I’ve been getting acquainted with a new writer friend. Not that Susan Page Davis is a new writer, but a new friend. She has written a bunch of books and won awards for her romantic suspense, historical romance and mysteries. This month, she released a 3-in-1 Kindle edition of mysteries set in Maine. We’ll post …
Last week, I listed seven lessons I’d learned as a new author. Most of them were things I plan to do differently from this point forward. But there was one I learned, particularly from my most recent book, that I intend to apply not only in writing but in other areas of my life as well. …
It’s been a while since I last wrote. One year ago, I was eagerly anticipating the release of my first novel, Hear No Evil. It’s hard to believe I now have two books published and a third one on the way! So if you’ve wondered what happened to my blog (I hope you’ve missed me!), …

She spends her days transporting to and from volleyball, teaching writing classes at a local coop, and directing the children’s music program at her church. With decades of …
I thought the dream was dead. It died a slow death, giving me time to look around for a new one. At last, I felt ready to put the old one to rest and move on. Move forward. And then… Boom! I met an editor at a writers’ conference who expressed a strong interest in …

Would you continue to meet regularly with a group of people who criticized your work and pointed out flaws in your thinking, then told you how to improve? Welcome to a writer’s critique group. Few, if any, writers make it into print without submitting to this refining process. When I first visited a local critique …
