I am a mother of four, grandmother of two, surrogate of two dogs, three cats and throw in a few fish. When I am not writing I am... spending time with my family; figure skating; riding my bike (the peddling kind); being a "crazy camera lady" taking pictures of my beloved Gettysburg Battlefields; struggling with my alphabet issues of TBI, OCD, PTSD and ADD! Though very often frustrated by my disabilities, I strive everyday to better myself and the world around me.
I am so happy that amazon is now offering the Summer Ray books in hardcover. It has motivated me to get the 7th volume finally finished. This is an important issue for any producer or investor to know how the story ends, or if there can be a spin off. So, my goal is to … More “PERSEVERANCE ACCOMPLISHED…!”
I hope all of you who celebrated Thanksgiving had a wonderful day. Covid messed up my plans as I came down with almost two weeks earlier. I did manage to get out, and go for a brisk hike around Big Round Top. Every Thanksgiving, I come here and hike. This is where the story of … More STOOD THE TEST OF TIME!
Got to love 2021! Okay, well sort of…not really? The vaccines I got in March, it took four months for me to get over. Then in the midst of that mess, I broke my left wrist in four places; then broke a rib; then got Covid. At this point, it is almost laughable! But some … More ONWARD TO 2022!
My goal for Summer Ray is to “Light the World,” by spreading the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ. But the story of Summer Ray woven into the pilot, “A Redemption in Time,” is not a Christian film. Christians watch Christian films more than those in the secular world. Our goal as previously stated, … More GOING GLOBAL!
In going through my websites, it is clear everything is outdated. It is defined as, “no longer current; obsolete; old fashioned,” or just old. LOL! But seriously, everything is so fast paced including technology. It took me like five years to learn how to use an android from a flip phone. My websites, including this … More THE WHOLE PICTURE!
Sometimes I have to skate alone if my coach can’t make it. Regardless, it is still up to me to do the work. This is part of the opening moves and I absolutely know that Jazzercise is helping me. I also power walk cross country, take dance when I can especially ballet. It is all … More FIGURE SKATING – NOVEMBER 12, 2021
I look back on 2021, and Wow! We have truly been blessed. Although we didn’t make it in to two film festivals, we did get in to two other ones, with more on the way quite possibly this year. The Content21 Film Festival that my script was nominated for, “Best Feature Screenplay, ” opened up … More THIS TIME NEXT YEAR!
What comes to my mind with all of this is, commitment. It is defined as “the state or quality of being dedicated to a cause, activity, etc.” I love the definition of dedicated, “devoted to a task or purpose; having single-minded loyalty or integrity.” It is for certain, I am devoted to Summer Ray and … More FIGURE SKATING – NOVEMBER 05, 2021
Lunges are rough especially since I haven’t done them in so long. But with the extra muscle weight on my thighs, I need to get more flexible. I am also taking Jazzercise classes at Gettysburg https://www.jazzercise.com/location/jazzercise-battlefield-incentives and it is helping tremendously. The owner Tina, is amazing! Okay, so after a few tries, I was able … More FIGURE SKATING – OCTOBER 29, 2021
The picture above is the beginning of Summer Ray’s 1980’s patch quilt, and will be seen in the pilot. But in order for it to look like a beautiful blanket, it first looked like this below, a huge mess! I am using up all of my old scraps, and skeins of yarn. I have more … More THE FINISHED AND BEAUTIFUL SCENES!
