Just when I want to quit #writing & find a saner occupation, I found out my #horror novella “Sugar Cake Lady” is out on Barnes & Noble!

Blows my mind that I went from blogging about dance music to this 😀

Inspires me to keep up the good fight ✊🏾✨

So true ✨
Remember the countless beautiful and loving things that happen every day that never get reported.

Bad news events aren't the only reality. We can pay attention without having our vision skewed to seeing only the negative.

Paula's an award-winning author, but she's also a teacher, so if you're looking for a teacher to review your work, Paula can help with that.

(We've interviewed other authors who are teachers, but Paula's the only one we know offering this help. If you others do too, let us know and we'll repost!)

Delores and Debbie also do developmental edits. My second draft needs a lot of work, but I’m confident they’ll get me together. Their rates are astronomical though, so you’ll likely want to book me instead.
