She is an amazing audio book narrator! She has done several books, her voice is perfect. I sent her a little snippet or “nibblet” she calls them for my third book it’s not a spoiler in any way, tells a complete story its about the twins grandparent’s Albert and Judy Smith. I’ll post the linkContinue reading “Check out Nancy Peterson!!”

Hello! I am going to try and be better at this. I spend way too much time on tik tok. I call it my marketing department 😆 so if you like romance, nurse jokes, and a crazy person pretending to be fictional people in her own fictional world, I’m your gal. I also want toContinue reading “Hello Again!”

Hello! Happy 2023! A lot of news and things happened to me the last year, some good and and some tragic but that’s life. You wouldn’t know what good is without the bad, right? Without anything to compare it to, everyday life would be very mundane. Well. even more than it can be already. I’llContinue reading “Release Date!”

I apologize for not being more consistent with my blog, since somebody broke our desktop screen by hitting it with a toy, and I had to disable the touch screen in order to use the computer. at least it still works, there is huge black line from top to bottom and the bottom is twitchyContinue reading “Book Cover!”

These are the last two main characters, Anne and William Eliott. Their story is the main focus of the third book, its called Better Off Now. I was trying to find excerpts that summed them up without spoiling anything since most of their story is spoilers for the first two. So I figure the firstContinue reading “More Character Shorts”

This character blog focuses on Margaret and John, the twins’ parents. I’m doing these two together because this is one of my favorite scenes with them and they are 18 at the moment. All 3 books start with the characters the same age to see how they get from point A to point B andContinue reading “Another Character Short”

I got my manuscript back from the editor and now its time for proofreading! That was a long stressful journey, I’d rather go to nursing school all over again. I first sent it to the editor in April and after a rocky start, I’d like to say it got easier, but it really didn’t, justContinue reading “Final Edits”

I’m going to share little non spoiler bits of each book, a quote that I think sums up each person, and maybe a whole scene or two. I was sharing my characters on Tik Tok but hard to describe a video to a blog, haha. Sharon (the books are multiple POV’s in first person soContinue reading “Small Samples of each book here”

I’ve been wanting to come on here and write a blog post but something always happens that sucks me away from the keyboard. Most recently it was a slight mishap with our kitchen ceiling. Its falling. Water damage. So as chunks of what I guess is sheet rock as well as the tiles from theContinue reading “Needing to write a blog post, lol”

I finally found all the letters to the keyboard, except the function button. My kids made it their very fun hobby to pluck out letters and lose them everywhere. I bought a silicone one, the fourth keyboard I’ve had to buy this year, (the first 2 were drowned, this one was dismembered.) As soon asContinue reading “Book news, and a small Eureka moment”
