I have my husband to thank for the idea for this one: the bombed-out cityscape at night, rendering the title obviously ironic...
The same box from "The Liberty Box" cover in the sky, representative of the Control Centers in the Republic...
I'm kind of in love with it!! My cover designer is ...

Where Bright Ideas Come From
I can’t actually remember the original source, but I think it might have been the audiobook Smarter, Better, Faster by Charles Duhigg, which I'm listening to right now...
Anyway, whatever I was listening to made the interesting point that new ideas only tend to come about when certain ...

Cover Re-brand: THE LIBERTY BOX
Check it out!!
I'm so pleased that my former cover artist agreed to re-make my first cover (at no charge!), using clip art still, but manipulating it enough that my cover is truly unique. I actually think I might like it a little better than the first one, partly because the human ...

Updates on “The Liberty Box” Series!
This has been a big week for my “Liberty Box” series!
It’s a Trilogy!
First, last week I decided that it was going to be a trilogy, after all. Based on my outline, I thought I was going to finish the sequel this week, but then my characters decided to have a few interactions I didn’t plan for, ...

“The Liberty Box” sequel: Almost here!
I’m about a week away from finishing the first draft of the sequel to “The Liberty Box”… I JUST decided it was going to be a trilogy after all, and not just two books. Mostly this was because that’s just where the plot trajectory took me. It’s kind of fun to ignore my outlines sometimes…

So Good They Can’t Ignore You
I listen to audiobooks like a fiend. At the moment, I’m listening to “So Good They Can’t Ignore You,” by Cal Newport. It is FASCINATING, and so biblical, though I’m pretty sure the author doesn’t know it. I didn’t realize it in so many words either, until I started listening to it.
I can summarize ...

College: Is It Useful Anymore?
This morning as I went running on the beautiful river walk near my new apartment (BEST way to see the sunrise!), I was listening to a podcast… as usual. This morning, it was Jeff Goins’ The Portfolio Life, and the episode was called, “The Wrong Reason to Go (Back) to College.” You should listen to ...

“The Power of Habit”
The Power of Habit
I’m listening to this on audiobook right now by Charles Duhigg, and it’s fascinating. What is it that motivates people to change?
