New Kick
I have been on a massive writing kick for about fourteen months. I wrote: * a screenplay * an entire novel * a novella * a short novel * a treatment of a screenplay * a rewrite of an existing novel (twice) Plus numerous blog posts, articles, query letters, essays, letters, you name it. I wrote […]
Tales from The Con
So I went to the Salt Lake Comic Con FanX last week and this is what happened: As I walked around (or even as I sat at my booth) I kept thinking it was like I was living someone else’s life. But someone cool. […]
The Fourth Ripple is Hitting Today
Happy “book birthday” to the fourth book in the Ripple Effect Romance Series: LOST AND FOUND by Karey White. I met Karey live and in person last week when I went by her house to pick up a stack-ola of Ripple Effect books to take to Comic Con. She’s SO nice! We had a fun […]
200 People Who Have Looked Inside My Brain
So, a week ago I spent the whole day talking to Mr. Murphy and Mr. Osmond’s English classes at the local high school. About 200 kids are reading BIG IN JAPAN as part of their curriculum this year. Whoa, right? It was partway through the day when I realized: These people have all looked inside […]

I’m just hopping up and down! (Well, actually I’m typing and sitting on my couch. But my spirit is hopping up and down.) It’s here! The launch date of this new series. I’ve LOVED reading through these books. They’re really lovely stories, just sweep-you-away stories of people I feel I actually knew when the books […]
Well, I’ll Never Do THAT Again
In the fall of 2011 while I was waiting on confirmation that BIG IN JAPAN would be picked up for publication, I joined the rest of the writing world in the ritual known as NaNoWriMo. It’s a weird word, one reminiscent of a bad rhino joke or something Mork From Ork would say, but it’s […]
