Yes, that is but a small sampling of my mad gardening skills. And I know exactly what you’re thinking. Only someone who is genuinely mad, would call those gardening skills. Whelp, now you know who you’re dealing with. Never before have I planted a garden by myself. In all my 32 years of life, my…

The works I’ve undertaken – both completed and someday to be published.
Epilogue Complete
Hey! Did another week go by already? Seriously? Yeah, that’s how it goes anymore. I lose track of time like I do dust bunnies under the couch. It really shouldn’t surprise anyone, least of all me. But a week will come and go and I find myself standing in the wake of the dust going,…
Goals in the Works
It has been quiet on my end. But I assure you, you’re not forgotten. That’s why I’ve stopped by to give you a quick update on 2014’s goals in the works. You see, I’m setting out to prep my first novel for submissions this year. Which means more “nose to the grindstone” and less internet…

St. Patrick’s tale is one of encouragement because it’s a classic example of tragedy turned to triumph. What was meant for evil turned…
Tale of the Clans
As the series title suggests, Tale of the Clans seeks to give the perspective of not one, but the many clans thriving in 10th Century Ireland during the rise of the Dal Cais and their most infamous king, Brian mac Cennedigh (AKA Brian Boru). Readers will be swept away by the rich culture and genuine…
Introductions are in Order
There’s nothing quite like beginning a new adventure. For writers, there are many on which we can embark. The initial decision to become a writer is only a stepping stone into that vast realm.
