This is one of my favorite trees (or a large shrub) because it is native and blooms at whacky times of the year. Oh, and its flowers look like spiders! Depending on the species, witch hazel blooms either before winter or after. The native species, Hamamelis virginiana, is a late fall bloomer for bees to […]
It’s #BookQW and Cor ‘eat’s up whatever wins him the most points. Excerpt from Chapter 14: When Dad returned her to Hillux so she could go home, Cor was sweeping the kitchen, Hilda chasing his heels and wheeking.

I’m starting this set of brief posts between now and the release of my newest YA, Guardian of the Pines. Why? Because my hero, Cor, loves trees and also is a beekeeper. Red Maple trees have begun to bloom in my area, the suburbs of Washington, D.C. They aren’t a tree that folks go out […]

It’s #BookQW and this is the ‘night’ Cor’s story starts. Excerpt from: Chapter 1 ~ Methods of Escape Bonterra City, in the Windborne Britain District Well past midnight, Cor glided in a serpentine motion down dark, tree-lined streets. His longboard’s wheels made a rhythmic thump crossing the concrete’s seams, and he pumped his wings every […]
It’s #BookQW and Cor puts trees first in ‘order’ every time. Excerpt from Chapter 1: With Cor wiping the weapon, they left the conservatory and approached a door just inside the main house.
