Hear Us Roar hosted by Maggie Smith Nancie Abuhaidar Mar 08, 2026 For a span of years, I was a volunteer for the WFWA as the editor to their ReadON! Newsletter. It has since been reimagined as TBR and you can subscribe here. Life happened—that dang cloud—and I relinquished my duties. But one facet of that newsletter contained links toContinue reading “I’m on a Podcast!!”

It’s Getting Real
Let the panic ensue. Here we go, folks. I’ve been a busy little bee working on getting my debut, The Trouble with Possibilities out into the world. I’m so grateful to Lainey Cameron and her 12 Weeks to Book Launch Success course and my fellow writer and critique group friend, Leslie Kain (Secrets in the Mirror and What Lies Buried) for all ofContinue reading “It’s Getting Real”
An Update of Sorts
Just a short update on the chaos.
Shh. It’s a Rebuilding Year
After a summer of crushing lows, I am facing the darker seasons at a deficit.
That pesky storm cloud hovers, coloring everything I do. It’s hard to remain optimistic when the universe keeps flipping you the bird.
Chumbawamba Summer (I get knocked down…)
As we approach Labor Day, I am glad to be rid of this summer. It’s been a doozy. It started out beautifully–perfect temps, sunny days, no bugs (which to horse people is a blessing), and a ton of projects and hope. Nothing lasts forever. The temps went crazy like a terrier in a room fullContinue reading “Chumbawamba Summer (I get knocked down…)”
A Magical Island in the Middle of the Ocean

Once upon an age ago, an eight-year-old girl was put on an airplane– the first of three–and sent on a journey across the country and halfwayContinue reading “A Magical Island in the Middle of the Ocean”
How Was Your Week?
Holiday weekend? Not in my world. Tractors and colds and dogs barking all night. Oh my.
All one can do is laugh at the misery.
The Pain of Rejection
During a lull in the Independence Day festivities last night, I checked my email. Not my finest idea, but I have a slight obsession with keeping that little icon clear of a number. I don’t know why I am like this, but I am. To the soundtrack of fireworks, I saw a query reply. OpeningContinue reading “The Pain of Rejection”
Bandwidth
My bandwidth these days is pretty limited.
Is it the collective subconscious of the world? My own brain chemistry? Karma (the bitch who seems to hate me lately)?
Here’s an example:
Father’s Day without my Dad
I should be used to it by now. After all, my father passed away peacefully on an August afternoon 30 years ago. My sister and I had been in Texas for over a week. Our mom was upset that we’d come, thinking it was the end. She might have been tough, but she didn’t wantContinue reading “Father’s Day without my Dad”
