My Brand

I just read an article about branding- what is at the heart of your writing, that got me to thinking. If I look at some of my latest writings I think I would say: My Brand- Family Seasons is about a family and how their faith grows through their trials and struggles throughout the generationsContinue reading “My Brand”

Be like the Daffodils

A friend posted about her daffodils today and that got me to thinking. Years ago, when we first bought our house the people before us had planted daffodils. I tried many things to get rid of them when they started to overrun the steps down to the driveway. I dug them up, threw them inContinue reading “Be like the Daffodils”

Geosemiotics and Covid-19

I’ve been thinking a lot about Place and Space and our interactions with things and others now that we have been told to self-isolate as much as possible.

Apparently two of my characters had their ownContinue reading “Characters taking control of the plot and sexual tension in historical inspiration novels- can it happen?”

Unearthing old manuscripts and bringing them to life

Last year my older son mentioned he had been telling his daughter about my children’s books I had written, drawn and made for him and his brother when they were little. I was surprised he remembered and it touched my heart. This fall I decided to look for the manuscripts (I found one finished, theContinue reading “Unearthing old manuscripts and bringing them to life”

Random thoughts on my November & December writing

Well, I started out thinking I’d get a lot of my fourth section of my novel done. I’ve gotten at least half of it done, changed the title a little (it’s now Matty’s Autumn instead of Summer) and have an idea of the direction I am going to take with the last section of theContinue reading “Random thoughts on my November & December writing”

NaNoWriMo is coming!

I am hoping I can use their calendar to write the fourth season- Matty’s Summer this November!

Another blessing!

I just got an order for 100 books I wrote- Teaching English Learners- Cultural Implications, Communications, Connections, and Curriculum. I am so glad I made revisions earlier this year! Guess it helps to work ahead. This is a nudge to get busy on my other manuscripts. What do you think?
