Celebrating Patriot's Day

I have exciting news! College Hill: Season One is now available on Kindle Unlimited. So, for those of you who didn't want to fool with Kindle Vella, you can now read this season that follows Jamie Edwards and PJ Thomas from my book Suddenly through a portion of their first semester in college together. 


Season Two, which is on Kindle Vella for now, starts shortly after Fall break and will go to just before Christmas break. Season One introduces two characters, Kayla Martin and Lori Weaver, who will have a bigger role in Season Two and become two important characters throughout the remainder of the story. At least, that's the way I see them in my mind right now. 


I plan to make Christmas break its own season. When our characters go home for the holidays, there's going to be lots of drama.  


I'm also starting to post episodes of Ridgway Moon on Kindle Vella. The story is still dragging, so I want to get it out there and get some feedback from readers. Ridgway Moon is a follow-up book to Learning to Love Again. My characters from that story, Ava White and Mel Graves, play important roles in the new story, but it's about Mel's step-mother, Corina Graves, dealing with Mel's father, Jeff Graves' deteriorating health, and an attraction she begins to feel towards Sarah Dorcester, a childhood friend of Mel's who ends up in Ridgway, Colorado by chance. 


I recently created a new Patreon account, so I'm very new to that platform. I was planning to post something today, and I wasn't sure what I was going to talk about, but after watching the debate last night and seeing some of the news this morning, I decided to put my opinion about all that on my first post. It has nothing really to do with my writing, but it tells my readers where I stand with things in this election. 


As a woman, a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, partner, a lesbian, and a decent human being (I like to think), I have to choose Kamala Harris over Donald Trump, and my post on Patreon explains some of my thoughts on this subject.

Where Does The Time Go

Being Super Busy I started writing this blog post on July 19th, and here it is September, and I'm just now getting back to finish it. I'm changing things because the original information is outdated.  I spent the summer working on my new young adult lesbian romance, working, and trying to spend time with my grandkids. I have three grandsons who live in Colorado, so I only get to see them during the summer. This summer was so crazy that I didn't get to spend much time with them, which sucks, but it's the way things go sometimes.  The grandkids my partner, Rosa and I are raising are back in school and doing lots of school stuff. My oldest grandson, Jacob, turned 15 this summer. I can't believe it. He's almost 6 feet tall and in marching band. My oldest granddaughter, Jazmyn, is 13 going on 23. Just praying all of us survive her being a teenager. My other grandson, Julian, that Rosa and I are raising is 6, and we are homeschooling him. Socializatio

It's NaNoWriMo Season

Today is the beginning of NaNoWriMo 2023, and I've decided to work on a new YA romance this year. It has been almost two years since I published a new book! I can't believe how time has gotten away from me, but I've started about five new projects in this time period, so my goal for 2024 is to finish at least three of them, including the YA romance I'm about to start.  I had been torn about finishing a book I started during Camp NaNoWriMo in April or starting a new story. The story I started in April may not have 50,000 words left, but if I finish it next month, I can get it out to readers before the end of the year. Yes, I realize that is an overly ambitious goal, and that's why I decided to work on a new story for NaNoWriMo and start editing the book I started in April.  Yesterday was Halloween, and it was my partner's birthday. She turned 65 yesterday, and I adore her. This year has been a wild ride, and I'm learning to handle the ups and downs better. T

  114341264   ©   Andranik Hakobyan   |   Dreamstime.com Welcome to a new year, my friends. I am very happy to see 2023 in the rearview mirror. 2023 was a lot of things for me. I learned a lot about myself, and I'm not happy with who I have become. I have become a very unhappy and angry person. Part of that is because I feel that my life has been spiraling out of my control for a long time. Taking control meant making major changes that I have been afraid of making. But sometimes, you have to make painful changes for your mental health and happiness, and that's what I'm doing.  I dug out my Melissa Etheridge CD Your Little Secret  , and I've been listening to four of the songs from it on replay for the past few weeks. Those songs are: I Could Have Been You, Shriner's Park, Change, and  This War Is Over.  Change , in particular, speaks very strongly of where my life is right now. The lyrics that strike me the hardest are: "And so it goes, this, too, shall pass a
