Posted on January 30, 2021 Leave a Comment
Some visitors to this website may not know about my first trilogy, The Flying Ponies, so I thought I would do a quick post. This is the back cover copy for Lift, the first book in the trilogy: For sixteen-year-old Charlotte Flynn, moving into the heart of the Michigan woods with her family is the […]
Book Issues

I know I haven’t posted here in quite some time, and I need to do better with that. I’ll fill you in on my issues with the second edition of Lift, the first novel in my Flying Ponies trilogy. I ordered some second editions for an author event that I ended up cancelling out of […]
A New Year Cometh

Here we are, on the cusp of a new year. We all have things we didn’t get done in 2018, things we never even got around to doing. Will those go on your 2019 resolutions list? Or did they turn out to be not as important as you thought? I’ve found that making resolutions rarely […]

The carousel horses in my trilogy, The Flying Ponies, are all based off real-life carousel horses. They are either aboard machines still in operation or in museums, where people can admire them. Some of them are on the carousel at the Grand Rapids Public Museum; their literary equivalents debut in Tilt, book two of the […]

Lift Launch!

So Saturday, April 21st, was my launch party at the Book Nook & Java Shop. I had my nervous breakdown the Tuesday before (Would anyone come? Would I sell any books?) Well, I had no reason to be nervous. I spoke for roughly twenty minutes on Coney Island, carousels, and writing Lift. My hubby recorded […]

It’s finally here: Lift officially releases! This day has been a long time coming; I’ve wanted to be an author for a long time now. If you’re in the vicinity of Montague, Michigan this afternoon, I will be at the Book Nook & Java Shop from 4:30-6 pm, talking a little about Coney Island carousels […]
Launch Day Approaches…

We are now T minus four days from launching Lift, first in the Flying Ponies trilogy. It is a great feeling to be here, this close, but I have to admit to you – a little frightening, too. As an indie (independent) author, my book isn’t debuting with all the fanfare a Big 5 book […]
