I worried about it all week. My reading at the Spalding MFA residency was scheduled for 4 PM on Friday, as part of the alumni homecoming weekend. Six alums who had recently published books would read and afterward, sell and sign books. And I was nervous. Nervous because I’d spent the week immersed in the […]
Good Morning. How does that cup of coffee you've got clutched in your hand taste? Wouldn't it be even zestier if you had some scintillating reading material to accompany it? Yes? I have just the thing for you. I've got an interview up today over at Jessica Nottingham's blog, Hopelessly Devoted Bibliophile, in which I […]
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, […]

I'm directing you away from my blog today, in order to read a guest post I wrote over at An Angel's Share. This is the blog of my dear friend, Terry Price. Terry is a wonderful writer and also a writing teacher and coach. He and I met through the Writer's Loft at MTSU. We […]
This has been an exciting week for me, what with the release of my debut novel, Emma Jean's Bad Behavior. I've been consciously working on staying open to receive the blessings of this event. I must admit, though, at times I've felt myself flying high, as if I'm no longer anchored to the earth. Or […]
Watch out, world, Emma Jean is here! Today is the official release day of my debut novel, Emma Jean's Bad Behavior. I promise we'll get back to regular programming (i.e., posts on writing and creativity and the writer's life) but for now indulge me while I celebrate. In truth, the novel has been available at […]
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. She writes about spiritual and personal development matters in a way that always makes me feel calm and peaceful. Just going to her space centers me. The topic of my guest post there […]
I've got a series of interviews and guest posts scheduled for the next couple weeks, all of them celebrating the release of my new novel, Emma Jean's Bad Behavior. The first of these is today! And I couldn't be happier that it is with my dear friend Karen Caterson, who blogs at Square-Peg People. Check […]
