About
I’m usually found with a book in my hands. I discovered my love of reading early in life, my first true adventure in reading was The Secret Garden. My husband believes I have read more books then anyone he knows.
At the age of nine I entered a writing contest in my fourth grade class and won! I was so very excited. My teacher told me I would be a great writer.
As an older teen I traveled and wrote poetry of all my adventures and wonderful captures of the times I was living in and the people I met along the way.
I started Pull of the Sister Moon as a Novella about 20 years ago and since then, been adding and subtracting, advancing the words into a magical adventure.

Somewhere along the way, I started keeping notes about the process. Those notes eventually became something I never expected: a publishing journal. Over the years, as I moved from...

Trusting the Reader: Showing Instead of Telling
One of the hardest habits to break as a writer is the urge to explain too much after a scene has already done the work for us. I still catch myself doing it, especially while drafting historical fiction where atmosphere and emotional restraint matter so much. Often, the strongest version of a scene is the one that trusts the reader to feel what’s happening without being told exactly what to think about it. While revising my current novel set in 1925 New England, I found several places where I...
