Hey guys, As authors, it’s so imperative that we create real, believable, and individual worlds for our fictional characters to live in–after all, they can’t actually coexist with us in the real world; without this layer of authenticity, of intimate awareness, a story can easily become one-dimensional, uninspiring, or even…dare I say it, boring? It’s not just that, either. You want a place for your readers to go, as well. When they read your words, you want their imagination to take them on a trip–to the city, the town, the store, the house, etc. that you created. You want them to not just read the words you’ve written, but to…

I truly can’t believe it was one year ago today, when it all started–the newest adventure in my writing journey. I’ve learned so much, grown so much, and I’m ready to take on even more this year! My theme for 2017: New Beginnings My 2018 theme: FEARLESS

We’ve all been there–when the writing gets sticky, when our imaginations seems to sputter to a halt and we don’t know where to take the rest of the scene, how to get the characters talking again…when the plot seems cliched and tired. Ugh. It’s pretty much the worst for a writer. That’s why I’ve put together this video, which highlights a couple of exercises I like to use when the writing gets tough. These exercises help to pump the well–to get my creative juices flowing again, to redirect my focus, free my thoughts, and most importantly: to keep me writing. Watch it. Tell me what you think.

Hi everyone! I’m so excited–on Friday, November 10th I will be releasing my second novel, Twenty-Seven Tiered Almond Cake. Want to know what it’s all about? Watch the video…or read the book blurb, located at the bottom of this post. Or better yet, do both! 🙂 BOOK BLURB:  Charlie does not want to plan her sister’s wedding. Erin is flakey, flighty. Irresponsible. And her upcoming marriage is proving no different. It reads like the playbill to a comedy of errors: the groom—what’s his name again?—is currently, mysteriously incarcerated; the bride is MIA; but don’t dare mention postponing the stupid thing; that would be scandalous. Worse, in an industry that booked…
