I didn’t mean to go missing…but you know how it goes

While I have been missing from this blog, I have also been writing and reno-ing in real life. I’ll continue to be busy doing that, but I am also going to try and get some more content over here.

When I don’t, please feel free to visit my Substack “Do you know where YOUR story is?”, where I approach writing from other directions. This includes a periodic segment called |Time for a Story| where I post installments of stories for pleasure, comment, and discussion.

Meanwhile, I’ll let you know how my current WIP is doing–as in it’s in revision with only a few more passes to go. But–that’s its own story.

A Holiday Message to My Readers

I know I’ve added some readers this year–and I never really said ‘Hello!’ So, Hello, and Happy Holidays.

Welcome to my crazy world where I share things I’ve learned about writing as well as navigate my way through the noveling process. I hope that what I share is helpful and interesting to you, as much as it is to me.

It’s also that time of year when we are all looking for something to share with others. A few years back I wrote a book called Christmas House. It was originally a novel intended for the Hallmark audience; alas, that didn’t happen. But I published it anyway, because I like Bret and Molly, the young couple I wrote about. Harried, dedicated, excited about their future, they set out to create a Christmas destination based on their woodworking, crafting, and catering businesses. They plan to set this all up in a Victorian house they are renovating. And, they want to plan a family as well. As the saying goes, what could possibly go wrong? Well, to Bret and Molly, it seems the answer to that is : Everything.

If you’d like to know the whole story, you can find Bret and Molly and Christmas House at

Take a look, check it out, but above all, welcome to my site, and have a happy holiday, however you celebrate it .

… and remember:
