Hello. Happy June everyone.
I wanted to put a word out there that my second book, Hope with Stickers (book 2 in the Irony series) is currently unavailable. But hopefully not for long. I gave book 2 to a publishing company last April 2015 with great hopes and many promises from the firm of great things to come. However, that was not the case. It was not a good experience at all and very disheartening. I finally got the rights back to book 2, Hope with Stickers at the end of this past May. I am currently having it reformatted to match more with Book 1, getting a new spine and back cover designed. I really hope to have it back out there sometime in July.
Hope everyone is having a great June.

Hello. Happy one week before Christmas. I know, how can that be? Time is so fleeting. Always wishing for more of it, but yet missing the moments that count along the way.
There is a poem out there I wish I could remember the name of. I read it in a doctor's office once and it had a line in it about how we need to watch the clock less and start watching the precious moments with our children more. I'm not quoting it correctly, but the message stayed with me. A message that is hard to put into practice. I myself am a mom of two. I also am a first grade teacher and now an author. Every moment of every second is filled, if not with actual activities then with a running list of need to do items. More time to do what we need to do. Time. It is the one thing we love, hate, dread, stress over and cherish. Time.
"Time had falsely been a friend and a foe." This is what Miriam, my heroine, in my debut novel, Irony of Time, faces as she is given her chance of more. The opportunity to go back in her past and have more time with someone she had not only lost to death, but was the cause of her death. Is this opportunity a chance to change everything? To bend time to her will?
We all have moments we wish we could change or moments we wish we could have back to relive in order to be truly be in that moment. Miriam is given a chance at both.
Would you take that chance? Would you fight the will of destiny?
