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.
Wow! It has been over a month since my last blog. Yikes! But, I have been very busy with Summer Ray and other author stuff too. Plus, skating has picked up on the training and I have been tired. But, back to it. I have been lacking in the marketing part of all of this. … More DO IT RIGHT!

I have photographed this same place and walked it during … More THE BEAUTY OF FALL!
Blank page…blank canvas. What do you do when all your thoughts, and ideas and the next step is blank. You don’t know what to do, so you just sit there unmotivated and quite possibly depressed. Let me tell you, in this business, there is always something you can do. I have devoured so much information … More TYING UP THE LOOSE ENDS!
