Writer, shower singer, and all around goof. Current trial lawyer and former appellate attorney. Oh... and... I have a SERIOUS shoe addiction.

When I am not writing, I sing in the shower- terribly, inadvertently kill all the flowers & shop for high end shoes at bargain prices on the internet. I love dogs. Dirty martinis are my preferred drink. Good friends & good conversation over a good meal is the ideal way to spend any free time.

Open Road…

... to be rereleased with a new cover on Kindle Unlimited sometime in the next few weeks. I am thinking December or early January. This is the story of Zoe Akio, motocross rider, who's always been an outsider. Never fitting in completely. Marching to the beat of her own drummer. So it's…

Couldn't sleep. Insomnia while not at home hits different. Like you are messing up my time away from the HOME, damnit! #5AMWritersClub

I'm in Seattle for a quick trip. Which when I planned it several months ago seemed like a great idea. I had NO IDEA the government would shut down. I had NO IDEA that it would last so long. And I had NO IDEA it would impact air travel. Or I might've chosen differently several months ago. Maybe not.🤷‍♀️

It snowed for the first time yesterday and last night. The snow is like a gorgeous new blanket making everything shiny and bright. I LOVE how the moon reflects off snow. Ambient light everywhere. #5AMWritersClub

I've need to get my writing mojo back. I've been stressed and overworked at the day job so the after hours creative portion isn't coming out to play nearly enough. That needs to change. #5AMWritersClub

Insomnia plus clocks back... equals such a fucking early morning.

Who started this daylight savings bullshit? Seriously. We need to stop changing clocks and just deal with the darkness of our days.

Listen, sometimes, especially during the holidays, I like to cook simply so that I can focus on fancy stuff for the actual holidays. One way of doing that is with a big pot of soup that you can use a lot of leftovers in. This recipe is going to call for certain things, like roasting off the pork before adding it into the soup because it give the pork and the soup extra flavor to do it this way.

Snow happened last night. We got snow dust a couple of days ago, so I knew it was coming.

Winter is coming, bitches.

And I am here for it all.

Woke up late. Also, not jet lag. I am trying to force my body into sleeping later in the morning. So I stayed up pretty late last night. I almost made it to the alarm. YAY! #5AMWritersClub

I have regular insomnia and not jetlag which is... kinda nice. Life is so weird.

Like how the fuck do I know that it's normal insomnia and not regular jet lag?!?!? But I do.

I like being early for #5AMWritersClub. Not TOO early, of course. Just the right amount of time early. Like this morning.

Kimchi Publishing

When I bought my ISBNs, they made me pick a publisher name. I thought about it and think I came up with the perfect name: Kimchi Publishing. Like me and my books, kimchi is spicy and good for you. So, if you see that name... well, now you know why and how it all came about. It…

So, if you see that name... well, now you know why and how it all came about. It was a gut reaction... pun intended... and keeps getting better with time.
