Butterfly Ideas
There are days when I have too many creative ideas swirling around in my head. They swirl around, like a swarm of butterflies, vying for my attention.

Writing is in my hard-wiring. There’s no escape. And, I wouldn’t want it any other way. The Elen story proves it over and over again, as do the other stories crowding my head. I spend moments in wonder as the Elen story unfolds, and I hope abundantly that I put what’s in my head onto paper to be a beloved read.
Little by little, bit by bit, books are built like building blocks from a kernel of a story to a wonderful book. While writing, some of the blocks may tumble, files can be lost, sentences scratched out, pages, and chapters deleted.
Thank you so much to Cecil TV for hosting me for an interview about my plans to travel with James to Scotland in September 2025 for hands-on research at Culloden Battlefield, various libraries, and museums all for our forthcoming ‘The Elen Chronicles’.
