Lucy: The New Yorker Magazine

I still remember the first time I saw the artwork that would eventually become the cover of Lucy’s story (Wherever Would I Be). It was a bit of a shock, seeing my character so clearly in the work of someone else – but there she was. I figured, having held this book with this coverContinue reading “Lucy: The New Yorker Magazine”

Goode vs Melville: Cover Reveal

To say I went on a rollercoaster with the cover of this book is an understatement. I have several Canva projects in a GvM folder. The last of which has sixty-eight designs on it. (Now, some of those are similar designs – copied and changed a bit here or there. Maybe a new font. MaybeContinue reading “Goode vs Melville: Cover Reveal”

A Story a Day: March 29-31, 2024

Here are the last few days of my #AStoryADay March 2024 challenge. As a reminder, the goal of all of this is to be exposed to stories I might not have otherwise come across – to experience new (to me) writers (though I’ll also do “not new to me writers but new to me storiesContinue reading “A Story a Day: March 29-31, 2024”

As a reminder, the goal of all of this is to be exposed to stories I might not have otherwise come across – to experience new (to me) writers (though I’ll also do “not new to me writers but new to me stories of theirs”).Continue reading “A Story a Day: March 22-28, 2024”

A Story a Day: March 1-7, 2024

In 2022, I made a goal (and met it!) to read a new story every single day for the entire year. It was a lovely experience, but it was a LOT of work to put together. Thus, I decided not to repeat it for 2023. Though as the year went on, I found I missedContinue reading “A Story a Day: March 1-7, 2024”

Killing Friends (on paper, of course)

When I opted to do the Kickstarter to raise funds for the cover of Wherever Would I Be, I was able to include some add ons to the project. This is a way for the project to earn extra money. I spent a lot of time checking out other projects to see what was commonContinue reading “Killing Friends (on paper, of course)”

Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: 3D

This year for Christmas, a couple of dear friends gifted me something that I never would have thought to get for myself – and I love that it shows how well they know me. (Thanks Cody and Jim!!! ❤) If you are new here and didn’t already know, I have a love of the storyContinue reading “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: 3D”

Winter Dance Party

Last night, I attended a tribute to Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and Big Bopper at the Riverside Ballroom in Green Bay, WI. This was not an event that would have probably caught my attention, despite my love for all things live music. But when my bestie asked if I’d want to go along with herContinue reading “Winter Dance Party”
