One Hundred

rise of orion

A quick summary of my current existence.

I adore strong coffee, The Fray, long drives in the country, and compelling stories about humans. Most of my writings are epic fantasy or historical fiction, but occasionally I get distracted by a thriller or short story project. My most recent novel, Blood of Ashlin (the final installment in the SERENGARD series) is just a little bit gritty with a dose of redemption. I live in Maine with my husband and kids. Together we grow roses and spinach.

My favorite jobs are the ones we do together. In 9 1/2 years of married life, he has had much pulling him one way, I have had much pulling me another. He is practical and driven. I am artsy and often go the long way around. It can be hard to synchronize. We've worked at it. Worked and worked at it. If every day is ice cream, the days we spend working together are whipped cream, nuts and a cherry.

Moody Maine.

Some things bloom all winter. Other things, like aphids, hibernate all winter and attack the spinach first thing in April. #latergram #fromMarchactually

I know it's cliche to say, "Don't blink, it goes so fast." But really. Don't. It does.

Fresh Calendula flowers infusing in Sweet Almond Oil. This is the one thing that is blooming in my greenhouse (no, YOUR January is looking pretty!) and it's making me grin every time I walk past it. *Hugs to @_amandaolivieri for reminding me of the meaning of seasons. 💛
