I took time out from editing to attend ‘Murder on the Orient Express’ at our local theatre Valley Center Stage . I’m always amazed at the imaginative sets and acting talent that come through this theatre. This near life-sized train engine wall mural, with actual lights embedded, greeted patrons as we entered, setting the stage…
Women and Flying Machines
I have a tough time resisting a full read through of any history on early flying machines, especially if there’s a daring woman involved. I thoroughly enjoyed this article about Ruth Law on Pioneers of Aviation, and perhaps you will too. CLICK HERE or on the photo to see more.
A Glowing Opportunity
Mt. Si glowed gorgeously out my window all day today, matching my mood. I’ve been a bit down about the delays on Book III’s final edit. Though I’m determined and marching forward to complete and publish it as soon as it’s brilliant – or at least up to Miss Livingstone’s particular standards. But today I…
The Mermaid and the Bear – Book Review
I don’t often review books on Miss LiV Adventures, but The Mermaid and the Bear, by Ailish Sinclair, may be of interest to many of my readers due to its genre and style. I’ve also enjoyed following this author’s blog, ailishsinclair.com and you may too! REVIEW: I teetered between 4 and 5 stars, but decided…
Merry Christmas & Season’s Greetings
I hope your holidays are special and full of peace and joy. No matter what you are celebrating, celebrate with love… Best Wishes!
Time and Time Again
It’s possible that it’s completely appropriate to be writing Book III of Miss Liv Adventures time travel series yet again. 🙂 Still aiming to publish by the end of the year. Wish me luck and safe NaNo travels!
Excelerate
Yes, I know…before you correct my spelling, I had a reason for messing up the word accelerate. I’m pleased to announce I’ve finished the Excel spreadsheet from hell, otherwise known as Timeline Points by Character, and I’m ready to move forward speedily with completing Book III (and IV & V) at long last. I’m still…
A Fun and Successful Summer Camp
I’m a big participator in NaNoWriMo events. Even as a more seasoned writer I find the challenges and group support a great motivator to keep moving ahead. This July I completed my 60 hour editing goal on Book III of Miss LiV Adventures. Still working hard to perfect that twisty time travel plot and make…
I’ve Got my Towel…Time to Travel!
I can’t wait to arrive at Norwescon! Come on down to Seatac DoubleTree and join the fun! I’ve got my new steampunk trope Octopus towel at the ready for this year’s theme, and a table lined up to share with my esteemed colleagues Rachel Barnard, Sheri J Kennedy and Victoria Bastedo on Writer’s Row….
Miss Livingstone in gif
Describe your main character in 3 words and a gif is the challenge. I came upon it through my friend Tam Borgia and her NaNoWriMo blog. So of course we must do this for Miss Livingstone! Impetuous, Passionate, Witty. Since Impetuous came to mind first, that’s what I went with to find a meme…and then I…
Ninny Rhino Achieved! Camp NaNo Challenge Accepted!
In the month of March I took up D. Wallace Peach’s Ninny Rhino challenge – mostly because I wanted the awesome Rhino Badge, but also because I needed to get back on track with disciplined writing sessions and immerse myself in Miss Livingstone’s twisty time travel plot until I solved the remaining plot knots. It…
Tangled Knots are Fabulous Plots
…AT LAST! I would hate to admit how many hours it’s taken to untangle the web woven my Miss Livingstone’s books I & II. So many lovely mysteries were threaded and I was determined to bring them to a most incredible and rewarding tapestry at the end. I believe I’ve done it. I’ve plotted and…
