Updated Covers

Occasionally, I enjoy updating my book covers, so during this downtime of COVID-19, I applied myself to doing just that. The first series I updated was the RED ROCKS TRILOGY, and the second was FINDING HOME. I also released the third novella in the JOURNEYS OF THE HEART SERIES.

During this season of seclusion I find myself reflecting on what is truly important -- family, friends, compassion, nature Read more of this blog post »

Verna’s Quotes

“Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”
― William Faulkner

“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”
