More on THE PAPER ROSE CLUB
Four best friends. One small town. A lifetime of memories. Nothing could ever come between them…or so it would seem.

Experience the heartaches and joys of living connected lives within the cozy confines of the town square and city limits. You’ll laugh and you’ll cry; but most of all, you won’t want to leave because Honeycomb will worm its way into your heart, carrying you home to that place that you never really left.

The Paper Rose Club
It has been a busy year...and it's only May! In November of last year, my mom and I launched a new project called THE PAPER ROSE CLUB. We wanted to do something that would stretch us to the limit...and it has. We undertook the tremendous challenge of releasing a book online...writing it as we went. Every week since November, we've been releasing segments of the novel. Readers have been logging onto the site and giving us feedback. And we created the virtual town of Honeycomb to go along with it--complete with a newspaper and a sassy column by a bombshell redhead who was a former Miss Alabama.
This project has been both challenging and rewarding. We had hoped to stay at least four segments ahead to give us some breathing room, but due to a move, sickness, and all of the other crazy things that come up in day-to-day life, we've been writing it by the skin of our teeth--often staying up until late in the evening on Wednesday to meet the Thursday deadline. Most of this week's segment was written on a plane, with me wedged between two strangers and crossing my fingers that the guy drinking the beer wouldn't spill it all over my laptop.
We love the storyline and the characters! This story has emerged organically because we don't have as much time to plan. It has a fresh feel to it that might not otherwise have been there. If you haven't had a chance to read it, you can check it out at www.paperroseclub.com. HAPPY READING, and be sure to drop us a line.

Thank Goodness for Friends
Thank Goodness for Friends
I was just thinking today how wonderful it is to have good friends. I'm venturing into uncharted territory and am three fourths of the way finished with writing my first stage play. I'm grateful for the help and advice of a good friend who has an extensive background in theater. She's helping me iron out all of the rough spots--and, trust me, there are many! The play is based on the true story of an amazing lady who had the courage to step out into dark to find the light. It's aptly named "Into the Light." Some stories are great through the telling, and others are just simply great through the sheer merit of the story. This is one of those stories that only comes to an author once in a lifetime. I just hope that at the end of the day, I will have done it justice.
