Vacation Dreaming
It's getting to the time of the summer when most of our friends are on vacation (or just getting back from vacation or preparing to leave on vacation) and so...I'm dreaming of a vacation. Since we homeschool, we generally try…
I Love Typing “The End”
This weekend, I finally got to the very end of Operation Back-to-School. That's always such a good feeling! Fun fact: I don't actually type the words "the end" at the end of my manuscripts, but I do have a number…
Can you believe it’s July?

Operation Fireworks is now available! For those of you who preordered, it should be happily on your Kindle the next time you connect to your wifi. Everyone else, if you want to get it for $0.99, make sure you pop…
An #Excerpt from Operation Fireworks
If you're still considering pre-ordering Operation Fireworks, how about a little excerpt to whet your appetite? Jake locked the shed and slipped the key into his pocket. They had BB guns and BBs, paper targets, and sandbags. Though he wasn’t…
