Ask and you shall receive! But it took me two weeks to drum up the nerve to ask her. I'm so glad I did. I tried to talk myself out of it. She is so busy with being a newlywed, new mom, new book out, new … But I did ask her. This is what she sent: “A...

I love ‘I didn't quit' stories. As my son, Jeremy says, “Keep on pushing.” When you have a gift, you have to do it. Whether it is drawing motorcycles like my son, or writing books like me, or going to school, or working at a job that you know you are...

My editor recommended setting up a timeline for the current fiction I'm editing. The story line was really messed up. I had the scene where Mr. Main Character shot the guy before the scene where he chose the gun! (Maybe not that bad but just about!) So I made this...

I don't do New Year resolutions, but I love getting my journal out and rehashing where I'm at with God, life, writing, relationships, art, etc. January 3rd was a good entry for that, knowing that this year, 2015, I will e-publish several books and short stories. I...
