This has been an insane week. First I packed up and headed for kids camp with my three children where I fell violently ill with a stomach virus. Not so much fun. However, the last half of the week has redeemed itself. First off BREATHE received a great review from one of my favorite YA […]

The beach house was full of teenagers last night. So, I of course used the opportunity to listen while they talked. When adults are listening and not constantly judging teens tend to get very free with their speech. Granted, I was listening to their stories and thinking of my children asleep just down the hall […]
As most of you know already, about two weeks ago my first novel, Breathe, was released. What you don’t know is, I had a major breakdown on it’s release date. Literally, I went into a panic. The world would be able to read my words and CRITIQUE them! At different times during the day I […]

When I am not my kids chauffeur, the housekeeper and the cook, I immerse myself in good YA novels. Okay, so that sounds healthy and well rounded doesn’t it…don’t be too impressed because it’s […]
