I still marvel to think that a little plot idea I had eight or so years ago has finally morphed into a book of my own. There were lots of little milestones, from actually finishing the manuscript, to sending it on each successive round of critiques (two […]

I’m currently searching for stories of ways people helped you or people you know while they served missions, or how you or people you know helped support missionaries.

I signed and mailed back the contract yesterday and am totally thrilled. I don’t have even a tentative a publication date yet, but hope to within the next couple of weeks. I’m […]

They live in Mexico and I haven’t seen them since last July. I have completed 7110 words and managed some editing. Above and beyond that, I read […]

I don’t know how she manages to keep up with them all, and her kids, and her writing, etc, etc, but she’s amazing (and she’s a dang awesome writer too). Anyway, on her blog Tristi’s Challenges, she’s got more than two dozen writers gearing up for another […]

Don’t get me wrong, I love the way my story looks after the edit is done.
