Every hour you spend writing is an hour you don't spend worrying about your writing.

Superb historical romance, with a spiritual theme woven seamlessly throughout. I much enjoyed The Covered Deep and look forward to more from its author!

My philosophy on writing books is that if you learn only one new thing, or even get a new take on something you already know, it's worth it.

Write like you're in love. Edit like you're in charge.

Think of it as the Doorway of No Return. The feeling must be that your lead character, once she passes through, cannot go home again until the major problem of the plot is solved.
