Photographer, Crafter, Author, and MOM

Since I started publishing my writing, I have kept all of my different hobbies separate. I am still leery about sharing my writing with those that I know in real life, but I am slowly starting to get better for it. I have decided that the only way I am ever going to be comfortable with my friends and family knowing about my writing is just jumping straight in.


I am a mom of five children. I am a crafter. I am an author. I am a photographer. I am sick of keeping all these things separate.


From now on, all my photography as well as my crafting will also be featured on harleyturner.net


I am currently in the process of adding everything to the website. It will take some time to get everything, but it will eventually happen.

Music = Life!

Ok anyone who knows me personally knows how important music is to me. About six years ago, I guess you could say I had a crisis of faith. My faith was music. I had lost a really close friend of mine to suicide, and since he was the drummer of my favorite local band, I had no desire to listen to music anymore. In the car, my stereo was off. If my boyfriend at the time was playing music at home, I would put on noise canceling headphones just to drown out the sound. I didn't want to hear anything that would remind me of my friend. Of course, being a drummer in a popular rock band, his friends and family put together a benefit. Several amazing local bands played that day. I couldn't not go. During the first three bands, I sat outside. I couldn't bring myself to jump back into the world of live music. The bassist of one of the bands stepped outside for a cigarette between sets. We started talking. Stu will never know how much he helped me that day. We talked about absolu

The Fate of Saving Avalon

When I first ventured into the world of fantasy with the Saving Avalon series, I admit I was skeptical at first. Although fantasy is usually my chosen genre when I am reading, I had never written something like it before. Everything was new to me. Finding Her Wings didn't sell as well as I had hoped. Yes, part of it is my fault because I am so horrible at marketing. Then as I sat down to start on book two, I decided that the antagonist in Finding Her Wings is not such a bad guy after all. Most of book two was spent redeeming the past actions of this character. Of course, a demons actions cannot be redeemed in only one book. He will constantly be trying to prove that he has changed. Now I am struggling with book three. I thought I had a title and general plot figured out, but now I am not so sure. I'm missing writing about my social issues. I miss the characters in my Self Inflicted Saga. I think I need to revisit them for awhile. I need a break from Saving Avalon.

From the Corner of Her Eye is available for presale in the Kindle and Nook store! Release date is tomorrow! When I first started seriously writing in January, I never would have believed that I would already have THREE books available in just five short months. I already have a start on a brand new one! In addition to writing, most of my time is spent with my children. There are five of them, and every single one can be a handful, but put them all together and I go insane! My two year old is well into her Terrible Twos, and now has the nickname the Madi Monster. It's definitely fitting. Yesterday, I was scribbling down some ideas for Self Inflicted, and she decided to stuff a rubber duckie down the toilet. Later in the evening, I had given her a bath. While I was cleaning up the bathroom floor from her splashing mess, she decided to head out the back door of our house...butt naked.  I love her to death, but is it too much to ask to get her to take a nap so I can get some work
