I'm doing a developmental edit on a GREAT thriller right now. I love it when tons of ideas come to me as I'm reading. This is going to be great!

We're off to California to visit my mom today. I haven't been there in five years. I'm excited but stressed about packing and getting these kids out of here...

This is my first time on blue sky. I’m a writer, a mom, and an editor. Lately, with all the political bs and personal struggles, I haven’t been writing. But I’m hopeful to find my friends here and meet some new ones!
