Most of my post are about writing but close to 2 years ago, my mare tore a suspensory ligament & needed surgery. I wasn't able to ride for almost a year. Got to get back on in March 2025.

This video is from yesterday. I am so pleased with how she's progressing.

Up to 15K words in my new rough draft. Things are coming together & I have thread of scenes to follow. I've also finally managed to make some of my world building notes fit into some sensible format instead of the random pile of ideas.

Going to be honest, I haven't done much "writing" lately but I have made huge progress in getting my world building notes cleaned up & organized. Now they make sense & I feel like I can get back to writing my WIP & not second guess myself on some of the details.

Got to review my short story, Gangsta Godmother, which will appear in the upcoming Nefarious anthology from Duskbound Books. (probably in January). Had a few minor edits but otherwise, looking good!

I know I mentioned in another post that I'd lost a friend to breast cancer. She was also part of my review squad -- a group of friends who will look at my rough drafts & beat them with a big stick.

I decided to talk about that -- and her -- in my new blog post: www.redfoxwriter.com/post/farewel...
Farewell to a friend
This blog post isn't really about writing. Well, it is and it isn't.Just over one week ago, a very close friend of mine -- Maureen -- died from breast cancer. We knew it was coming. When she was diagn...

I lost a very close friend to breast cancer yesterday. We're going to miss her terribly. She had a big personality that could fill the room. She was far, far too young to have to leave this world.

Finally feel like I've hit my stride on my WIP. Up to about 7K words now. It started to come together when I made some changes to my main character. Onward and upward!

I shared this when they were looking for submissions & I'm happy to report that my short story, "Gangsta Godmother" will be part of the Nefarious Anthology.

Looking like a mid-Jan 2026 release, but something to look forward to in the new year.

Okay, nothing to do with writing but they are pretty darn cute.

UPDATE! 🌹🎉

I realize not many people have access to much right now, so I put the eBook version of Beyond The Mark down to the lowest I could on Amazon, which is $0.99

Hope this helps it become more accessible, I'd rather continue the story than make money, so I hope you enjoy!

Lauren Stone always regretted the way things ended with Danny. Years later, they cross paths again while Lauren is in town recording a new album. Is a second chance worth the risk? Or is Lauren just playing with fire?

Mara's hell bent on being Hell's #1 Sales & Acquisitions agent. The last thing she needs is a fling with an angel, but temptation proves too much to resist. But when her biggest rival in Hell gets wind of it, all bets are off... and all Hell just might break loose.

Haven't done much writing, sadly. Being actual responsible adult has taken up far too much of my time. But there were some highlights - like my cousin's wedding in Traverse City, MI. This picture is sunrise on Grand Traverse Bay.
