Death by my TBR pile…
The second quarter of the year is always busy. I’ve published at least one full-length book or are in the midst of publishing one, there are book contests to judge (Passionate Plume), anthology entries to write or edit or critique. So, WHY am I picking up MORE books to read?

A Wild(e) & Crazy Guy
Quite a few years back — in my special effects/traveling days — I had the opportunity to work a show at the Observation Deck atop the Rockefeller Center. We got the “go ahead” to take a break. On my way to the restroom, they open the doors early. There’s chaos, pandemonium, and

A cabin in the woods
It’s here! Dueling Flames is here! It’s available from numerous retailers in both epub and print versions. This has been an EXCITING and EXHAUSTING release.

I was talking to myself today. Oh yeah, I’m that kind of crazy. See, it’s my way of working through a problem, an emotional funk, or just plain fantasizing. I feel we all need a bit of good ol’ fantasizing once in a while. In this conversation, I imagined what my reply would be to…

Typos and all..
2023 in an image. Typos and all. What you’re seeing in that is a list of accomplishments. They boil down to 3 shorts and 2 full-length novels.

I need a new shoe pairing for the next cover in this series. Please pick a sneaker that would represent the right mix of “girl-next-door” and “Dungeons&Dragons-fan” because…

Putting the Bike Away
No, I’m not quitting any of my MC books, I’m simply switching gears for a month or so. Mostly because Halloween is the time for Paranormal!!! I love things that go bump in the night – and things that bump back. Especially naughty heroes and heroines. To celebrate the season, I’m going to be launching…
