Kickstarter!

I want to take a moment to thank all of those who, over the years, have been an encouragement in my writing career. I am in the final phases of editing, and have been working with a team of professionals to make sure this book is polished. I have a traditionally published book being released in the spring, but decided to self publish this project for a few reasons. One being that traditional publishers want a series and the other that the shelf life is often limited. SO…I am doing a ... View the Post

Sometimes The Process Is The Best Part Of The Project

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoTGtiriybg Sometimes the greatest part of writing a book is the process. I have been working on this book for several years.

Danger in the Water ~ Chapter 2

Danger in the Water Grant would have been dead for sure, if the old miner hadn’t heard Perly’s desperate cries for help. He took a step forward and winced. Looking down he saw a small trail of blood and realized it was his. Whether it happened while he ran along the river’s shore yelling for Grant to hang on, or when he plunged into the river to help pull Grant’s limp body from the water, he didn’t care.

welcome It is hard to talk about me, without talking about us!    The Seither Family.  John and I have been married for over twenty five years. From the day we said “I do”, it has been quite an adventure.  One of the biggest things people notice about our family is the size. Yes, there are six kids, proof that  God has a sense of humor. I tell people that ask if we are done with six. “No” I promptly reply. “We were done at four! But the last two were too cute to send back.” Read More
