About this author

I write books; I read books. I write non-fiction pieces; I read the news, which is supposedly non-fiction. I write poetry occasionally; I've gotten out of the habit of reading poetry -- must fix. I wrote short stories in another life; I read collections of short stories occasionally.

I write blog posts; I read opinion pieces. I photograph things that catch my eye; I enjoy my Flickr Friends' photographs.

I tweet; I read tweets, well, okay, I read tweets addictively. I post Facebook status updates through third-party apps when I must; I read Facebook status updates through its own app.

I use Goodreads to read more; I wrestle with the Goodreads iOS app, finally acknowledge defeat, and go back to the website -- when I'm on the computer. I maintain...more


Odd Apocalypse

Odd Apocalypse by Dean Koontz


My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Odd Thomas is a likable character. Philosophical with an optimistic bent, one who self-reflects and thinks about the consequences of his actions while living in the moment, reactive to the horrors coming at him as he strives to save an innocent.


This book in the Odd series doesn’t disappoint in this, although I do yearn for a hero who kicks a...

A Body in the Backyard
by Elizabeth Spann Craig (Goodreads Author)
read in May, 2013
I won this book in an #indiechat giveaway on Twitter, and I was pleased as punch because it's been awhile since I'd read a cosy mystery, and my brain felt in need of this kind of comfy book.

A Body in the Backyard is, I believe, number four in the Myr...more

read in May, 2013
I won this book in a giveaway. I don't usually read fantasy but thought it was time I tried a new genre and read an author I'm not familiar with. Spreading my book wings, so to speak. Because of my reading problems from my brain injury, I still don't...more

Time and Space
by Shireen Jeejeebhoy (Goodreads Author)
read in June, 2013
My second novel, officially launching on June 4th! I had a blast writing this book, and I hope you will enjoy reading it. As per usual, I don't rate my own books. But I hope you will!
Shireen is on page 161 of 391 of The Abbey: I'm having a hard time finding the main character Ash believable. I've met "heathen" Muslims. And he doesn't sound like one; he doesn't sound like one whose cultural background is rooted in the East. He's a walking vigilante American cliche with some prayers thrown in. The setting sounds also rather unbelievable, maybe cuz of the way it's written. More and more, I feel like I'm slogging. Ugh.
