We've all been told to never throw anything away. Well, it's so true. One of my first manuscripts, ignored for a long time, I pulled out...dusted it off, and gave it a second look.

Now, it's available from Vanilla Heart Publishing!…

If you lost every material item you had, would you want it all back, or would you do it differently?

The knife at her throat didn’t frighten Scarlet Anderson. In fact, it was a relief. Finally, she didn’t have to worry any longer about living another empty day. She’d be reunited with the ones she…

I listened to your radio interview today for Loves Chance and really enjoyed it! It was so great getting a peak into your personal inspirations through your voice. I would love to get some information on your experience with your publisher, how the publication has paid off for you. Again, really enjoyed the show, keep up the great work of self-promotion!

I have been kind of started/appalled/concerned by the lack of discussion of the race issue here. It wasn't just women who were ignored, but nonwhite people (with one exception), and it is an equal outrage. Would you consider doing a blogpost expanding a bit on the comment you left for me? I'd love to feature it on the main page of She Writes.

Warm best,
Kamy
