A belated Happy Valentine’s Day for all of those romantics out there!  I wish that I could write a lovely romantic novel.  Apparently, there is a part of me that likes to write about the dark side of things and a light social-teaching side for children’s books.  It’s a good balance for me, and IContinue reading “Not in the Cards”

It was such a thrill for me to receive notice of being a finalist in the Indie Excellence Book Awards.  After several years of feverishly writing novels and children’s books, I had been encouraged to enter a few contests.  Whether I’m winning or I’m just in the running, it was wonderful for my book, Restitution, to beContinue reading “Finalist in Indie Excellence Book Award”
