Life Cycle of a Novel: Slow and Steady
There are a lot of approaches to writing a rough draft. Some do it in spurts, writing tends of thousands of words in a few days. I’m more of a slow and steady kind of writer. I set measured weekly goals that I break down into daily goals — although if I’m on a roll […]
Touch of Fate FREE This Week
Touch of Fate was my debut novel, first published in 2006, a story of suspense about a woman who can predict the future but who cannot change the things she sees.

The Life Cycle of a Novel: The First Doubt
Ah, and it doesn’t take long, does it? No sooner do words begin to intrude upon the perfection of the blank slate than the first doubt creeps in. Possibility turns to reality, and the reality never truly lives up to the dream. The first doubts are niggling, tearing at my confidence and trying to convince […]
