My third published short story appeared in this new Finnish online magazine: https://varjorikko.com/maatilan-tytto/

It's about what happens after you've been turned to stone.

What kind of story does the author want to tell? It's an important question.

Many make that decision by looking to their own experiences. Others look to current or historical events for inspiration. But what if facts are so extreme, they seem impossible to be real? What happens when real-life crim... Read more of this blog post »

I just wanted to share something I found funny. My new release, Single and Looking, Daisy (Secret Lives of Sisters) has been turned down for ads on both Amazon and Facebook due to the fact that the COVER IS TOO SUGGESTIVE.

Oh, my! Is it the Cinderella coach on Daisy's underpants as she leans down... Read more of this blog post »

Isn't publishing fun?

No, no publishing is probably the most brutal thing an author can go through.

Case in point. I have a 120k MASTERPIECE of a Lesbian thriller/erotica novel that I languished over for a year sitting in publisher limbo. 3 have rejected it, 2 have ghosted me. If one of those gho... Read more of this blog post »

Material for "Mardi Gras in Kodachrome" went to the publisher today. I would feel more relief except I had meant to have it all wrapped up last week. Things always seem to get telescoped into past-deadline all-nighters (fraught with computer glitches) in the end, no matter how much I plan. Wife a... Read more of this blog post »

Before I began writing fiction in prose, I was a scriptwriter. As an example of my work in this area, here's a Vimeo of one of my shorts entitled Writer's Block: https://vimeo.com/197694952

In the transition from scripts to prose, the carryover for me is I have a spartan, not-so-wordy writing styl... Read more of this blog post »

It is toe-curlingly embarrassing to see typos in your published work. It just is. -_-

"My debt to Skye has now been paid," said Kraven. "A life for a life. Make sure she knows that." He teleported out of the room before Skye was fully awake.
A life for a life? That's not how it works. Skye wanted the necromancer's head as payment for her father's murder. Even after saving her from... Read more of this blog post »

Each time I raise my gaze to the night sky,
A million stars stare back, shedding happy tears of light.
And I cannot but stare back in delight,
Wondering which one of them holds your great soul.
Tell me, Old Nelson, do they--these stars--still shine upon
you?

Heaven should grant that they do;

I am very happy to report that Holly is much better. She began to improve once the vet increased the prednisone and we are now starting to slowly wean her off it.

The nine muses were Greek goddesses presiding over literature, science, and the arts.

To be forgotten
As if to have never lived
Such is the pain on contemplating
Of death and dying

Let me just say at the outset: I hate not writing fiction.

As I work on the dissertation for my PhD, keep my head in a demanding full-time job, and juggle these with a busy family life, writing fiction has been moved to the back burner. I knew this would happen when I reached that dreaded stage in... Read more of this blog post »

He’s coming.

I can hear his footsteps through the door. That’s all it takes for me to know it’s him; I recognize the particular sound his rugged shoe soles make, the exact time between each step, how long it takes him to unlock the door. Even the hesitant minutes he takes to open it.
