And Baby Makes 6
Guess what day it is! (No, it's not hump day. This is not that commercial.) It's launch day! Another book birthday. For another book baby I adore so much! And this one is, perhaps, the most special of them all. Why? Because I didn't just write this book for entertainment or for the love of [...]
Dear Haters
Dear Haters, You know if you don't like the taxes in our school district, or the congested streets, or the trash blown around by the wind, there are actions you can take, right? You can, for instance, put your property up for sale. (Prices are really good in our area right now and - bonus [...]
Punctuality is Overrated
I... ...am a dumb dumb. Every now and again, circumstances arise that remind me that I don't always make those very solid decisions I normally take pride in. Yesterday was one of those times. Older kid had an interview in Manhattan at 11 a.m. I planned for the two of us to take the bus [...]
Adding to the Family
So Marit Unsanctioned comes out <checks clock> tomorrow. And I've done almost nary a thing to promote it. Is this what it's like when parents have a fifth child? Is it a bundle of excitement that you just don't talk about because there's already so much going on? It's past time to show Marit Unsanctioned [...]

It's occurred to me recently that I'm always quick to let everyone know when we're riding that cancer train, but not always quick [...]
2022 Wrap Up

I've been working hard this year and I look forward to continuing on my writing journey throughout the next year. I can't wait to share with you the YA fantasy that's on its way next year, but [...]
Dropping the Ball
A parent's job is never done. There's always appointments and therapy and lessons and endless testing and school projects to keep track of. By the end of May, most parents (and teachers, really) are ready to collapse in a heap of exhaustion. Myself, included. Amidst the current Covid spike, there are also a handful of [...]
#8pmWritingSprint
Any artist will tell you the key to progressing in an artistic endeavor is consistency. This applies to painting, drawing, digital art, music composition, and yes, writing. Maybe especially writing. It should come as a surprise to exactly no one that, six months ago, I was deep in a writer's block. It wasn't that I [...]
