Happy 2023, friends! I am alive! Reports of my untimely demise were greatly exaggerated. Although, a part of me has been put to rest ever since I had my baby girl last May. Okay, I swear I’m not being melodramatic (no more than usual). Let me explain.
Happy Holidays, friends! I hope everyone has enjoyed their time with family, and recharging as we gear up for 2023. In the grand scheme of things, I'm aware the new year is just another day. But I like traditions, and I love lists and making goals. I like the idea of a fresh start and... Continue Reading →
If you follow my witterings, you've probably heard me talk about the choices we make. It follows the same vein as how you make a daily habit. You put in the minutes, the time to literally do.

How many of you have kept up with your 2022 Goodreads Reading Challenge? At the beginning of the year (before I had a newborn) I aimed for the lofty goal of 80 books. Yep! You read that right, folks. Needless to say, I cut that number in half recently. Because while I started out strong,... Continue Reading →
Dalriada Valley is finally LIVE! Well it's official, folks! I've published yet another sequel in the Borderlands Saga today. I should preface by saying it's a miriacle this book came to life. Two years ago, I honestly believed I would need to say goodbye to publishing altogether. Once again, I'm publishing with very little fanfare. While... Continue Reading →
