#WordWeavers: What’s one thing you hope readers remember long after they finish reading your story?
For my Finding Humanity series, I hope they remember the characters, but also maybe became aware of something new in their lives or our society.
For Werewolves, Chocolate, & Pigeons, I hope they remember how magical any community can become by all looking out for each other.

1. What is something your MC desperately wants but would never admit to wanting?
2. What would your MC notice first upon entering a crowded room?
3.Share a line from your WIP that reveals more than the speaker intended.
4. What seemingly insignificant object in your story carries a lot of emotional weight?
5. If your antagonist could justify their actions in one sentence, what would they say?
6. What is your MC hilariously bad at?

#WordWeavers: What’s one question you’re still trying to answer about your story?
Only one?😂 My characters keep a lot of secrets and often surprise me.
In my WIP Werewolves, Chocolate, & Pigeons, the MC’s best friend Wendy has a line of dialogue that shows I’ve clearly underestimated this chaotic but fun SC. I understand what she’s saying but she clearly has unknown-to-me secrets to be able to say that line.👀😂

I’ve had aloe plants most of my life and never seen a bloom. This is beautiful!

💫Great Holiday Gift for Teens!💫
Bleu only wanted to save his sick sister. Instead, he ended up making first contact.
Paperbacks available through Barnes & Noble, Amazon, or by ordering at your local Indie bookstore. Ebooks available pretty much everywhere online.

#ChristmasCats 2025 has started!
Enjoy pictures of my cats being little moths, drawn to the high altitude sparkly lights. 😊
(BTW, they have never knocked down or destroyed a tree.)

#WordWeavers: What would your first chapter smell like?
The first chapter of The Ruined would smell like wood smoke, burnt stew, and a “new helicopter” smell.

Sorry. Most of my family is in that category as well, so I get it. Sucks.💜

I’ve heard D2D (Draft2Digital) now has a paperback version that is comparable to zon cost-wise and wide. I’ve used IngramSpark, but they’re a bit awkward with upload. They print the best, though. Colors are gorgeous.

I felt like toast.😂 I do NOT like the heat, lol.

I couldn’t figure out why it was so hot in our house. Then I noticed this Mr. Innocent sitting next to the thermostat. He somehow raised it to 90 degrees Fahrenheit!!!

I started writing The Calling at the original heyday of dystopian literature (2011), and specifically wrote it to seem in the beginning like a “Dystopian, chosen one” trope that later gets usurped to “Hopepunk, no chosen one, everyone is responsible,” … 1/2

…because I felt we all needed new stories where each of us can affect things and make a difference, where society CAN change to overcome violence, & we CAN live in harmony with our planet. It’s multiple POV because the real MC is all of humanity.
