Wake Up Call
I’ve been a bit MIA these past few days (pun intended). I’ve been under the weather and it’s given me a chance to, well, think a few things through. And I’m sure it’s no coincidence that I’m a few days shy of my 40th birthday. I write about female characters who are in their mid-life, [...]

I just didn’t think that a few extra bites of chocolate, McDonald’s, potato chips and all sorts of junk that seemed to call to me [...]
