It's difficult being neurodivergent and understanding a world you do not belong to. It's worse when you thought that you weren't neurodivergent, were raised with high expectations, and then smashed yourself through exhaustion, only to find out the opposite was true. This week's #BehndTheScenes reminds everyone that your life can turn out much differently than you imagined...and it might have been the better route, despite the bumps. When I was growing up, high expectations we

So far, so good. March is starting out ok. But something more exciting - the #TuesdayTrivia answers! Which ones did you get right? Let me know in the comments! "Sharia" Law - Explained in the Quran and the Hadiths, Shari'a isn't the extremist form we associate with it. Shari'a is the path society takes to implement Islam. It emphasizes taking care of the poor, providing money for education, being environmentally conscious, etc. What we associate "Sharia Law" with is the suppr

It's something that people have asked me. The reviews in the first two books even said it. Will there be more books about Klenard? Have you thought of writing a story about so-and-so character? Why can't this character's story be told? And this #BehindTheScenes is here to tell you...I do have more plans for the world of Enos. But I have other projects I want to work on. I don't want to spoil such a good thing with too much! I can tell you what I have planned so far, though. P

It's Friday, and you know all know what that means! It's time for the answers to #TriviaTuesday How many did you get? Comment below! The Pirates' Code - Pirates of the Caribbean caught my imagination as a teen. No, I did not write fan fiction for that particular storyline, but the idea of sailing the open seas with a random bunch of men and women was an escape from reality. Having a moral code made the idea even better. That was where the Articles of Agreement in From Across

Five years ago today, I published my second novel. It was a different genre from what I had written before. That really snowy day, as I shoveled snow, it felt like nothing had changed. The world was still turning. The pandemic was swirling around the country. Everyone was reeling from the events from the month before. But it meant a lot more to me than everybody thinks. Because that book, Casting Shadows , brought me a new vision, of seeing things through another's eyes and u

This #BehindTheScenes explores a story from a long time ago, nearly a decade ago now. It was January 2018 actually. I was working early hours at the bank call center. I was also readying myself to leave our current housing situation. My husband and I were planning our marriage at town hall too (yes, we did it that way) and there was a lot of family drama. And the worries about our son's autism! It was an insane time. You cannot imagine the stress I was under. Everything was i

Into the partial cover reveal for In Fiery Autumn Dress . The next reveal is set for February 2 - the fifth anniversary of the publication of the first book in the series, Casting Shadows . End of March/beginning of April 2026, I will set the Kindle pre-order up. Stay tuned for more news (and maybe some spoilers) in the coming months. Victoria's story isn't over yet. Namaste! Have a great week, everyone! #CoverReveal #BookSeries #Fiction #Fantasy #Action #Adventure #History

I've always seen life, especially with chronic illness, as a spinning wheel. The universe is constantly taking a turn at it. Just when you think something is going good or you get used to life, something else stops you and drops you to the ground. It might not seem like a lot. You're used to being hit all the time. You're always waiting for the other shoe to drop. But this is different. This is a power that you do not understand. It's your own body. From the inside, it attack

"You don't look disabled." "No! You don't look autistic!" Those are things that I hear often. They are right. I am thirty-six years old and have managed life pretty ok. Although it took a while, I have a Bachelors in Educational Studies. I am self-employed as an author. I have a son and a husband and two fur babies. I own my home and can pay my bills, take phone calls and answer the door. Take walks and act civilized in public mostly. Smile and greet people. Run and play with
