The green and yellow gingham curtains slow danced in the gentle breeze coming in the open window. The room wasn’t big but it wasn’t tiny either. The ceiling dipped down on both sides of her bed, creating a cosy feeling. … Continue reading Full Circle – Part 2

Full Circle – Part 1
This is the first part of a new serial story I published on Medium.com. Part 2 will be out next weekend.
A New Beginning
Our new kitchen, before the movers arrived. New beginnings can be exciting and full of hope, or stressful with challenges and uncertainty. Sometimes it’s a rollercoaster ride running the whole gamut of those emotions and everything in between. That’s what this move has been like. Our house was on the market for six months, which … Continue reading A New Beginning
Trying to Balance Two Major Life Events
It has been ten days since Sister Lost was launched and is now available on Amazon. To all those who have purchased the book, thank you. It means more to a new author than you can imagine. All I would humbly ask you to do is post a review on Goodreads, if you have it, … Continue reading Trying to Balance Two Major Life Events

Adventures In Publishing – Part 3

I tried as hard as I could to learn out how to create an ebook cover and a paperback cover, which I didn't do too bad at, except it ended up being in a format non-compatible with publishing. The task of typesetting … Continue reading Adventures In Publishing – Part 3
Adventures In Publishing – Part 2
I've come to realize that until you have done something for the first time, it is never as simple as you think it will be. Self-publishing has become more complicated than I thought possible. Why? To be honest, part of this is due to the fact I am a recovering perfectionist. My first novel must … Continue reading Adventures In Publishing – Part 2
Adventures In Publishing – Part 1
In my last blog post, I completed the line editing of my book manuscript and hired a professional proofreader to do the proofreading editing. After two marathon zoom calls, we finished the process, and I am extremely thankful for her input. I cannot stress strongly enough, how necessary it is to get another editor to … Continue reading Adventures In Publishing – Part 1

It's been a struggle, but I am committed to seeing them become a reality, so I plug away at my own speed, which often resembles that of a turtle. Such is my … Continue reading My Adventures In Editing – Part 5
