Blog postbecause, among other things, I've been writing. 2020 was hard for most everyone - for some it was far worse than for others, as we know. With so much known and unknown going on, I experienced a lot of trouble writing. I could write, yes, but not what I wanted to write. My usual somewhat angsty but essentially upbeat stories kept derailing, and though I kept trying to write per my usual process, it wasn't working - until I met the character, Lilliane Moore. I was very fortunate to be able to s

Blog postI knew the title, A Light Last Seen, almost before I knew anything else about this novel. I don't know where the title came from. I just knew it. But I was well along with the writing before the dragonflies were added to the story. Dragonflies appear in A Light Last Seen at important points in Jaynie Highsmith's life ~ beginning on that fateful day when young Jaynie met Ruth Berry. Why dragonflies? This past summer when I was writing A Light Last Seen, we had an abundance of dragonflies. Each da

Blog postIt's a single title, standalone novel. It's set in the same Cub Creek environment as THE MEMORY OF BUTTERFLIES, THE WILDFLOWER HOUSE SERIES and CUB CREEK and LEAVING CUB CREEK. One ARC reader said it this way: "'In the heart of Virginia, where the forests hide secrets and the creeks run strong and deep' is a place called Cub Creek. A place that has meadows filled with colorful flowers and butterflies to chase, and dirt roads and Cub Creek to jump over and disappear into the woods. A living

Blog postWe have reached mid-July. For me, that's always seemed like the mid-point of summer. When I was a child, my thoughts would already be about returning to school, or when my children were young, we were wondering who their teachers would be or would they be in the same classes as their friends... It's human nature to race ahead of today, but I hope you'll enjoy the present and if it's hot where you are, I hope your AC is working well and that you have lots of time for reading - whether inside or i

Blog postMany of you saw my posts over the past year as I wrote this novel, The Memory of Butterflies. You heard about Hannah Cooper, the fictional protagonist, and how I cried a lot as I wrote her story. All that crying while writing was an unusual experience for me, and one that I'll never forget. I hope readers will find also Hannah's story emotional and moving. But I know that what moves some people emotionally, may not move others. Likewise, an anecdote that someone finds hilarious may simply mystif

Blog postA year ago today was my first day as a full-time writer. After decades of day jobs and writing as best I could in the evenings and weekends, I took the jump, the plunge, the whatever-you-want-to-call-it leap into a new world. Writing part-time is very different from pumping out the stories full-time. I was apprehensive, but I was also very blessed because as The Big Day approached, Lake Union Publishing (an Amazon Imprint specializing in Women's Fiction) contacted me. I was thrilled beyond expre
