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 postThis decade is soon to the be in the rearview mirror. But wow, what a decade it was personally, especially in my writing life. My first published novel, BEACH RENTAL, released in 2011. KINCAID'S HOPE and A STRANGER IN WYNNEDOWER released in 2012. A STRANGER IN WYNNEDOWER was my first Indie published title. From BEACH RENTAL to my most recent release this past November, a total of SIXTEEN published works are out there in the world with my name on them. Crazy!! What truly astounds me is that someo

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

Whether I'm waiting for the hummingbirds to arrive, the flowers to bloom, or a family member's graduation, or making plans for summer vacation - May is that kind of month.

Blog postMany readers enjoy seeing the story behind the story, and the bits and pieces of what goes into growing a story. If that's you, I hope you'll enjoy this post.

BEACH WINDS followed in 2013 and was Frannie and Brian's story, with Juli, Luke and Maia as part of their lives. Now, the third novel, BEACH WEDDING, will be released

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 postIt always seems strange to me that I find commitments so intimidating. Is it the fear of failing to meet those commitments? The worry of letting others down? Of letting myself down? Of tempting fate to reach out and teach me the foolhardiness of presuming to make plans ~ as if I am in control of anything whatsoever?Control is an illusion, right?I do like to be in control. I know that I can't control everything, every eventuality, but with adequate logic applied, research done, serious thought gi

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

Blog postWe think, we dream, we plot, we write, we cut, we rewrite. We agonize over a turn of phrase, a verb, editing, then the cover and dedication and acknowledgment. And then we must wait. Release day. Readers. Reviews. Welcome to excitement, anxiety, happiness, and maybe a few tears.THE HAPPINESS IN BETWEEN officially releases today. (Women's Fiction) In this story, I touch on a lot of serious, personal topics ~ topics that many of us deal with in our lives and that most of our families struggle with

Blog postI don’t do annual resolutions. I used to make half-hearted resolutions because everyone asked, “What’s your New Year’s resolution?” but I knew I’d never keep them. How self-defeating is that behavior? For many years, I resolved to quit smoking. I did eventually quit but it had no connection to a New Year’s resolution. Same for losing weight or making use of a gym membership…those sound good but that kind of motivation never worked for me. Still, I think it’s important to mark the approach of the

Blog postI send you best wishes for a blessed Christmas and a wonderful holiday season for all. Our Christmas will be quiet this year, but in the quiet we will have all the more opportunity to count our blessings and enjoy our memories. Tonight we'll attend a local, combined Christmas Eve service and tomorrow we'll attend Sunday service at our church. After that, we'll spend part of Christmas Day with my mother. My husband, an excellent cook, has delicious meals planned and I may even get a little work i

Blog postI’ve been popping in and out of edits this month. The in-edit state is intense. When you come out of that intense editing state, you are left at loose ends, unable to move on or focus, as you try to transition back into normal daily life. If I still had children at home, perhaps they’d force me back to real world tasks, but I don’t and so it’s up to me to re-focus on the to-do list that was neglected while editing.Christmas tree and decorating in general ~ We aren’t doing a lot of decorating thi

Blog postI love Autumn. I know I’ve said that before…many times. One of the best things about Autumn is Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. The gathering of family and friends, the food, the Tryptophan, and football playing on TV in the background ~ makes me remember many, many years of happy Thanksgivings.Traditionally, of course, we expect turkey and stuffing and gravy and cranberries, but what else? Is there some dish that you always make for Thanksgiving and rarely have any other time

Blog postHappy Halloween. I've always loved Halloween and even though my participation is now pretty much down to handing over candy as I 'ooh' and 'ahh' over children's costumes, it's filled with so many memories for me that it all sort of mixes into one long happy holiday recollection.As a child, coming up with and wearing the costumes fed my dramatic persona. I loved pretend games ~ pretending I lived in Medieval times, pretending I was a pioneer woman, and so on, as a daily activity. We played dress-

Blog postI love Autumn. It’s my favorite season with its mild temps, low humidity, and colorful leaves. The other day I was posting about my love of the season when I realized that while I was writing about my memories of the season, I was describing settings in my books. Not surprising, really, but fascinating in its own way. Whether it’s a special place the writer would like to visit, or some version of a place from their personal history, the places that exist in a writer’s mind often end up on the pa
