Let’s Be Real Here
This topic comes up in just about every interview I’ve been in (whether as the interviewer or the interviewee)… DO YOU UTILIZE REAL PEOPLE, REAL PLACES, REAL EVENTS IN YOUR WORKS OF FICTION? Truth is there is always a figment or two (or three or four) of reality in fiction. Whether it be a location…
Writer’s Motto
My apologies for not posting a lot over the summer. Here it is the last day of August and I realized I had not posted a thing on my own webpage. Now I could list a lot of excuses, but they would be just that…excuses. In the words of a good friend of mine, stop…

My first Facebook Live reading from my debut novel did not go as well as planned.
A Belated “Teaser Tuesday”
Folks, the holidays have me so scatter-brained, I didn’t realize the day, thus “Teaser Tuesday” will have to be a bit late. We need a good name for Wednesday teasers… any suggestions? How about: Wowza Wednesday! We’ll table that discussion and get down to business since I still have holiday shopping and wrapping…and don’t even…
Let me introduce…
JASPER MOREAU! Who is he? Well, besides sexy and hot as hell…that’s more what he is, not who though. Jasper is one of my absolute favorite characters to write. He’s not just eye candy, but I may stare at this inspirational photo when I need my muse to help me create his lines, his…
