Last year, I took my first job in the corporate world. I’m loving it, but there’s a lot I have to learn…and some things I never want to learn. Last week, while most of us were in a meeting, three of our employees got laid off. (We were told in the meeting right after it […]
I’m going to avoid talking about the lengthy, brutal winter that most of us are still experiencing to tell you about my new book, A Subtle Grace. It’s the sequel to my second novel, In Name Only, and continues the story of the wealthy and unconventional O’Donovan Family in the year 1896. At 19, Kathleen […]
Last month, I talked about beginnings and how important they are to drawing the reader in to your book. It seems appropriate to continue on to story middles today. Middles ought to be pretty simple. After all, it’s the stuff that happens between the beginning and the end. Many authors, however, struggle with middles. There’s a term […]
As those on the CWG FB page know, I started working full-time for a product review site called TopTenREVIEWS. It’s a really fun place to work, and I learn a lot of stuff that I can apply to writing. One of those things is the intricacies of Google. As a website that is making its […]

How do you craft a beginning that doesn’t bog down, one that keeps the reader engaged? There are several schools of thought regarding beginnings. Depending on the genre, the beginning can create […]
My husband and I are catching up on Arrow. For those that don’t know, this is a TV show about the comic book hero, the Green Arrow, and it’s really pretty good, with multiple complex story lines and good writing. I’ve yet to determine what draws every villain from the League of Assassins to mad […]
So you’ve decided to write a book! You might attack the admittedly daunting task the way I did the first time around: I started with what I thought happened first, wrote it, then what I thought happened next, wrote it, and repeated until I got to about 300 pages. I will say now that I […]
Happy New Year! At the last CWG Board Meeting, Board members decided to make a plea for more volunteers. Now that the Guild has over 500 members, the Board has come to realize that only about 20 members are doing 95 percent of the work of the Guild. All of us are volunteers, many of […]
