I’d like to start this post by saying Thank You to my readers! After the release of Seven Oars, I received so many heart-warming messages that it truly made my day (my month, rather). I like to say I write for myself, but you can’t imagine the motivational difference your comments make. A few ofContinue reading “October Post”

Seven Oars Release Date
It’s really happening! We have a release date — September 4th! Pre-orders are now open on Amazon. This is a story about Rosamma, an ordinary woman with extraordinary resilience.

Author Update April 2025

I don’t think I’ve posted anything from my current work in progress, Rix Universe Book 3. I call it Seven Oars but the title may change.

April Rambles
Hello and how has everyone been doing? Are spring allergies getting to you yet? It’s a beautiful season, but goodness I hate it because it causes me so much misery. Yes, yes, I do take antihistamines to function, but that’s not how it should be, right? 🤧 It’s been a while since I posted, mainlyContinue reading “April Rambles”
