Copyright

I’d like to point out first that I am not a copyright lawyer!

So completing 2 full length novels last year (plus editing and producing second editions of books 1, 2 and 3 with new covers, and new covers for the Trouble series as well) took a lot out of me. There were ma...

Ask the Author Videos

I recently started answering reader and fan questions in video form! A few reasons for this …

Happy 2016! (And the books you can expect this year)

Yes. I know it is February now! But I was making some adjustments to my website, and I realized I never did a “happy new year” blog post! So … better late than never? *guilty smile*
