I want to apologize for being MIA for the past couple of years. Life has been crazy and as much as I feel that is an excuse sometimes we use to just not do things, it truly has been crazy. Within the last few years, I have changed careers, gone back to school to work on my doctorate all the while still writing.

As I move forward with my newest series, Memories of Murder, I am reminded of why I started writing. The passion I feel when a new story idea comes to me and the planning of writing the story. Over the past few years I have come to realize how much sometimes we let life just get in the way of the things we are passionate about. The reality is we find time for the things that we want to find time for and it’s time for me to be immersed in my writing again.

In that vein, I have booked myself a writer’s retreat. Going away for a few days to start the next book and to find inspiration. I’ll be keeping up the blog as I find my inspiration again and come back to my passion of writing. So next week, I’ll be at Tybee Island, Georgia and join me as I search for my inspiration among the beaches, lighthouses and a few quiet moments.
