To paraphrase the immortal words of Sally Field: I like it, I really like it. What is it that I like so much? Being an author. Let me explain with a couple of stories. Story #1. Years ago, I began working with a coach. I told her that my deepest desire was to publish a […]
I owe you guys a blog post. I've been guest posting and interviewing all around the internet (thank you, everyone) and, indeed, I have one more interview coming up on Tuesday, one I'm very excited about. But in the hoopla around my book release I've not spent a lot of time, here, at home base, […]
First of all, I've got a guest post over at Always Well Within today. If you don't know Sandra's blog, you should.

This is a guest post from my new Nashvillian friend Leisa Hammett, an amazing author, speaker, and disability advocate. She dragged treated me to a five-mile hike on Sunday at Shelby Bottoms on a glorious Nashville day and we discussed blogging, writing and life. More on that in a future post. For now, enjoy her […]
In the most recent edition of my newsletter, The Abundant Writer, I wrote a feature article called 7 Simple Steps to Write Your Book. (For those of you who don't subscribe to the newsletter, there's a spiffy little box on the upper right-hand corner of this page.) I based it on the new free report […]
