Some writers I know prefer to work in windowless rooms.
Not me! I like feeling connected to the outside world. Glimpses of changing weather and birds aren't distractions.
I think books are windows too, giving readers a peek into another time, another place, another circumstance.
I hope that the books I write can provide you with that experience.
With that in mind, I'm excited to share my latest news!

Start Your Novel Sure And Strong
Eighty percent of people want to write a book, but many of those who dream of writing a novel aren't sure how to begin.
That's why I'm excited about leading a writing workshop this month!
In this workshop we'll contemplate elements of fiction to consider before starting a novel: compelling characters, point-of-view, narrative distance, setting, plot structure, creating scenes and chapters, and whether or not to outline.
Write On, Door County is sponsoring Start Your Novel Sure And Strong, which will be held
Saturday morning, February 25th. For location and registration details, click HERE.
