42! At last!
The answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything (ala Douglas Adams style) for Miss Livingstone’s story world has arrived!

Is a Happy Ending a Journey to Dullsville?
“A Protagonist and his story can only be as intellectually fascinating and emotionally compelling as the forces of antagonism make them.” ~ Robert McKee from Story While reading a Jane Friedman article by Ken Brosky, The Biggest Mistake Even Expert Writers Make, I understood the relationship between conflict (or antagonism) and character development in a new way….
I Can’t Wait to Camp!
I’m looking forward to the camaraderie of the Camp NaNo challenge this April. You can join too! I love the low key personal goal-setting and the chance to engage with other writers in my area on the Regional forum and at Write-in events. I’ve set a 25,000 words goal to complete the final drafts of…
Time Travel Theory – Why not?
The biggest block to time travel is physical inability to exceed the speed of light. But what if lightspeed wasn’t a constant? In a recent chat with my brother, he thought: “that’s the big hole in the theory of relativity imo. time as we think of it doesn’t seem to be actual reality so lightspeed…

We are here… We are here… We are here…
My blog presence has been about as tiny as Whoville for a time. But I’m back and terribly excited to be madly at work finishing the Miss Liv series with high hopes of publishing the two final books in our Miss Livingstone’s saga in 2023!

Book Review – The Necromancer’s Daughter
I’m definitely a D. Wallace Peach fan. I’ve come to expect action-packed plots with plenty of inner conflicts and character dilemmas, as well as nuanced worlds drawn with hard-edged gritty description to achingly beautiful prose. Mostly I know I’ll find complex relationships and a story that will keep me turning pages – fully connected to…
