Leaping Birthday Lizards?
February 1st, 2020Happy February 1st in a leap year and congrats to everyone born on February 29 who can have their birthday celebration on their official birthday.
This leap year month at Jewel HQ we are having a party for the big dog. We don’t know her actual birthday but we subtracted her age (~8mos) when we got her from the shelter and arrived at February.
She needs a new collar. What would you get a dog for its birthday?
Below is a picture of Bella with her BFF Tiger the cat.

December 19th, 2019Progress Report
December 10th, 2019I do have a progress report on Bound in Smoke, which is that I have four chapters to edit before I send it back to my editor.
It’s been slow going. 2018 was a challenging year for me. I needed a lot longer than I thought to recover from a long period of disrupted sleep while I helped care for my ill mother. And, as many of you know, I’ve been on the Board of RWA since 2014 and am currently the President, and that takes quite a lot of mental energy, so things are slow.
But Bound in Smoke is really truly coming soon! I hope to have the updated Chapter 1 posted soon, and an expanded excerpt in the members only section of my website. If you’re a newsletter subscriber, you’ll get access!
Happy Thanksgiving to All

General Updates
September 1st, 2019A few updates for everyone.
I am in the final, final stages of editing Bound In Smoke. I expect to post the new chapter 1 shortly and send this version to my editor. It seems like forever that I’ve been working on this, and I know that the initial versions went slowly for a lot of reasons, including my mother’s illness and then her passing.
The current version is, in fact, a ground up rewrite and that has been going very quickly, all things considered.
Here’s the cover, just so you can see again and get as excited for the series as I am!
It’s fitting that on the weekend the US celebrates Labor Day, I am laboring on writing this awesome story.
