Happy New Year! Ready to write in 2021!

 

I hope you all had a good Christmas. We had a pretty relaxed day at home. My kids got new bikes. One of the benefits of living in Arizona is that they got to go out and test them right away!

I ate way too much pie and am recovering from all that sugar. In the month ahead, I will be plotting some of my next books. I have a few ideas to pitch to my editor and I'm excited to explore those stories a bit more.

Heading to the island

This week I started writing a new novella - which will take place on Mackinac Island!  It's still in the early phases, but I'm really excited about it.

Recommended Reads for April

Greetings from week "I've lost count" of social isolation! My kiddos started their schooling at home curriculum from their teachers and they are not big fans. Not only do they miss an instructor that knows what they are doing, they really want to spend time with their friends.

My daughter was missing her pals so much the other day that she set up her desk with a few stuffies and dolls to keep her company.  It was so cute!

Thanks to everyone for the Kindle book recommendations! Reading at the end of a long day has been my reward to myself!

If you all are the same way, here are some books to check out this month, including some sales and giveaways. Enjoy!

Every year in February, we take a trip to visit the Arizona Renaissance Festival. We had a great time this year - our son was even called up to participate in the plate-spinning and juggling shows.

My cat is my coworker now

Since I move my desk to my new spot last month, Pepper has been a frequent visitor. She sits and looks out the window while I write.

Pepper plays with the kids every morning before school, but when they are gone we sit down and get to work. I even keep her kitty bed under my desk so she can curl up for a good cat nap when needed.

In my own little corner...

I'm a bit dust-covered! My husband and I spent the weekend rearranging the furniture in our room so that I could have a nice little space in the corner for my writing desk. Of course, my "write like a girl" print is hanging on the wall, and I'm can't wait to do just that!

Pack up the tinsel, it's time to get busy!

I hope you all had fun and festive holidays! This year two out of three of my kids made it to midnight on New Year's Eve, but they were extra crabby the next day. They went back to school today and were certainly dragging their feet after a few weeks off. I love them dearly but I'm really glad for some peace and quiet for a few hours!
