A New Beginning

Hi Everyone!

It’s my first blog post. Ahhh! I’m not sure I’m going to be very good at this but let’s give it a go. So I have a couple of goals for the blog, so I figured I would share them with you now. The goal is going to be to post semi-often, probably around twice a month (about the same amount I plan on sending out newsletters). I will have four categories of features: Adventures with Patrick, Writing, Author Life, and Reading. I will probably have some general post that don’t necessarily fit neatly into one of these categories, but these are my four boxes I want to put my blog into.

Adventures with Patrick will be a feature about our dog Patrick. We have four dogs, two of them absolutely hate the car, one cries like she is being murdered and the other essentially has a panic attack. The other pup, well he’s disinterested. But Patrick, loves a car ride. Even if we never get out of the car. He loves an adventure. Be it a fast food stop, a trip to Petsmart, he loves going to the vet (he’s a weirdo and they love him), trips outside, basically anywhere any trip is an adventure for Patrick. And he loves every second of it. My husband, Ken, who I’m sure you will learn more about later, and I decided we are going to be better pet parents this year. So we listed all the things each individual dog, what they needed, their special needs, and what they love. And for Patrick it’s an adventure. So he gets his own monthly blog feature.

Writing is going to be any post about the writing process and possibly any promo for future books. Here is where you will find little tidbits about the books, where I am at in the process, plans for future books, basically if it has to do with writing you will find it here.

Author Life is going to be features about my life. Truth is, I’m kind of boring. I live a very intentionally drama free life. But I will try my best to be interesting. There will probably be some information on my health, I’m three years into recovering from a massive brain injury, and a lot of my life still revolves around recovery. I like trying new recipes, so I will probably share a few here. We have a ton of DIY projects on the to do list, so I may talk about them on here for accountability. Just the stuff about my life.

Reading is going to be all about my reading. I know, very self-explanatory. I read a lot and I always wish I had someone to talk to about some of the books I read. And once upon a time I used to run a book blog, and I worked a little in publishing, so I want to showcase as many other authors out there as possible. So I will try and do that here.

If there is anything else you want to see from me or hear from me please feel free to leave a comment here or you can always click the contact tab up at the top and drop me a line in private. I will be publishing blog posts on Monday and the first one will be next Monday, October the 5th and it’s going to start with Adventures with Patrick.

See you all soon!
