There’s something truly magical about the ocean – the rush of the waves, the salty breeze that tickles your skin, and the endless horizon that sparks imagination and fills every moment with pure joy. Beaches across the world invite us to relax, dream, and find inspiration – simple gifts for both young and old alike.
Exciting News from My Writing Desk!
Just as the beach inspires new stories and memories, so too does my writing journey evolve with exciting changes ahead…
First and foremost, thank you for being such enthusiastic followers of my children’s books—your support keeps my stories alive and inspires new adventures every day! Over the past few months, I’ve been dedicated to giving my beloved books a fresh look as they make their way to a wonderful new home with Plum Creek Press. The process takes perseverance and a bit of patience, but I feel truly blessed that Plum Creek Publishing is embracing so many of my stories!
What does this mean for you? Soon, you’ll get to see brand new editions of my books—bigger, bolder, and even more fun! I can’t wait for you to experience these fresh editions and the forthcoming Boomer Books series—keep an eye out for that big announcement and get ready to share the magic with your loved ones.
Thank you for continuing to read, share, and celebrate the joy of storytelling with me. Stay tuned for lots more magic!
Celebration
Recently, my sister-in-law planned a beautiful getaway for our family to Galveston, Texas; four days of sun, sand, and celebration! It was extra special because we marked my brothers’ 29th wedding anniversary with laughter and love, surrounded by those dearest to us.
Family – Galveston
Galveston isn’t just a beach for our family; it’s a treasure chest of childhood memories. My parents used to whisk us off to its sandy shores whenever they could. If time was tight, we’d dash to Sylvan Beach in La Porte, Texas, and enjoy every minute—proof that magic is always around the corner.
The Nook
One of my favorite moments was discovering what we call ‘the nook’ — perched at the top of the beach house, with sweeping views of sky and sea. It was the perfect place to write, letting new places and old memories blend together, and allowing inspiration to sneak in through the window
Spark
So here’s to finding your next spark, wherever the waves take you—and to cherishing every story yet to be told.
Exciting Fall Ahead: Interviews and Articles
Looking forward to kicking off a vibrant Fall season with a lineup of streaming show and podcast interviews featuring me, along with several upcoming magazine articles I’m thrilled to write. A heartfelt thank-you to publicist Mickey Milkeson at Creative Edge Publicity, whose dedication helps bring these exciting projects to life and connect us all.
