A Trip Down Library Lane

I’m a private person. As such, I don’t share information about my personal life online; at least, not much beyond the inconsequential. But, that doesn’t mean I’m not willing to offer up a few tidbits about my personality and interests. In fact, I bet if I were to give you a peek at my libraryContinueContinue reading “A Trip Down Library Lane”

When Cherished Musicals Go Off-Key

Hindsight can be brutal to the childhood experiences we often hold dear. My mother was a connoisseur of old Hollywood musicals, and by extension, so was I. Some of the fondest memories of my mother are when she’d serenade the household with lively Rodgers and Hammerstein numbers as she went about the daily duties ofContinueContinue reading “When Cherished Musicals Go Off-Key”

D.M.’s Ultimate 80s Science Fiction/Fantasy Mix Tape

I seem to be surrounded by 1980s music as of late. My 14-year-old daughter and her bestie are currently “into” the decade’s musical offerings. They’ve been belting out A-Ha and Bonnie Tyler from the backseat of the car everywhere we go, and much to their delight, an eighties-centric band headlined a local summer concert seriesContinueContinue reading “D.M.’s Ultimate 80s Science Fiction/Fantasy Mix Tape”

Drowning In Good Intentions

I am drowning in good intentions, and it is quite the bittersweet experience. It all began on the first day of December 2016 with an idea spurred by an event that took place almost a month earlier—that most hateful of days: Election Day. Now faced with an ugly political landscape guaranteed to harm the disadvantaged,ContinueContinue reading “Drowning In Good Intentions”

Juggling multiple POV characters? Do THIS!

Congratulations! You’ve gone and done a heroic thing and put multiple heroes in your book. As the saying goes: two heroes (or three or four or…) are better than one.  Yes, I’m paraphrasing a tad.  My point is, you have a big, beautiful, complex book – more than likely part of a series – andContinueContinue reading “Juggling multiple POV characters? Do THIS!”

Pitch Wars Young Adult Mentors Handy MSWL

So, I did a thing…. If you are a hopeful Pitch Wars mentee for Young Adult/New Adult, and you haven’t already picked out your Most Wanted Mentors, then do I have a helpful list for you!  I had the day off (courtesy a left eye surgery – thanks, early onset cataracts!) and spent the parts ofContinueContinue reading “Pitch Wars Young Adult Mentors Handy MSWL”

Kick-Ass Women and the Woman Who Loves Them

Somewhere between the ages of 5 and 10, I had a bracelet. Well, to be honest, my oldest sister had the bracelet. I just borrowed it on occasion. It was a cuff-type bracelet; about two inches wide in faux silver finish and open in the back so you could squeeze your wrist into it.  WheneverContinueContinue reading “Kick-Ass Women and the Woman Who Loves Them”
