Blog postI'm in the midst of writing a book in a series that takes a lot of thinking time. The word "Time" is key here because the main character is a time traveler and her antics in the 1850's are so out of sequence that she makes assumptions and declarations all over the place, thinking she knows the end game.
It's confusing, but very fun. And, I'm told that the series is great fun to read.
It was originally written as a TV pilot script. From that, I wrote the first book. T -
Blog postAdmittedly, I only caught parts of the Oscars last night but that was enough to have a few opinions.
1. Joaquin Phoenix's speech was too long and I'm now using almond milk for my coffee.
2. If Jane Fonda is against ageism in Hollywood, why does her face look so different, like it's been stretched and the woman wearing the grey hair and sustainable jewelry barely resembles her?
3. Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig should host the Oscars next year.
4. I love Eminem but w -
Blog postI write a fun little series called Moody & The Ghost about a paranormal investigator who's lost her mojo (clairvoyance) after a car accident that also takes her eyesight, and her husband's life.
OK, so far this doesn't sound fun, right? But the story picks up right when she inherits a house on the stormy Oregon coast and things start to happen to give her hope.
Bryndle Moody has led a colorful life as her grifter mother's cash cow, doing ghost readings for money since she -

Blog postFor some, winter is upon us with snow, Christmas decorations, gift shopping and more.
If you're like me (Last minute Lulu) the only thing Christmasy around here is my reading material. I love to read holiday Feel-Good books at this time of year.
Christmas is a time when goodwill is alive and kicking more so than any other time of year and I like to revel in that. So many women (and maybe men?) love watching Hallmark movies and this year that network started earlier than ever with mor -
Blog postWe made it to #88 of the top 150 books in the Nation last week, according to the USA Today Bestseller List.
Many authors have sought this title in the last few years with a targeted campaign to sell a ton of books in one week through the specific retailers that report to the publication. I once turned up my nose at the authors who banded together in box sets to offer their 10 book sets at 99 cents to cash in on this phenomena of making the USA Today Bestseller List with a deal most romance -

Blog postDo you love this time of year? Do you like spooky but not too scary? Me too.
I write somewhat spooky stories but am always aghast to be clumped with Stephen King on book lists. No horror here. No gore. No ghoulish stuff. Just some ghostly action and suspense.
I have a number of books that are perfect for reading at Halloween time.
ROCKY BLUFF is a Maui Murder Mystery that takes place over October leading up to Halloween and is set during the ROCKY HORROR SHOW at M -
Blog postLife is tough, my mother always said, optimist that she was.
In these days of strangeness and worry, we need entertainment.
Badly.
For this reason, I keep on writing Christmas romances. Christmas embodies a simpler time when the world is at peace, when we focus on love rather than hate and when we get to let go of our worries and get back to remembering the good times.
I have several Christmas Romances novellas for sale at etailer book stores like Amazon, No -

It's true there's a FREE COOKBOOK now on several ebook sites that I compiled in an effort to draw attention to our 10-Book Box Set - CHRISTMAS AT MISTLETOE LODGE.

Blog postHollywood loves book adaptations. And Hollywood loves unique storylines.
Do you have a story that would translate well to the screen?
Myth #1: You have to be a screenwriter to pitch to film people. Not true!
Producers are open to authors pitching books. They know screenwriters who can adapt your amazing book to a screenplay if you haven't already. You do need to have a story that speaks to the producer as the wheels turn in their heads imagining if they -

Blog postThis is me. Right here, at the table. Look how focused I am!
I'm not sure if I'll be up for an Emmy Award next year, this time, but my acting skills look amazing in this TV movie, from what I've seen, which is only this photo.
The Producers
In early June 2019, I drove all the way across the state of Washington to be an extra in a movie by two women producers. One is JD, my agent/literary manager and the cracker jack who sold my Christmas Romance screenplay recently to a -
Blog postBook covers are super-duper important to authors' sales! A great book cover leads to the person reading the blurb. A great blurb leads to... You get the picture.
My Dream Jumper Series was first published in 2013 with a cover I made myself. I didn't have the extra money to commission a cover artist for $150, so I made my own. Looking back, it was a DIY rinky dinker.
I fiddled with probably ten different versions of that photo of the two holding hands on a beach, then fi -

Blog postTonight, I launch Book 4 in a fun series, Moody & The Ghost. It's about a blind paranormal investigator who can see in the presence of the ghost of a Spanish Sea Captain from the 1850's.
It's a love story entwined in supernatural occurrences, set among smuggling practices back then.
My readers love it and I wish I had tons of money to promote the series because I think women (and maybe men) need light-hearted, fun entertainment that challenges their minds.

Blog postAre you an author or a reader?
Authors, do you take promo materials to conferences or book signings to give out and if so, what?
Readers, what do you like to secure at a reader conference?
I once made 400 DREAM necklaces to put in registration bags for the writers at a conference I attended. Sometimes I have book marks. I've used pens, recipe cards, even little chocolates with the book cover on the packaging. Who knows if anyone sees the promo and goes to the site to buy -

Blog postYears ago, I taught my first workshop at the Emerald City Writers' Conference in Seattle on exuding self-confidence.
Thing was, that day I didn't feel as confident as I wanted to and had to rely on my own tricks to appear confident.

As I gazed out on the audience of attendees who came to ‘Channeling Your Inner Rock Star’ and I cautioned my listeners how to avoid reading the audience too closely, I reali -

DEAD AHEAD

Five months ago, I was perfectly capable of more than descending a staircase on my own. I often took two stairs at a time.
These days, I must be helped down stairs by my younger cousin, Eve. Being dependent on someone else 24/7 was on my This Totally Suck -
Blog postToday I leave Puerto Vallarta Mexico, a place I've been to many times, a place where I met my darling husband, a place that is different enough to be a foreign country but holds familiarity and safety for me.
It's been an incredible trip of touring around, checking out coastal towns, visiting my husband's friends from back in the day and eating amazing food.
Yesterday we traveled away from the coast, following a river, through tiny villages and up into the mountains to a place -

Blog postThe view north of MarinaDay 2 in Mexico involved driving north from Puerto Vallarta to check out the towns along the coast. After a large Mexican breakfast made by Rosario at our friend's penthouse, (papaya, refrieds, eggs and banana) we took off in our rental Hyundai and joined the long line of traffic heading north, cutting through the mountains to get north quickly. Our plan was to work our way south.
We are big fans of the HGTV show Mexico Life and hope one day to own a place in -
Blog postOur friend's balconyI'm in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and feeling like I won the lottery.
I know I just got back from Maui and if I could have spaced out these amazing vacations with a few months, I would have gone to Maui in November or early January but...
My husband has business here and I decided to tag along. I think my exact words were "You're not going to Puerto Vallarta without me."
There's my plane out there

Blog postYesterday was Leave Maui Day but not until eleven p.m. so I had the whole day to think about making my flight and whether I packed everything. On the day you leave a vacation, you wake up partly gone. It's a strange day.
I leave clothes and shoes and toiletries on Maui at Lynn's house so after sorting out what needed to bring home, and throwing my sheets in the laundry, I jumped in the car and went up to Kapalua Bay for a snorkel. I have good parking Karma, wherever I go, which mean -
Blog postNo morning showers here!
Solar panels on the Maui house need a few hours to warm up the water so the first few hours of my days on Maui are spent drinking coffee in PJ's, writing and whale watching.
Every morning, humpback whales jump off shore in exactly the same spot between two palm trees in my field of vision. Not sure why but I can look to the right down the coast and see nothing, yet almost every twenty minutes there's big breaches out of the water between those trees. <
