Hi Everyone! I’m late with my Book Quote Wednesday post because I was turning in my book! I’ve been head-down in the writing cave for a few weeks now polishing Lost Whisperer of the Seas. Somehow, I always have more changes to make than I thought. I turned the novel in last night after a […]
What’s going on with planet Earth is so out of reach of my control, that I’m left feeling helpless most days. I grew up playing in the national parks my dad worked in. I made my own career in environmental education for decades. I raised my kids to care for nature. I write novels about […]
It’s #BookQW and we have to prepare for a new release! Lost Whisperer of the Seas is set in the Irish Sea surrounding the Isle of Giuthas and on the coast of Scotland, where the Seas family manages the fisheries for the isle. Coral has made a brief appearance in the series already, but Ty […]
I had a fellow author post on my Instagram that she doesn’t have book festivals in her area. I didn’t take many photos other than the tent I shared with my friend, J. T. Bock, author of superpowered romances. But here’s a little taste of what the Gaithersburg Book Festival looked like at our corner! […]
It’s #BookQW and there’s nothing like magic to ‘lift’ your day! More from Chapter 6: Laughter erupted. “Told you, you’re better off with us.” Marty and the hoodie guy were only feet away. “Just come along.” He waggled a finger at her. Blood beaded across the back of her hand, the stinging mixed with tingling, […]
The Hawthorn tree, Crataegus sp. in my neighborhood is covered in flowers right now… and covered in bees–look close to see one flying! I saw all sizes, from very tiny 1/4 inch ones to bumblebees. They are high up in the branches and, unfortunately, their hum can only be heard during the brief lags in passing […]
Whatever I was going to write about flew out the window when I discovered mason bees are using our new house. Honestly, I never expected this to work so quickly. First, the photos I managed to take! These bees know exactly where they are going. They land in a tube and quickly disappear. They may […]
It’s #BookQW, where tripping can be good ‘luck’. More from Chapter 5: Looking out the door, Fern stumbled on the steps. She hadn’t been on the “tree” side of the bus when they drove up, so had had no warning. The park was as Mr. Acer described—a rocky hill topped by a spreading oak—but she […]
It’s #BookQW and two wizards in trouble are fast becoming ‘friends’. More from Chapter 10: The Watcher had light brown skin and looked like an elf, though she doubted he was. His ears weren’t pointed, just large and sticking out. Or maybe his face was narrow, hard to tell because of his flailing auburn-red ringlets. […]
I suspect a lot of book-lovers are checking me out after seeing my BookBub new release feature for Guardian of the Pines. Welcome! I’m so excited I was picked for this promotion and happy you’re here to visit! Here are some quick notes: Pines is the second novel in The Windborne series. All are listed […]
