In Progress…
I have a typeset galley. A real one. With my name on it. And apparently, feelings I did not budget for.

My visit to Pata Negra ATL
Hey, y’all. It’s been a while. I’ve had a lot going on that I’ll go into in other posts. But I got something I wanna share on this Trials Tuesday. This past weekend, I was in Atlanta visiting my baby brother. He’d been telling me about a newly opened restaurant for a few weeks and…

Hide Not Your Talents…
“Hide not your talents, they for use were made. What is a sundial in the shade?” Benjamin Franklin These past several weeks have been a whirlwind of activity. First, I had been laser focused on completing a draft of a novel so I could share it with my generous early readers, but then … I…
