Telling the stories of women
I’m having a staycation this week and I had the fortune of watching the Ascent of Woman hosted by Dr. Amanda Foreman. Foreman brings to life a plethora of amazing and influential women who made their voices heard and exerted considerable power in their worlds. The entire series is completely fascinating and it made me […]
New Avenues
A lot of writers may focus on a single genre, but I want to be one of the few that covers multiple genres. I have a lot of stories to tell and they don’t fit into any one genre. I feel like I have too many ideas to limit myself and even if not all […]

Quick update :)
Just a short post today, I’m knee deep in plotting. Writing a second book in the same series is a little more complicated than writing the first. You have to be vigilant against inconsistencies and it takes some careful tracking of characters, events and descriptions. The next book in the Olympian Confessions universe is my […]
