Read MoreAnd In Conclusion: Finishing a Novel
I’m writing the final pages of No River Too Wide. If my outline is correct (and it often isn’t at this stage) I have a dozen or so scenes to work into this final portion of the book to tie up my multiple plot lines. Multiple-Plot-Lines-R-Us, I’m afraid. Always and forever, amen. In a conversation…
Read MoreWhy I Love Quilt Shows
In a dead heat to finish No River Too Wide, and instead of blogging I thought I would share photos of Quilting Around Chautauqua this past weekend. I signed books at the Millcreek Sewing and Fabric booth both days. When I wasn’t signing and talking to my fabulous readers, I had a chance to see a…

Read MoreAgendas in Fiction. Really?
I always enjoy receiving email or letters from my readers. But a recent email really made me stop and think. Not so much because the questions were particularly disturbing, but because of the message behind them. Here’s how the email ended: Does your publishing company encourage a certain style of writing? A certain viewpoint? Do most…

Welcome to my new blog feature, Fiction Friday, where on Fridays–whenever I can–I’ll share a snippet from a novel I’m writing or have written.
