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…

YES, DONE!! CHAPTER 23 ON JAN 23/2023
I typed this, (SEE BLOG POST TITLE…YAY!!!) tonight in the final book draft of the final Miss Liv Adventures Book V: Life Key. WOW! What a journey. When I started a five-book series, I knew it would be many years and unimaginable hours of writing and rewriting, editing and perfecting. But I didn’t understand what…
Wait for it…

It’s About Time
It’s amazing how much time it takes to weave and wend through a story twisted by time travel, and yet how little time the story covers in the life of the traveling character – back in their original timeline. For that character, time is also stretched, and they grow wise (or wily) beyond their years….
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! I turned inward and was minding my ‘real world’ relationships…
Fan Mail! I’m Delighted
I can’t resist sharing this image that was sent by email to me by a Miss Liv fan. They said, “Miss Liv a few centuries earlier.” I quite agree it catches her adventurous, bold spirit perfectly… even has her silvery grey eyes. And this Miss Liv finally found a way to tame those unruly dark…

Winter Solstice, Conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, and… oh yes, Book III of the Miss Liv Adventure’s series is Launched into our Story Universe, THE UNWITTING JOURNEYS OF THE WITTY MISS LIVINGSTONE: DREAMS KEY!

You Think You Know a Person…
My petticoat muse has taken quite a turn. No sooner did I finish Miss Livingstone Book III: Dreams Key and set the Release and Launch for December 21st and she kicked back and quit helping me!“It’s the holidays,” she says. “I’m getting a makeover and chillaxing until the virtual parties arrive.”“It’s time for copious reading…
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…
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…
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…
