Things Raised-Christian People Miss Out On
A couple days ago, I was filling out a sheet which had slots for things like the character’s lie and truth as well as, of course, backstory. I had the character’s faults, the lies he tells himself, and the truth he needs to learn … But why? Why does he act like that? I needed […]
March 2019 Dares
HEY THERE! I always forget February is a short month, and honestly, 28 is sooo much less than 30! But here we are. Still alive. I think. I feel like I’m not really up to writing this post, but I am anyway, which is dangerous. *squints at my words, wondering if each one sounds crazy […]
I actually have to read nonfiction?
I’m currently going through a lot of research for my novel-in-progress, Alone in Berlin, and it’s not easy. I’ve written a lot of historical fiction, but this one requires more research than any other I’ve written. Also, I’ve just been working on The Chronicles of Alice and Ivy and the Kees & Colliers series for […]
5 Reasons You Should Read A Return of Devotion by Kristi Ann Hunter
Hey y’all! Today I’ve got a review of A Return of Devotion by Kristi Ann Hunter … only with a twist. It’s not written in typical review format—instead, I’m writing it as “reasons you should read it” + some further thoughts. There’s also a vlog + some updates about my vlog at the end of […]
What I’m Trying to Learn About Prioritization
Prioritization. I’m not so good that. It’s much more fun to skip from project to project, to work on the least important thing, to live life without a plan … At least, it is for me. Other people feel differently and are better at planning and scoping out their life. I’m just not one of […]
A Fish + My Crazy Life + More Delays
We all have ’em … crazy months. This month has been cRaZy for me, but I’m still here – and you’re still here – and this blog is still here. Nice when there’s something to hang on to, like visual reality. ??? Great, now I sound like my mother. That’s fine, though. This post is going […]
Beyond Her Calling, Blog Tour: Day 7
Hey y’all! This is the last official post of the blog tour before the wrapup tomorrow evening! Sorry for it getting out so late. I worked from 10 AM until pretty much now today, so yep. Tomorrow’s post will be similar – only even later. (Gym meet!) Today is future day! That means we’re talking […]
August 2018 Dares (At Long Last!)
Apparently 9 is also too late for me to be writer-ing blog posts? That graphic is my mind spilled out onto Canva. ? Yes. Yes, we are still doing this. The Dares shall not end. They were just … temporarily … delayed. I guess. For this post, I’ll just briefly recap what all happened in May and […]
Let’s Catch Up A Little
First of all … I am so proud of my photo-shopping skills. Like, seriously, y’all. Me and my jeep commander and my chocolate Dairy Queen milkshake can go ANYWHERE*. Also, to those of you who are concerned that I’ll drive off the road because I’m not looking + driving one-handed (who needs two hands to drive a […]
