How do you organize your story ideas? For me, the best way to organize is with color.

I'll use blue-inked pens or blue sticky notes to help me remember what questions I have about a story. (Why did the donkey steal the boy's hat? What is the importance of the hat?)

Pink sticky notes or red-inked pens are often what I have forgotten when it comes to punctuation. (Did I remember to put quotes around the boy's explanation? Should I italicize the donkey's bray?)

I rate "Taming Wild Hearts" FIVE stars. It's a wonderful read full of suspense, horses, and romance! I can hardly wait for the sequel to find out what happens next to Luke, Bree, and Cinnarue the Curly Sulphur mustang!

I am super excited to participate in the cover reveal for The Sun Still Rises, a charity anthology honoring the late Lani Forbes, author of the Seventh Sun trilogy.

I had the honor to meet Lani Forbes at the Realm Makers 2021 conference and she definitely shined light where others would see darkness.
