  • Why I Read (and Write) YA Fiction

    Earlier this week I was conversing with a good friend, another author, who commented that she had difficulty reading YA Fiction.  Her life has long since moved past the phase of first relationships, snotty teen rivalries, and other issues our kids deal with.  I, on the other hand, love young adult fiction.  I just “get…

  • Testing Mom’s Good Humor

    I like to think I have a sense of humor.  I’m good at playing pranks on others, and I’m usually good at being on the receiving end.  Usually.  Last night, my sense of humor was greatly challenged. My 19 year old daughter is a freshman in college some three hours away.  As most parents do,…

  • I Will Never Forget!

    Today marks the 20th anniversary of a day I will never forget.  At 9:02 a.m. on April 19, 1995, Timothy McVeigh parked a Ryder truck in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building and detonated what equated to 5,000 pounds of explosives.  In the end, 168 combined adults and children were killed that day.  All…

  • National Library Week

    Okay, I admit.  I’m a procrastinator!  It’s National Library Week and I’m three days late to the celebration.  Cut me some slack…I’ve been busy! Is there anything better in this whole world than a library?  It doesn’t seem to matter whether they’re big or small, libraries provide an invaluable service to the community.  I’ve used…

  • To Each His Own

    Here’s a truth about me:  I’m a prolific reader.  I will read anything, with the possible exception of science fiction; and then I could probably be talked into it if someone strongly recommend it.  I read anything. For years, I refused to leave a book unfinished.  If I started a book, I was committed to…

  • Book Review – “The Good Girl”

    My favorite thing in the world is a book that grabs me by the throat in the first few pages and hangs on for the full ride, all the way until the last page.  A lot of authors attempt to do this, but few actually succeed.  Mary Kubica is the exception.  From the first few…

  • Querying: Those Danged Rejections!

    As an artist — whether that be a writer, painter, or even a musician — I don’t think there’s anything harder than the process of asking for “approval” from an agent.  And, really, that’s what the querying process is; it’s submitting your hard work to a select group of people and asking them to like it.   When…

  • Querying – The Waiting Game

    I’m an impatient person.  I admit it.  I’ve always been like this.  I want results and I want them now.  So the querying for an agent process has been rather frustrating for me.  It’s a waiting game; the game nobody really likes to play. Here’s the conundrum:  You send out a bunch of queries to…

  • Querying: Blind Dating for an Agent

    After years and years of people suggesting I write a book, I finally sat down to the computer and followed through.  Not just once, but twice.  Yes, I’ve written two novels.  The first is a work of historical fiction based loosely upon my grandmother’s life.  The second is a work of young adult fiction about…
