How Did I Get Here From There?
In 2002 when I started writing, my one and only love was speculative fiction. It was nearly all I read, and the only thing I could think of to write. I wobbled back and forth between fantasy and science fiction for my first five manuscripts. By then I began to feel I was working out…

Gloves on for Round Three!

Cool–and fun! What an enjoyable way to write…
It IS fun. The link takes you to a post about Inspiration Boards and shows the full one for Snowflake Tiara. It takes a while to fill up the board, and I don’t have that much (yet) for Sweetened with Honey. I will likely keep adding to it over the next few months. Such as…I know I need a timeline of Raspberries and Vinegar and Wild Mint Tea and the time in between…
