Again this week I’m featuring my WIP, The Farm, for Six Sentence Sunday! Today my artist heroine Annmar meets another of Wellspring Collective’s farm workers—a girl who becomes her friend and confidant. Once more Annmar shook hands and probably said the usual niceties, but her mind jumped to the hue of Mary Clare’s emerald eyes, […]
Thanks for stopping by for Six Sentence Sunday! Please join my heroine Annmar on her first look at one of her new fellow workers on Wellspring Farm, in my WIP The Farm. Rivka is one interesting fellow, in her city-reared opinion. Below Annmar’s window, Wellspring’s manager joined several farmworkers under the spreading tree. A tall […]
Back on August 7th NPR announced the results of their summer’s poll seeking the Top 100 Teen Books. When I used this list for a YA panel I participated in, I noted a number of these titles are commonly shelved as Middle Grade books. Several people at that talk and since (especially with the holidays […]
Another week of edits on my WIP The Farm: When the farm owner leads the new artist through the outbuildings on a tour, Daeryn drops what he’s doing and follows along to meet her, instantly raising the hackles of his co-workers. Jac flipped her hair over one shoulder. “Oh, please. Just because you’re lead now, […]

In my WIP The Farm, a mystery pest is feeding on the fall crops that Daeryn and his team of nocturnal predators guard. They have run down one of the furry black animals, but lost it before getting a good look. They all shifted and Jac led them a couple of hundred feet around a […]
I’m deep into edits of my WIP, The Farm, and thinking of little else, thus missed several Six Sentence Sundays. But my two machine excerpts have drawn the attention of the friend of a friend, who I understand is itching for more. Yes, I have more odd machines in the story! But first, I think […]
I may have captured an orb image – pretty neat, a bit scary, and definitely confusing. Last night’s featured speaker at my writing chapter—Maryland Romance Writers—was Mark Nesbitt of Ghosts of Gettysburg. Near the end of his presentation of paranormal phenomena, he showed an image of a paranormal orb. It sparked recognition, because I’d just […]
I never met the author, but his books made an impact on my teen years. Back in the 70’s I devoured his science fiction, particularly the short stories. One that stuck with me is about an agency offering dinosaur hunting via time travel. The hunters were not allowed off the levitating path, but one man […]
To celebrate spring and have an outlet for my interests in native plant gardening and photography, I’ve started a nature blog. Come visit The Squirrel Nutwork to get your fix of the outdoors and squirrely antics in suburbia.
