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, […]
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 remembered! Though I hesitated over whether to title this one #9 or #10. 10 won out because I have posted ten excerpts. So here I am: I even signed up early–number 90, right after my friend Eliza Knight. Go see her six, too, and other sixers here: Click!. Or take your tweeting fingers to […]
Well, I’ve forgotten my Six Sentence Sunday again this week, but attending the National Book Festival was an exciting alternative. If you hadn’t seen the advertising, the beautiful poster by Rafael Lopez is terrific. Wildlife reading! Yes! The theme graced the banners and backdrops and gazing at them was definitely a highlight of my day. […]
I totally forgot to sign up for Six Sentence Sunday! I’ve been revising my WIP, working title The Farm, so will offer up six from the opening of this YA steampunk-fantasy mash-up. Polly shook her head and the blond curls she’d pinned high for work danced over the high collar of her candy-striped blouse. But […]
Thanks for visiting my Six Sentence Sunday post! In my YA fantasy romance Seaside Sorcery, the 16 year-old heroine Coral admits to the new boy in town that she duels illegally with the local group when her seafaring family puts to port. But how did she and her siblings learn to duel in this remote […]
I had a fun evening attending the signing of Darkbeast, a middle grade book penned by a fellow Washington Romance Writer. One of the neat things about belonging to local writing chapters in RWA is watching and learning from the other writers. The writing process is so unique for each person and each story. For […]

I’m continuing excerpts from my YA fantasy romance Seaside Sorcery, featuring a hotshot witch’s clashes with the winged wizards of a hidden enclave on the Scottish coast. Coral’s rival Spike is put out by her refusal to set a time to duel him and […]
