My latest short story “Intent” is complete and will be published in the Gems of Gratitude anthology (book 2 in the Gems of Sisterhood anthology series). This is quite a different story for me.

Another successful year at Belmar BookCon! This was their second year, and it was my second year going. I will definitely go again and again. I’m sure someday it will end up being so huge that readers will overcrowd it – the authors deserve that. But for now, I’m lucky enough to be able to […]
