Norwescon is Marvelous in the old-fashioned sense of the term. Marvels await around every turn. I spend most of my time in panels and workshops, honing writing skills, exchanging ideas, listening to readings by incredible authors and speculating on what the future holds. I also like to attend…
Category: About the Author
I is for Interesting – or Snerklesome, perhaps
Snerklesome: Snarky Nerdy Smirkable in a Well-rounded Thought-provoking package. Like a groan is to a pun, snerklesome is to a post. A snickered-snort through the nose with a long nod that carries the mind to a satisfying something else.
H is for Hello!
I’m curious but not nosy, intellectual but not a brainiac, active but not an athlete, and an artist through and through. I’m definitely an introvert, but in the last several years I’ve come to appreciate community, and being a active part of one has helped me thrive. Blogging is much about community for me too. I love connecting with people all over the world.
Already Amazed
I’m Already Amazed at how much work I have to do on Miss LiV Adventures, Book II this month. I’ve signed up for 75 hours of editing as my goal for Camp NaNoWriMo, and I’m also taking the A to Z Blogging Challenge to post each day this month for you here on the blog….
Tasty Tunes & All That Jazz
Emmet Cohen Trio’s stop in Snoqualmie Valley (North Bend) last week was a real treat. They brought some 1919 ragtime jazz in with modern phrasing and complex innovation. (Perhaps like Miss Livingstone showed up from 1910 Snoqualmie and walked into Piccola Cellars to sit at my table and jive with me that night!) Add to that, playful humor and…
Artful Journeys
The best tours are tours of the arts. The Sketchbook Project and its various cross-country tours brought adventures in creativity followed by whimsical and wonderful connections. Some friends and I started SnoBoot SketchCats to create together and to share some of our favorite Sketchbook finds when the tours came to and near our ‘neck of…

Yes, I Love Costumes & Mark Twain’s Wit and Wisdom
“Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t.” -Mark Twain I apparently love any chance to dress up and express myself with costumes and dramatic clothing…much to my mother’s dismay. I grew up in the era when you only got to wear fairy wings on…
For the Record…
Yes, I have almost completed the manuscript for Miss Livingstone, Book II: Memory Key, and I did indeed win NaNoWriMo for my 9th year in a row, and my 10th time total. Hooray! and TGIO…lol. -Quinnleeeee
A Worthy Cause
What do you do with your book sales money? I’m a bit of a starving artist, but it’s because no matter how successful I become I live passionately. And part of that is giving money to good causes and to support other artists and people who give service in my community. Tonight I attended a…
Blasting Off – NaNoWriMo 2016
In about an hour I’m off to our region’s NaNoWriMo First Words…Stroke of Midnight Kick-off. I’m a co-ML (leader) for Snoqualmie Valley Region again this year, and I can hardly wait to dive in – or blast off – and start Book II of the Miss Liv Adventures! This will be my 10th manuscript…
My Favorite Moment
The moment when the first big batch of books arrives may be my favorite moment of being an author. It’s like opening that big package at Christmas and finding inside the thing you wished for with all your heart. At last I know the book is no longer only my own, but will be shared with…
