God-Defined Dreamer
From movies to books to songs, you hear the resounding message: “Follow your dreams.” And I suppose there is some right in the saying.

Not […]
My Plans for Once a Stratton
I think I’ve talked a little bit about my plans for Once a Stratton – I’m never very tight-lipped with y’all! – but I’ve never gone into detail about what to expect in the next couple months and years. So … today I’d like to write a post briefly explaining my plans and goals for […]
At Her Fingertips, Blog Tour: Day 3
AND WE GOT THROUGH THE FIRST DAY AND HERE WE ARE! *big grin* And today’s theme day, so we get to talk about meanings and lessons and all that fun stuff. Honestly, writing theme is hard for me.

Are Novels Important?
I’ve heard people say that reading fictional stories is a waste of time, and I wanted to point out why this is not true. However, it was simply too big a subject for me! Books have taught me certain lessons … but they’ve taught other people completely different things. And I hate to narrow this broad subject down […]

Introducing “That Plot Bunny”
Apologies for this post being so late! I’ve been having a busy last couple days, what with school and work and writing and editing, and I haven’t found a lot of time to blog! Plus I spent most of my blogging time working on AAWC instead of my regular book posts. 😛 Now, a couple […]

25 Spoiler-Free Facts about Ivy Introspective
A few months ago, I posted 25 Spoiler-Free Facts About The Dressmaker’s Secret. And if you thought I was just going to do it for one novel, you were wrong. (No surprise there, eh?) (What?! I’m kidding!) (You are a very smart person … you’re just dumb about this one thing …) I stole this idea […]
