Creative people are messy. I’ve heard this more times than I can count. I’ve seen posts on FB and memes on Instagram stating if you’re house is clean, you’re not enjoying life. I’m here to tell you this is not true. But, you knew that, right? You don’t believe everything you read on the Internet. …
A couple years ago I started a Facebook group called A Hodgepodge of Sagging Bottoms. I can’t take credit for the name; that clever quip for our backsides is thanks to my friend Rebecca (who isn’t on FB anymore).

On November 21st I wrote “THE END” on my National Novel Writing Month 2015 project. This novel is one I’ve had on my mind for at least a year and I can’t believe I’m done! I’m anxious to dive into revisions and I want to publish the book in 2016. With the Pastime Pursuits series, …
Today is Thanksgiving in the United States. I want to quickly thank my readers and wish you all a great holiday. I’ll be at my mom’s house for some turkey and family time. In the evening, my husband will be watching the football game — Packers V. Bears. This leads me into the teaser I …
