I’ve been a lot of things in my life, an actress, a theater manager, a publisher, a storm chaser, an author, a princess, just to name a few. And with each of these I entered into a new era of my journey, learned something new about myself and about the world, and grew in ways I can’t even calculate….
I’ve been waiting for over ten years to finally be able to write Thieftess, the fourth book in the Woodcutter Sister series and that time is finally here! And best of all, my Patreon patrons get to read it as I work on it! This means that if you subscribe to my Patreon at the $25/mo level, you’ll get…
I always get a little thrill when I’m featured for being a storm chaser instead of being a writer. Is that weird? Granted, this exceptionally fun and funny Girls Who Chase profile of Chris and me talks about both these loves of our lives. Because we aren’t just women who chase, we are… AUTHORS WHO CHASE! And also…my hair…
Okay, Chasers! (Chasefacers? Twisters? Rainmakers? Or maybe…MY PRETTIES AND YOUR LITTLE DOG, TOO) Chris has given the green light for us to head out on TUESDAY. Hooray! The forecast doesn’t look like much until next weekend, but leaving Tuesday gives us the opportunity to take our time to get out there, test our cameras, and survey the landscape. WHAT…
I am honored to be surrounded by the most amazing people. Of all the jobs I’ve had in my life–and there have been some amazing ones–I miss my tenure at YAS (the Youth After School program in Northern Virginia) the most. (Yes, I really did work for Parks and Rec. I still have all my polos!) “I miss working…
THIS THURSDAY kicks off the weekend we’ve been waiting for all winter long–Coastal Magic Con in Daytona Beach, FL! Dance parties, fun and games, and the opportunity to hang out with some of my closest writer friends ON THE BEACH! Here’s my schedule for the weekend. (Between panels, you can find me at Leanna Renee Hieber’s vendor table.) ************************…
Good morning, everyone! Lily asked a very good question on another post: “What’s the birth order of the Woodcutter siblings?” Obviously, Monday-Sunday are easy to figure out. It’s one of the reasons I liked using those names–with so many daughters in a family, I could have easily confused my readers. But what about the boys? At one point during…
It’s the first of the month again, which means it’s my turn to blog over at The Waterworld Mermaids. Today I’m talking Location — writing about places you’ve never been, and urging you to visit as many places as you can to learn about them before you write them. I also discuss the surreality of inventing a town that…
In an effort to catch back up with the world at large, I wrote a make-up blog post at the Waterworld Mermaids today. The message may have been delivered with more force than I intended, but it certainly gets my point across. Some days, we are just frustrated with the world. The chaos of our lives can go on…
