Twenty years ago, I went on my first short term mission trip to an orphanage in Thailand. Ten years ago, I wrote a novel based on it. This week, 15 May 2024, that story is being published. Talk about a journey! But this story goes back further than that—to when I was just a kid,… Continue reading The Story Behind the Story
I love reading the Young Adult genre. Sure, it’s aimed at people younger than me but so many of them are written in such a way that people of all ages can enjoy them. They’re stories of characters who are just coming out from under the umbrella of their parents and learning not only who… Continue reading Young Adult Book Recs
Continuing on with the differences I found really intriguing - or that just made me smile - on my recent trip to the USA... 6. Yellow school buses Nope. We don't have these. Some schools (mostly private schools) have their own fleet of school buses but they're usually white with the school logo or design… Continue reading Things You Won’t Find in Australia (Part Two)
Last year, I had the fun of travelling to the USA for the first time (not including stopovers on the way to other places when I didn't even leave the airport). My sister and I flew into LAX, spent a day at Universal Studios, and then flew to Colorado to spend a week there before… Continue reading Things you won’t find in Australia (Part One)
Have you ever sat in front of your computer and wondered why you bother? Maybe it’s just me, though I doubt it. You look at the books on your shelves, or think of the number of books releasing every year (spoiler: it’s a LOT), or read about a story about to release from a multi-published… Continue reading Is There Still Room for One?
I have to admit, it's kind of fun to go through the books I've read each year (thank you Goodreads!) and share my favorites. I haven't done it for a couple of years but read so many that I absolutely LOVED this year that I just had to share. If you follow me on social… Continue reading Top 10 (First-Time) Reads of 2023
Whether you’re an author who's traditionally published, indie published, not yet published, or not even thinking about publishing for a very long time, there’s one thing we authors all have in common: a never-ending to-do list. It doesn’t seem to matter how many things we cross off it, there’s always more. More to write, more… Continue reading Learning to Celebrate
It's been a few days now and I still can't find words to sum up what it meant to be there in person and watch Fidele Youth Dance Company bring my book to life on stage. I don't think I ever will, but I'll do my best. To be honest, I wondered many times before… Continue reading Fidele Youth Dance Company Bring Her Home (attempted) Show Reflection
When it comes to writing, there’s a lot of advice going around. As a rule-follower and lifelong learner, I’ve eagerly soaked up a lot of it over the past decade—through craft books, blog posts, and other authors. Most of it has been incredible. But alongside the wisdom, I seem to have soaked in some myths… Continue reading 5 Myths I Believed About Being a Writer
I don’t know about the rest of you but life has seemed pretty overwhelming these past few years. My normal coping mechanisms have flown out the window with the pace of it all (and things well out of my control… here’s looking at you worldwide pandemic), and I’ve been left floundering. And where I’d normally… Continue reading I Have Heard Your Cry
