Writer of historical and contemporary novels; I enjoy exploring the lives of characters who are stuck in some way and struggling to move past that.
Also a professional editor, amateur gardener, knitter, wife and dog mom. COVID cautious.

All my life I’ve wanted to be a writer. Sometimes it feels like a character walks up to me and says, “Tell my story or I will die.” And how can I refuse a plea like that?

I’m posting this because we all need beauty right now and because sometimes a long wait is worth it. I waited 2-3 years to buy these because they were expensive. Then after I ordered and planted them, I had to wait two years to see this.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!"
And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

When I was 7 or 8, my family gave me a white bunny for Easter. As we watched it hop around, the dog began growling. She wouldn’t stop, so we put her outside. Instantly, the family cat streaked out and killed the rabbit. My family was like the “own the libs” crowd, laser focused on the wrong danger.

Grounding to reconnect with Earth’s electrical field. I look forward to this every spring. It always makes me feel so much more balanced.
