Pep Talk from The Replacements

So my son has a track meet today (districts) ~ big deal yadda yadda. I don’t write often about my family here because; well, that’s separate from me as a writer. However. It was sweet this morning. I’m giving him the pep talk. “Just finish in the top three.” They came in eighth in the preliminaries earlier this week. No one expects them […]

The perfect Tally for This Much Is True ~ NEW RELEASE

Source: kathychiu.tumblr.com via Doreen on Pinterest You wait patiently…(I know) for the next novel. The WIP (work-in-progress) takes a long while. There are reasons for that. It takes time for the story to come together, for one. I have a style that involves as much writing as thinking it seems. Here’s where my inspiration goes […]

Katherine’s quotes


"You know what they say about air and water when it comes to fire, don’t you?” she asks.
Now, I’m curious. She hasn’t spoken for the last ten minutes of the drive. “What?”
“Too much air blows out the fire. Too much water destroys it.”
I nod trying to determine what she’s really comparing us to. “The idea would be to keep the flame going, right. For years?” She nods. “Like a relationship. Like a marriage.” She cringes at the word marriage. Noted. “So you need the air—to stay constant—to fan the flames of the fire, and you know, grasshopper,” I smile at her and catch sight of the corners of her mouth turning slightly upward in response to the endearment, “a hot enough fire will burn water, so you have to be careful with the water too.”
“That I do know,” she says softly. “So that’s the truth about air and water.” She sighs deep.
“Which is?”
“It’s hard to maintain the balance to keep the fire going. You have to fan the flames without putting it out with too much water. But too little water will burn the fire right up. Too much fire. Too much destruction. We’re out of control.”
“You’re talking in circles,” I say.
“No. That’s us,” she says with certainty."— Katherine Owen
