  Seasons of Sugar Creek: Summer is here! Yeah, I know it's fall. It's a little late. But it's here,  it's here! You can now pre-order my book on Amazon. I'll get it up on other retailers soon! Don't you love this cover? It's like a breath of fresh air.

Desperate for a pageant coach, Kristen makes a deal with billionaire fashion icon Ward Bianci to help her get into the final five. But the price he asks is pretty steep… Italian-American Ward Bianci needs a fake girlfriend to inherit his grandfather’s multi-billion dollar fashion empire.

What's next?

 My daughter's open house is over! Wedding prep that has lasted over a year for the three weddings is finally over! My sister got engaged last August. As her maid of honor-type person, we did a lot of talking about how and what to do for her wedding. As she was nearing 48, and her first wedding, we wanted to make sure that we properly celebrated. We decided on a Hallow-wedding! She loves Halloween and has skeletons hanging, not in her closet, but in her garage. So between August and October it was a race as we picked a color scheme. We designed wedding invites. We planned. Mature brides have different priorities than young ones. No attendants. So that was nice. She paid for a large chunk of the party herself. And she had a huge invite list. Her bridal shower as a "mourning the death of her single life," including an obituary and macabre decor. Perfect for October. Her reception was a costume party with prizes and dress up. I was a German barmaid with my daughter. MCed the...

My ADHD and How It Affects My Writing and What I'm Doing About It

I did something today that I've never done before. I bought a label maker and made labels to organize my bookmarks. If you are a label-maker type person I envy you.  It doesn't come naturally to me. I really struggle. I found out recently that I have ADHD. I was surprised, but I found that I was already doing something things to manage it. Lately, my family (my brothers and sisters) talk a lot about ADHD because we've all recently discovered that we all had it. I think it started with one of my siblings actually going to the doctor and getting diagnosed and the rest of us saying, oh, wait. I have that symptom, too. I was talking to one of my brothers about it and he said I was the one who escaped it. I was like, what are you talking about? I can tell you several symptoms off the top of my head. Look at my backlist, it jumps from genre to genre and I haven't finished a complete series yet. ADHD? I think so. Learning I have ADHD has answered a lot of question that have pl...
