Have you ever taken a personality test? Back in high school, I was an ENFP. Now, I lean more toward ISTJ. Somehow, in the past 15 years, I’ve completely flopped all of my letters. (Sometimes I think I’m a narcissistic sociopath, but that’s another story.) My sis-in-law calls me the girl with a hundred hobbies….
An Apology to the #AtoZChallenge
Apologies, because certain delivery expectations failed. Grand hopes, ill-fated. Just know, life means numerous options. People quit regularly. Strike this unfortunate venue with X. Yours zealously, Loni Townsend In case you couldn’t understand my horribly constructed sentences—sheesh, I could barely figure them out—I withdraw from the A-to-Z Challenge. Too many doctors appointments are messing with…
Cool Kid’s Table – Guest Post
I have the great honor of presenting a guest post from one of my friends, Jim Lambert. If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you may know that I’m part of a local critique group, and that these people have impacted and enriched my life. When Jim emailed a few of us with this…
Things About Me
Before I get into the main post, I wanted to ask that you please check out The Ancient. I was fooling around this last weekend, and found that you can almost read my whole story in the preview. And as a writer, I have that deep-seated desire to be read. Even if you don’t pick…

Signing Recap and a Chance to Win
Whooboy! I think I’ve finally gotten a breather. My house is clean, my family’s illness has reduced to the occasional sniffle and cough, and my husband fixed the leak beneath the bathroom sink that was threatening to flood our downstairs. Life is good. The signing last Thursday was fantastic. I met a few new people,…
Life’s a beach, and then you… #IWSG

Pre-Orders and Outlining
Life at the Town’s End is whirlwind. My family and I are still sick (going on 3 months of rotating symptoms now), but since time doesn’t have a pause button, we’re carrying on as usual. I want to say next week’s book signing is first and foremost on my writing mind, but unfortunately, it’s not….

But during the tour, people had a couple of opportunities to win a free e-book of This World Bites if they guessed correctly when I lied. First was at Melissa Maygrove’s: 1. After graduating high school, I…
