Eyes in Recovery Mode
Well, I had PRK eye surgery during the first week of this month. The recovery is still on going, so my posts will probably be short and even more sporadic than normal. Things are recovering well, but there is still a lack of sharpness to my sight that makes anything text related (writing, reading, blogging),… Continue reading

New year… New excuses…
Well, this year is not off to a super productive start for me. (Which is not surprising for me). I usually take some time “off” from my to-do lists to decompress after the holidays. But in exciting news, I am working on outlining a new novel. As I’ve been working on my outline, I got… Continue reading

Read My Books!
If I haven’t mentioned it lately, I have two books that are available on Amazon. As I’m getting closer to finishing book three, I just wanted to remind everyone that you need to read the first two before the third one is released. The third book is going to be the ending of the series… Continue reading

Dreaming Big
If you read some of my latest posts, you know that I am currently working on book 3 in my YA fantasy series. I am really excited about finishing an entire trilogy.

March’s 2021 prompt
In an effort to actually motivate myself to get things done, I’ve been making myself a list (in my head) each morning of the three things I have to do BEFORE I am allowing myself to play video games or watch tv. Believe it or not, this has been working for me. I’m pretty good… Continue reading
