My Experience Getting Witch with It in Salem, MA

It’s hard to come down from the emotional high of an author signing event. Especially, when that event is held in a historic area and there is so much to see and do before I had to fly my broom back to Seattle.  TL;DR: The author signing event was fabulous. (Now you can scroll down[…]

Something Borrowed Something Bewitched

Three men gathered at the edge of the woods, to test their magical mettle. The first, wore a chainmail hauberk and a sword on his back. He was taller, burlier, and spat a lot more than the others. His face told a tale of a life of violence. Some brawls he might have even won. 

Mistakes Were Made

Mistakes were made.

I’ve seen so many of these baking sheet tartlets that I was fully confident I could make one with no recipe. This is how I go into any new endeavor. Headfirst, full of confidence from past experiences of doing other things well, and directly plant my face into a wall.

Midlife Olympians Meet the Characters:Hermes

Excerpt from Westside Harpy: The flames doused until only a very pissed off Hermes in full, golden armor, wings spread, and a sword covered in gore remained.

First Full Chapter of Westside Harpy: A paranormal Women’s fiction (Midlife Olympians #2)

Nothing like waking up to a good cup of coffee and a nightmare. A spider the size of a corgi skittered in my direction across the linoleum of the kitchen floor. A few weeks ago, I would’ve screamed bloody murder at the sight of the creature.

How a Trip to Greece inspired a Paranormal women’s Fantasy Series

Research for Westside Oracle book #1 in the Midlife Olympians series started in Greece and ended in the Olympic Mountains of Washington.
