'Fireflies' by P.S. Bartlett ★★★★★ 5/5 The story of the Whelan family is set in the 1800s. It would take absolutely brilliant writing to really take us back in time to a different century – and the writer has achieved this quite impressively. This is one of those books that has to be read at a …
Slowing Down for the Greater Good
It dawned on me this evening after dinner that I've only had 20 hours of sleep since Sunday night. I can't blame it on insomnia or anxiety or even menopause because I do get sleepy and when I finally go to bed, I'm asleep within minutes...most nights. Then, I read this quote: "Face the facts …
Editing is for Lovers…of Editing
Because I Love You Guys and I Love These Paragraphs Last night, I began my editing journey on my third novel and I'm already almost finished what I call, the soft edits.

Music – Sometimes it’s like the artist feels YOU
I fell in love with this song. Not only are the music and lyrics beautiful but it reminds me so much of "Fireflies" and "Hope From the Ocean." Thank you Avicii!
Hope From the Ocean – A Peek Into the Lives of the Flynns
I wanted to share an excerpt from Chapter 3 of "Hope From the Ocean." This is but a sneak peek into the lives of the family Flynn and what makes them so special to me and to so many readers already. Enjoy: By Christmas night, they were all stuffed fatter than the goose and huddled together for …
