Summer Newsletter

Greetings! Well, you can see that I have not updated the website yet. But, the good news is that the writing continues. As time permits, I plan to transition the website to be inclusive of the different writings in the works. Maybe when the next book comes out. :) (see below)

In my last newsletter, I mentioned a memoir that I have been writing. I recently received feedback from my editor--very exciting. I'm looking ahead to a release around Christmas. Below is an AI generated picture. I've sent several examples to an artist as inspiration. (same artist that did all the artwork for Treasure In A Field.)

Others projects that I have started: Treasure In A Field, Book II, Eloise (Middle-grade novel), Liminium (sci-fi), and second memoir focusing on faith and music.

This fall I will be speaking at the Wisconsin Writer's Association Fall Conference in Stevens Point, WI. My talk is called The Art of Observation. I'm excited to present and hang out with authors all weekend!

Thanks, as always. Peace to you!
