What Do You Like to Pay?
If you follow me on social media, you know last week was a very strange one for me. I spent a day getting my manuscript ready for uploading to Kindle. The cover always gives me fits, but I finally got it in there. It’s on their website is “preorder” status. That means you can buy […]
It’s Not Finished Yet
Three weeks ago, I told you my new book, Walkers on Water, was finished. I should have been more specific. The interior of the book was finished. During the past three weeks, I’ve formatted the interior, waited on the cover designer to finalize the covers, and, worst of all, I loaded everything onto different platforms […]
It’s Done!
I finally finished the next book, as long as I don’t open it again. Every time I look at it, I change or rearrange something. Like other authors, it’s hard to let go of it. I keep thinking of things to include or reword. I’m so tired of reading it. This makes about nine times […]
I Made the Leap
A poet friend from home called the other day. We had a great conversation about what we were doing. One of the topics of our visit reminded me of a strange message that came to me when I was still wondering whether becoming a writer was even possible. I had so many doubts. It seemed […]

An Old Journal
Hubby and I want to pare down our junk and get rid of things. Like most people our age, we have too much stuff we’ve collected over the years that means nothing to anyone but us. Some of it means nothing to us, we’ve just forgotten we still have it. I went through an old […]
Another Busy Time
This past week and a half have been a whirlwind of activities that kept me running (figuratively, not literally). I said yes too many times and paid for it. The South Dakota Festival of Books is a very large event where over a hundred writers from all over are invited to speak and sell their […]
