Me in 2020 Me in 2021 So it’s been just over a year since I left my day job office thinking I’d be back in a week or two. I’m sure I’m not alone. The pandemic tipped all of our lives upside down. Everyone’s had to figure out a new “normal”. For me and mine, […]

Reading Time with Jami?
If you’re like me, you have suddenly found yourself confined or semi-confined to your humble abode. In my case, my day job has us working from home through May at this point. While I am getting my words down on the new Arcane Transporter series, there is only so much reorganizing a house can take. […]

Just wanted to take a moment and wish all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving from mine to yours. May you and your loved ones enjoy a laughter-filled day of good eats and even better company!

Okay, so that’s not really true. I know, shocker right? It’s that time again, when a fresh and shiny new year appears at our door and the past year is packing up in the room behind us. Like many other writers and bloggers out there, I have to give 2018 a grateful hug, as a […]

Howdy all. I know, I know, I’ve been a poor blog host not positing anything in like–forever. Unfortunately that is what happens when real life decides to switch over to the fast lane. It takes forever to find a safe spot to slide back into the middle lane. Two good bits of news: The contract […]

I had a lovely plan for our traveling circus this year, but that plan was quickly derailed as first one monkey made a break for it with the others quickly following his example. Now they’re running amok leaving my circus a mess. Such is the nature of adulting. The oldest of the Prankster Duo successfully […]

When you hear the word ‘family’, your knee jerk response may be to define the word as ‘individuals connected via DNA’. Mine’s not. Now, I could say it’s because my own personal familial journey is far from conventional, but I’m not so sure. I think as we get older, we redefine the world around us, […]
Continue readingAfter “THE END” Comes #writing
No better words are ever typed by a writer than “THE END”. This is when the writer finally resurfaces and blinks myopically around at the real world after being fully submerged in their story filled heads. I’m happy to admit I have finally hit this stage with CAUGHT IN THE AFTERMATH, the third book in […]

In case you haven’t figured it out, I’m a writer. Which means words to me are like clothes to a fashionista, books to a librarian, bacon to pups, and a slime trail to a snail. Throughout my life, they help me get my point across during conversational gambits, much like painting a auditory picture so […]
