Discovery!

I have recently been introduced to a new artist...she is a native Texan (which I was shocked I hadn’t heard of her before now!) but currently resides in Oregon: Irene Hardwicke-Olivieri.
Here is her website if you want to discover her too! Her work is fascinating and to me resonates the free spirit of Austin (one of the places mentioned that she studied in) throughout many of her pieces.
My personal favorite, though it was hard to choose one: Fruits of the manatee…positively breathtaking.

November already!

i hadn't realized it was November already and i hadn't posted anything this month! i better get cracking!
the good news is, i am thoroughly excited about my second book and it's characters. they truly are haunting me to get this story down. i know that might sound strange but when i write, i think about them all the time. so it's been hard to set aside georgia and heath, but beta and joshua beckon! ha! it's funny how your characters become such a huge part of who you are. i'm glad though b/c it means that i care about what happens to them and hope that my readers do as well.
thanks for all the followings on twitter and goodreads. it's nice to be in the company of great folks!
