The First Accolade

Sheri Wilkerson, who previously reviewed Box of Rain and gave it a five star review, provided the first online response to Cry Baby Cry. She also rated this book five stars on Goodreads, which I hope will tempt other readers to see what it is she liked so much. Thank you, Sheri!

Two Years Later

113,000 words and two years later, The Wizard Within is finally complete. The editing and rewriting and critiquing is done for now and I have turned to the hard part, finding a home for the new born book. This time I am following the traditional publishing footsteps rather…

Guided Spontaneity

My dog Sophie and I really enjoy our morning walks. If it was up to her and I let her do what she wanted she would walk all over the neighborhood for who knows how long and enjoy every single minute of it. With no thought to the fact that she might get lost, or […]

Jinx!

Okay, I may have jinxed myself with my last post. “The words are actually working,” I posted. And: “Wizard is not only going well, but it is still fun!” Fun is relative, I guess. And I am still very excited and hopeful about the Wizard Within. I still believe it has great potential. But three […]

The Wizard Within: Part 1

I did it. Sort of. I finished Part I of my new book, The Wizard Within. I shouldn’t celebrate yet, I suppose, because it’s usually halfway through or thereabouts that gets tough when I’m writing. And since I plan this book to have three parts, I’m really only 1/3 through it. Still, though, 40,000 words […]

The More Things Change

If you are a writer, you know that sometimes the original concept of a story–the original draft even–may often vary considerably from the final product.

Pride

When Lonny moved on, Avril walked over to the mirror on the far wall just to check that the woman hadn’t been making fun of her. Nope. Still fabulous. Still sparkly with the glitter and hairspray she’d spritzed on before leaving the house. With the pre-order for the…

Cat Pee and Deadlines

Jo threw her toothbrush into her makeup bag, the other hand holding the phone to her ear. She tried not to let annoyance get the best of her as she listened to Avril make life more complicated than it needed to be. The bad news: At 5000 words…

The Cheese Stands Alone

Originally posted on Birthing the Next Book:
Like the nursery rhyme game, each Street Story novel stands alone. What does progress throughout the series, though, is Jo growing as a person. Jo’s relationship with Jack is one way to show that growth. Once the two of them were settled, Jo pulled Jack out into the…
