I have been thinking about writing a short novella as a supplement to the series. Kind of a stand alone about a character. It could be one of the main characters at a time in their lives when we didn’t see them or a minor character at a time in their life you want to …

Happy Monday!
Good morning! I was at an author/reader event over the weekend, spending time with authors and meeting some amazing readers. While there, I participated in some really interesting panel discussions, one of which had an important impact on me. It was a panel on creating supporting characters who sometimes take over with books/stories of their own. …
I have a request :)
For those of you who have read my books, I will be doing a live read next Saturday at a book fair. I want to read from part of the series that is funny or suspenseful. It can be from any book at all- even Broken. Any suggestions? Even if you don’t know which book …
A diagnosis and a choice

I remember numerous times when I was writing and my family would see me looking puzzled and ask what was wrong. “I’m just not liking Sabrina right now. I don’t understand her anymore.” …
Desiderata Yearling
It was a year ago that I first introduced Desi and her father to my readers. It was far earlier than that when I met her. Desi came to me in the midst of rediscovering the series and moving the characters forward 9 years. I needed a spark for the teens in order to advance …
