Just a new little logo using one of my drawings.
The next book starts a new series—The Maeburne Mountain Series. Coming Soon—before the holidays! It is a story about a quaint little mountain town.
Book Three is out now. Available in print and on Kindle. This is a twenty year update from book two. Book two was funny and filled with art. This book is heartwarming and real and genuine and all about pets and gardening and love.

I have added a blog again to my website for all those visiting if anyone is interested in the behind the scenes of the writing process and why I have chosen to write and offer products etc. Check it out if interested. I’m not sure why people come to the website. Are you looking for a gift? Do you want to purchase the book? Are you just wondering what the person you once knew is up to? Are you just wanting to be in the know? Well, hey no matter what! Look around! Ask questions in the contact section. I have some super fun fall gift ideas for cozy fireplace reading days. I will be sharing those soon.
This is just a little watercolor hummingbird I created a few years ago connecting with my Texas roots. I’m sharing here because I have been looking back at all of my hummingbird paintings because of Making Room.
The next book has lots of sketches like this and much more art, and it is way more humorous. I eased in with the first book, and this one is full force my humor and my way of thinking about art and life and joy! Coming Soon!
Editing and proofreading Making Room on the back porch with the hummingbirds.
This is a part of the next book, a type of hint like the hummingbird for the last book.
For all who may be wondering, this was a silly attempt at using oil pastels to create a beach scene. The horizon isn’t straight, but I still framed it and it is hanging in my family room because I can always use the reminder that imperfect things are still of value and importance and worthy of love. I do see its beauty too. I have stood on the beach and seen the sun glimmer on the water and even on the sand and I love the look and that feeling. In those moments it makes me feel like I have some part in the revealing of a new day. Keep scrolling to see two of my favorite beach oil paintings.
I miss the beach when I have not been in a while. I have chosen to enjoy my own yard and the pool near us while I have stayed home to focus on the book release and while I finish up book two. Above are two of my favorite pieces that I have sold along my painting journey. I miss these pieces because they were each a labor of love. These both have a piece of my heart and soul mixed in with the paint. The owners will never know what went into each piece. Art works that way. Life works that way. We work that way. We may look at something or someone and think we know, but there is no way we can ever really know.
This and the picture below are both hints about Book 2. I cannot wait to share the title and the cover with you all. This book has been such fun to write. This book is funnier and has has even more art, Art, and heart!
