Until next time,

I feel so much joy at being able to announce this! I didn’t think I would ever be able to do this. It has always been one of my dreams to get one of my novels ‘out there’, and here we are.
However, this is far from a traditional publishing route. As you may know, I have been writing for a local digital magazine “Mag Pie”. I will continue writing for the magazine, but in addition to my other submissions I will now publish a chapter of my novel in each new issue!
The first chapter is now live, you can read it by clicking on the link below! I do hope you like it, and I hope you will enjoy taking this journey with me! It is my goal that once the story is completed through Mag Pie, I will self-publish it! Wish me luck!

Good evening everyone,
I am happy to announce the 5 winners of the Writers of the Cedar Valley 2018 Anthology Giveaway! These individuals will be the first to receive any of my works in print, and I am so excited to share it with you all!
As I have mentioned in previous posts, I plan to do a giveaway each time I am published, so keep an eye out for future giveaways. If you follow my site, you are entered each time for the giveaway. I put all your names/emails in and draw 5 at random.
This particular anthology I am excited to share as it also contains the works of other local writers. I am a member of this group and I can promise you there are many amazing stories waiting for you!
Without further ado, the winners:
Congratulations!
If you are a winner, please use the “Contact” tab on the website to send me your information so I can mail you a FREE SIGNED COPY of the anthology! Thank you again to all of you for your support and lovely comments on my works. Hopefully this will be the first of many publications to come!

Good evening!
As promised, now that the print copies of the Writers of the Cedar Valley 2018 Anthology are in, I will be doing a giveaway for you, my followers. On Wednesday, May 8th, I will put the names of all of you following this site via email or WordPress into a hat and draw five at random. Those five individuals will get a FREE Signed Copy of the Anthology mailed to them as a thank you for your support and interest in my work! I will make a post of the winners, so be sure to keep an eye out for it (especially on how to get me your information so I can mail it)!
As for those of you who don’t get drawn, there is only one other way you can get a copy of the anthology. It will only be available through the Cedar Falls (Iowa) Public Library Book Nook. It will NOT be sold online, so be sure to reach out to the Public Library if you didn’t get drawn and would like a copy.
Thank you again for all your support. I hope to have more stories and giveaways soon!

I am so excited to have this little piece of fiction published through Mag Pie. Mag Pie is a local digital magazine that is free to view and subscribe to. Each of their issues has a different theme, last issue was cozy, this issue is creativity. I had considered writing for the magazine for a while now, volunteering my stories and articles, but I just had to jump in feet first when I saw the new issue theme.
Be sure to check out the newest issue where you can read my short story “Blink of an Eye”, an article I wrote about my local writer’s group, and other works from others in the area.
Thank you for the support!
