Heya all! I have just posted a new short story. “Hand of Justice” is now listed in the brand new page Flash Fiction here at dechandlerwrites.com ! Give it a look! If you like it and would like to get all the latest updates on the site, my life, and writing, along with never-seen-anywhere else works, sign…
And that was exactly the look she gave me as kitty took over my map as I was world-building a while back. As I was working on an urban fantasy, I was using an actual world map, which kitty decided was a great place for her to flop. After a few attempts to dissuade her,…
If I thought summer was going to be slow and relaxing, I think I have another thing coming. With Intermediate Algebra class and learning the ins and outs of self-publishing, along with novel revisions, photography practice, class scheduling for fall, gardening and chores, I’m not sure just how much relaxing is going to get done….
Well, what a whirlwind the last week or so has been! Say that three times fast. It felt like I lived it three times fast. I love, love, love the conference the Oklahoma Writers’ Federation puts on every year, but it is a busy three days. If you take advantage of all this conference has…

The last couple of months have been a whirlwind, and…
I’ve been working on the website, all the livelong night….. Okay, hopefully I’m not the only one who sang it.

It’s supposed to post whatever I…
Well I’m sitting right at 30,000 words on my first novel length work. It’s probably about as far to the end as it is from the beginning, and I’m still both ecstatic and terrified. I get stuck sometimes, but then I live my life for a few days and go back at it. I suppose…
Well, Bags are packed, and First thing in the morning, I leave for Osage County, off to wildlife adventure! You’ll be able to read all about it soon, in the Green Country Guardian, when the premier online issue comes out in September. I’m very excited to get to help out with a project I feel…
