Welcome to my home on the web!

Thanks for stopping by!

I am a housewife and writer (YA and Romance).  My absolute favorite place to be is on a nice warm beach with my feet in the warm sand, the water splashing over my toes.  Because of this, I always find a beach being a focal point in everything I write, from short-story to full-length novel.  I tend to listen to music while I write, and my favorite artist to get me in the writing mood is Jimmy Buffet (which may have something to do with the beach theme, too).

I live in Pennsylvania, so I don’t get to spend quite as much time at the beach as I would like.  Even at home, I find myself barefoot more often than not–a beach bum at heart! Unfortunately, this drives my husband crazy, given my obsession with shopping for cute shoes!

I started blogging in January of 2011 on a team blog, Have Coffee…Will Write,  with fellow romance writer, Karen DeLabar.  In May of 2011, we decided to split the blog onto our own sites.  Some of my post that were originally featured on HCWW can now be found here as well.  They showcase my transformation as a writer, from someone who was afraid to post anything at all to someone who loves blogging.

My plan is to post here most weeks on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.  While I am not the best at sticking to themes, I will try to dedicate Wednesdays to What I’m Watching (I look at books as I read them–that counts, right?). Fridays are for Fun in the Sun–at least for the next few months. I will also mix in some book reviews and interviews with some of my fellow writers.

Have a look around and check out my blog, find out more about me, or check out what I have been reading.  Feel free to contact me with any questions or if you just want to say hi! I love connecting with new people.  :-)
