I really wasn’t sure what to title this post. As a writer, I typically have a lot of vocabulary at my disposal, but my heart was hurting so badly that I really had to do some soul-searching to find the right words. I am not immune to the ‘news’ of the day, and one of […]

I admit, I have been having a blast reading the work of some other authors, getting to know them and just catching up on reading. A good story in book form just can’t be beaten by a movie in most cases. At least, that is my opinion. Here are a few of the books I […]

One of my greatest joys – and curses, at times – are the connections I have made with people through my work as a writer. I believe most writers feel similarly. Connecting with people in personal ways allows a writer to share in something of a primal way. We can get down to the real […]

The group is literally filled with indie authors and writers from every walk of life, in varying stages of their process. It has been an outstanding resource for me. Saying that, I know many of you who read my blog are […]

I have been a bit under the weather lately, and is wasn’t due to what the television meteorologists were pointing out on their radar sweeps or green-screen maps. Generally, I have just not felt 100 percent. I was talking to a fellow writer about my physical versus emotional state and caught him completely off guard […]

PUBLISHED! Five Steps Forward, Three Steps Backis a collection of eight short science fiction and fantasy stories – seven of them first published in the small (but perfectly formed) spec-fic webzine Mythaxis, plus a bonus extra, just because I love you. That’s right: you. 5SF3SB(that’s the book’s cool and trendy social media label, naturally) is…

I know a lot of you began reading the first part of “Lawnmower Wars” and were wondering, ‘come on, don’t leave us hanging’. Well, I hope I didn’t cause a major anxiety disorder by making you wait a few hours to see where the rest of the story went. At the end of the first […]
