I’m not sure, but I always know it when I see the new era glistening up ahead. We have been water skiing since 1983. I’m talking slalom, not wake boarding. My husband competed in slalom with speeds up to 34 and stretching out with only one hand on the rope handle as he cut through…
Actually, there isn’t anything strange about weather. We can have rain, snow, clouds, sunny skies, cold and warmth with the option to combine as nature and climate see best. But we look at weather like it is something strange. Wow, look at those clouds coming in? Hey, I think it’s raining! Did you see how…
I have a plan and ten weeks stretching out before me waiting to be filled. It’s a simple plan. Revise some books. Approve a final edit (or two) Write another Solstice Dragon World novel.

I was busy writing Book 3 of the Kavin Cut Chronicles, and these two characters joined the cast. They were so intriguing. One had been a minor character, a brief walk-on, but he left such a strong impression, I wondered if he would be back. Lord Laurents was a charming, elderly fellow with a perpetual…
I read quite a bit, often following several series at once. I’ve been keeping up with four separate series whose writers have been kind enough to be on quite fast release schedules.
