When Writing Takes you into the Deep Waters

As many of you know, I’m in the process of writing my second Viking historical novel, Forest Child. As a select few of you also know, I have deliberately tried to back-burner it for several months (years?), simply because I knew my main character’s real life story (Freydis Eiriksdottir) and I knew it was going to be hard to write….

Why I Write Flawed Main Characters

It’s an interesting experience, writing in first person. You see, when you write in first person, the reader is in your main character’s head. And, well… SOMETIMES READERS DON’T LOVE YOUR MAIN CHARACTER. Sometimes your main character does things less than heroic. Sometimes your main men might not say something when they should. Sometimes your main women might not be… Read More

Things that made me happy this week: my willow tre Things that made me happy this week: my willow tree, steadily growing bigger every year; bought myself a copy of Sunrise on the Reaping (but am I really feeling dystopian enough to read it? Not yet); my first irises of spring; and finally an Etsy decal Iโ€™m thinking about getting for my car since Iโ€™m such a #tombraider fan and still playing through #TombRaiderRemastered. What made you happy this week? #authorsofig #authorlife #writerofinstagram #westvirginiawriter #wvmountainmomma #wvauthor #southernwv #gamergirls #gamermom  #springflowers #appalachianspring
If you know me or have read any of my #WestVirgini If you know me or have read any of my #WestVirginia-set books, youโ€™ll know Iโ€™ve been taken with #TheGreenbrierResort from the moment I first visited it. Itโ€™s only an hour from me in #greenbriercountywv. Every year, I love walking around the grounds to see the #tulipsโ€”my favorite flowerโ€”and this year we caught them at just the right time. If you want to read about it in my books (I do on-the-spot research), check out Undercut and Deadlocked in my #hemlockcreeksuspense series or Fair Trade in my #BarksandBeansCafe #cozymystery series, among others. Setting books in the lovely town of #LewisburgWV is so funโ€”plenty of great shops and restaurants there, and if youโ€™re ever in town, be sure to drop by The Greenbrier! #authorsofinsta #authorlife  #westvirginia #wildandwonderfulwv #wvauthor #appalachianspring #tulips #tulipsofinstagram #tuliplover๐ŸŒท #silversisters #marriedloveofmylifeโค๏ธ #heatherdaygilbertbooks #mysterylover
Iโ€™m making two separate things that made me happ Iโ€™m making two separate things that made me happy posts this weekโ€”the second will be pics of a quick trip to #TheGreenbrierResort to look at the #tulips. But here are some of my own tulips pics and other things I enjoyed this week: 1) got to get #coffee @otterandoakwv cafe with my daughterโ€”always enjoy looking at artwork and the relaxing atmosphere. 2) if youโ€™re from #WestVirginia, you can guess what these areโ€”I cooked some up with fried potatoes this week. Anyone have a favorite ramp recipe to share? 3) my Rembrandt tulips that have candy cane colors, 4) my loud yet loving #flametipsiamese #cat Westley, 5) my grandsonโ€™s onesie that cracked me up, 6) more Rembrandt tulips from my #flowerbed. More to come with a tulip/Greenbrier photo dump soon! #authorsofig #authorlife #flowerstagram #wildandwonderfulwv #appalachianspring #catsofinstagram #cafe #wvauthor #wvrampseason
