Networking
I had dinner with a good friend last night, and we ended up in a discussion about networking. After thinking about it in the shower this morning – because that’s where I do my deep thinking – I realized I gave her some incomplete advice. From the way I see things, there are three types…
The Semi Annual Social Media Rant and Solution Post
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about my online presence lately. From a business perspective, I get that I need to have an online presence. After all, how would I talk with you if not for social media? Thing is, more and more, I’m finding social media is messing with my mental health. It no…
Of Goals and Structure
Once upon a time, I had a great routine. I’d get up, head to Starbucks and write. I did this for several years, through several unpublished years and the first two published books. Sometime during published book #3 I got a dog. Pup-pup was awesome, but he made me feel guilty if I left him…

Building A Better Mental Ecosystem: Square Pegs
I finally figured it out – the whole going fallow thing. It isn’t so much about burning the weeds and allowing a new plant to grow as it is allowing the existing plants — the ones who are being choked by the weeds — to flourish. This sounds a lot like a duh kind of…
First Chapter Friday: Daring to Date the Boss
How do I love this story? Let me count the ways: 1) A character modeled after Tattoo. 2) Hockey, Dunkin Donuts, and New Hampshire references. 3) A hero who I loved beyond measure. 4) A single mom heroine juggling everything. Oh yeah, and it was a finalist for the Romantic Times Reviewer’s Choice Awards. Chapter…
