Scooting Around Denver

Every time I head into Denver, I see loads of people scooting around on these pick up and go electric scooters. So today, my son and I finally gave them a go. I’m pictured here with one of the Lime scooters, Matthew had a Bird model. Must say, it was tons of fun. Especially when… Read more »

Linger in Denver

Took this picture outside of Linger and Little Man Ice Cream before Sunday brunch. Linger is one of my favorite Denver brunch locations (and the ice cream at Little Man is divine…well worth any line). I love Linger’s old mortuary vibe, great food, and fantastic service.

It’s the time where I feel the least pressure because ANYTHING is possible and I can really let my mind wander, create, and dig into the psyche of my characters without… Read more »

Something Had To Give

Something Had to Give

Since becoming a mother, a wife, and a woman who charges into things, I have always tried to find balance in my life. Between my job, kids, husband, writing, friends, physical and mental health–I would say that, in the past, I achieved something close to balance maybe fifteen percent of the time. Mostly I felt… Read more »

Quote: Emilia Fox

I never feel lonely if I’ve got a book – they’re like old friends. Even if you’re not reading them over and over again, you know they are there. And they’re part of your history. They sort of tell a story about your journey through life. —Emilia Fox

Quote: Charlotte Lamb

I am interested in writing how women really feel, how they really think, and how they respond to men. I don’t want men reading my books because they might find out too much. —Charlotte Lamb
