White fisherman boots are as common around here as flip flops and Nike’s. Called by locals: Wanchese Go Go Boots, Low Land Nike’s, Fisherman Dress shoes, etc. These boots are great when you are working on the water or in the case of the last few days, walking in snowy muck. Today I’ve traded in my Go Go boots for a more stylish pair of … Continue reading Wanchese Go Go Boots

I say taxes and I can hear most of you groan. People are always complaining about having to pay the government a percentage of their hard-earned money. I’ve probably complained about it myself. But signing up to pay sales tax to the North Carolina Department of Revenue wasn’t just about giving the state my money. It was a milestone. I’m celebrating paying taxes because it … Continue reading Celebrating Paying Taxes
My time with my agent ended somewhat abruptly. At first, I was devastated and depressed, but I soon realized she’d done the right thing.

Contemporary romance, especially the subgenres of romantic mysteries, thrillers and … Continue reading I Thought I was a Romance Writer

“Santa Claus!” Molly exclaimed. “Oh mommy, can I go tell Santa what I want for Christmas? Please.” Five-year old Molly tugged on her mother’s hand. Callie bit her lip and stared at the mall Santa in his red suit. What’s the point, there will be no Christmas for us. “We have time Callie,” her cousin Rose said. “Let’s take the girls to visit Santa and … Continue reading Molly’s Christmas Wish (an original short-story)
I’m not sure how I ended up writing a feminist novel. My main character, Rae Lynne Grimes, is a woman who can drive and repair anything from trucks to boats. She is a tough girl with a bad attitude. She is a fighter and a survivor. On the surface, she is as different from me as chrome is to pink. While writing Chrome Pink, I … Continue reading The Accidental Feminist
