"Since the Baby Came"
Writing For Your Life Interview with Kate Rademacher

I so enjoyed sharing the experience of writing and publishing Since The Baby Came with Kate Rademacher, CEO of Writing for Your Life: Resources for Spiritual Writers. Watching the interview is a marvelous way to hear insights about the book and illustrations. I also, read the "Look At Me" poem!

Books & Such Literary Agency Retreat
May 7-10, 2023

I attended a fabulous retreat in Savannah, Georgia, with the Books & Such Literary Agency. My wonderful agent, Rachel Kent, works with this agency. We enjoyed inspiring speakers, open table discussions, and time for fellowship, meals, and devotions. I felt invigorated to be with other writers in-person, which reminded me how much I have missed these interactions during the pandemic. This was my first retreat with Books & Such, and I will look forward to the next one in a few years!
