Spring Update
Greeting, all! It’s been a while since you’ve had news from me, so I thought I would check in. Life has been busy – spring has sprung, lawn maintenance has begun, new babies have arrived… I hope your 2019 has been as full as mine! My Tip of the Spear series is complete and books 2-6 are back to their...
Major Life Changes
Haven’t I made enough major life changes this year? Apparently not… I started this year with plans to leave full-time employment and part-time writing for no outside employment and full-time writing. So far it’s going great! My commute has gone from an hour or more each way, to about fifteen steps across the hall. So I figured I needed to...
It takes a village…
Well, Katie Freeman #5 is in the hands of my beta-readers! Yay! I spent the weekend taking a break and having a little fun. While they were doing the hard work, I was splashing in the pool with my nieces and nephews – they had the tough job of reading about Katie Freeman’s latest case and giving feedback. Beta readers...
Self-care
I’ve had a rough two weeks. I’m sure all of you all can relate – more to be done than there are hours in the day? My pay-the-bills job has been over-the-top for the past few weeks – I hired two new employees who report directly to me, so I have to train them. We had a board meeting and...
Cover Art
Who knew the process of publishing a book was so involved? When I started this dream, I thought, “Hmmm, I’ll just write and put it out there.” Wow, was that ever wrong! There’s writing, revising, editing, sending it to beta readers and an editor…and that’s just the book. Then there’s the website, social media, and book covers. Whew, it can...
Three Years and Counting…
My friend, Michelle, and I sat down three years ago and had a conversation about where we wanted to go with our careers. Both of us were in jobs that didn’t really call to us. They paid the bills and paid the bills and provided health benefits – you know, the things people want and need to feel secure. But...
Sicker than a Dog…
Ever wonder where certain phrases come from? I often wonder this, and this past week I’ve had more time than normal to think of such random things. I’ve been down with Strep throat and a sinus infection and had to take a few days off from my day job. It’s rare that I get sick, but when I do, it...

For all of you who have followed this series from the beginning, get ready to find out what happened to Charlene Stephens. You first met Charlene in the prologue of Free to Kill, book one.

Sneak Peek: Free to Live
It’s almost time for Katie Freeman #3! Only two more weeks. I’ve had so much fun writing this one. This past week has been a busy one for me, so instead of blathering on in this blog post, I thought I’d share a little sneak peek of Free to Live. Here you go… Enjoy! Free to Live It was the...
