• To The Strongest Woman I Know

  Mom, Have I ever told you what a remarkable person you are? I should have said it long before now. You should know how unique and outstanding you truly are. I want you to set aside everything that brings you doubt, and listen to what I have to say. I love you and though you…

• Behind the Scenes

  In less than a month, I’ll be celebrating the launch of Avarice Unforgiving. This second installment in the Hell on Earth Series will pick up exactly where Avarice left off and delve deeper into the tangled predicaments my MC, Kami has found herself in…or gotten herself into! I thought it would be kind of fun…

• My Sanctuary

  The Daily Post is asking: If you could split your time evenly between two places, and two places only, which would these be? I haven’t traveled enough to have a second favorite location that I’d love spending half of my time exploring.  I wish I could answer with Florence, Santorini or even the Big Easy; dining…

• Challenge or Inspiration?

  Awhile back, I was given the challenge to write something out of my norm.  As a writer, I approached this with the appropriate attitude: “Bring it!” These were the challenge guidelines: Genre: SciFi – No problammo! Length: No more than 30 book pages – Really? Ugh. It’s okay, I can do this! Characters: A child…

• Thank You for Sucking the Life Out of My Tomatoes!

  The first ‘vampire’ novel I ever read was the children’s book Bunnicula by Deborah and James Howe.  If you’ve never heard of it – or had children who read it – the story is told by a dog, who suspects that the new family pet is a vampire.  The evidence seems to support his suspicions…
