Celebrating You!
The quandary of a writer is engaging the reader with increasing odds against the hero that don't turn into a series of comic book whams, bams, and zowies. How does one do that exactly?
Evoke emotion. Not every scene needs larger-than-life action. Connecting with the human heart is every bit as engaging and oftentimes the largest hurdle a character can overcome.

One of the benefits of blogging is one that I never expected . . . to connect with my readers on a personal level. I'm of stoic Norwegian blood. Hug? What the heck is that?
So it's rare that I choke up or get all teary eyed, but doggone if I'm not seriously blown away by you, my readers. I've made some fantastic cyber buddies (waving at y'all) just by whipping out my computer each night and typing some random nugget of writerly wisdom that I've learned the hard way. The comments. The emails. Yeah. Someone pass me a box of Kleenex already.
So, a HUGE thank you to everyone who's roamed the writerly neighborhoods with me over the past five years. **lifts mug of steaming apple cider, which is what I happen to be slogging back at the moment** Cheers to you, readers! Couldn't do this without you. Well, I could, but that would be pretty pathetic.
And in your honor, don't forget to enter to win your very own copy of one of my books.
