Writing a winter story in winter
I’m doing first revisions on a draft of a winter story, and our recent snow is very much a mood connection. I spent five hours outdoors helping with our local Winter Bird Count, starting at 20 degrees and ending at 32. My chilly breaths of outside air remind me how winter feels, letting me deepen […]
Coming soon: Trial at the Faire!
A prequel novella for The Windborne series is coming July 1, 2021! I’ve worked on this story through my COVID stay-home and am thrilled it’s releasing. A medieval festival. An outing with friends. With costumes and their magic locked away, no one will suspect they’re wizards, right? Fifteen-year-old Raven wants nothing more than to spend […]
Book Quote Wednesday~ #extra on 6/16/2021
It’s #BookQW and Cor has to make ‘extra’ effort to fit in. More from chapter 10: She tilted her head toward Fern. “Sort of, well…” Fern mumbled, turning red. “Yeah. I mean, yes.” Lady Pina faced off with Fee, though not as aggressively as Fern’s mum had. “This is my fault for not having watched […]
Book Quote Wednesday ~ #hide on 6/9/2021
It’s #BookQW and when Cor tries to ‘hide’ who he is, trouble follows. More from chapter 1: Footsteps sounded behind him. “You didn’t even read it.” “Can’t take a handout.” His aunt would be furious. She’d certainly tell his dad. His parents’ rules were he and his sister had to earn stuff, not be handed […]
Book Quote Wednesday ~ #order on 5/12/2021
It’s #BookQW and an ‘order’ like this is new to this teen witch. More from Chapter 36: “Can I look for my own plant? Real quick?” Lady Soila threw her hands up. “Young’uns these days never listen. Go ahead. In less than…” Fern flung out her hands. Go, she ordered her energy. Find it. She […]
Redbud in Bloom!
Do the redbud trees seem fuller than usual this year? Or is it that we are just ready for spring? I can’t stand how pretty these blossoms are this year–and on my very own tree! We kept a volunteer that sprouted about six years ago and now it’s as tall as the house… and even […]
Unseen Buds…
Our recent rains are ushering in spring, reminding me of this quote:

Book Quote Wednesday ~ #pleasure on 10/28/2020
It’s #BookQW and when Fern is in trouble, it’s Cor’s ‘pleasure’ to help. Again, a #BookQW word that I don’t seem to use much. But this quote in Fern’s point of view in book 2 of my series–Cor’s story!–lets me point out that Fern’s story continues as the friendship between these two develops. More from […]
