Today is one of the saddest days in the history of the Jewish people, and I would like to share an excerpt from my book, “Walking With the Enemy: A Testimony,” that exemplifies exactly what I mean by that statement.

“The deception that I was in could happen to...

I have made many self-publishing mistakes. Many of them are apparent when you look at my Goodreads author profile. There are titles here that I started months ago when I was going to start writing short stories for English learners and they did not fly well. I did not know at the time that once y...

"Fortunately Skye survived in one piece," I said. "Is she awake?" We were still talking in Kraven's office where I'd been unconscious on the floor. I assumed the necromancer was wisely long gone now since he feared the possibility of facing Skye's wrath. However as the new manager of the Black Ma... Read more of this blog post »

Music is important to me. It's saved my life and my moods more times than I can count. When I write, I listen to music to motivate me. I save the songs that remind me of my story and make me feel things. I'm kind of like my MC, Fal, in that way.

So, here are the main songs I used as inspiration... Read more of this blog post »

Hmmm, are we more real online than in flesh and blood?

I hit the centennial mark today. An auspicious occasion – it’s not every day you reach such a milestone. There really should be a reward of some kind.

No, I am not 100 years old, although there are days when I feel like I may be – and days when... Read more of this blog post »

Christan is one of my favorite characters. He has a true warrior ethic—well, he did spend a lot of... Read more of this blog post »

The day has gotten away from me, although looking back over it, none of it was wasted.

So I've got some good news and some bad news. Good news is, I have my cover for Earthly Pleasures, made by the fantastic Natasha Snow! Isn't it great? She perfectly captured the mood of the book - sexy, fun, and a little cheeky. And that model is the PERFECT Prince Paurick!

The bad news? I don't... Read more of this blog post »

Recently I was invited for an evening smoke at an upscale, private cigar lounge, and the owner told me with pride how adverse he is to anything digital. He has a flip phone. No email, no social, no frills, no nonsense. Can’t even find him online, he says. Just the flip phone. You can call him or...

I think everyone does judge a book by its cover. How else can you do so? You need something to draw you in initially and that is the cover's job.

I like a cover to be appropriate for whatever it is I'm reading and, ironically for a writer, I want the picture to do most of the work.

I've sometimes... Read more of this blog post »

Hello, all.

Life has been very hectic the past few months for me. So sorry.

I've been extremely busy lately, which is why I haven't really updated this! I am working on my second book of my series and my website and marketing and and and... a lot of stuff.
I promise I will do more to keep this updated!

I'm shit at keeping up with social media and blogging. I know I need to be better if I want to make this work, but I do want everyone who pays me their valuable time to know I don't take it for granted. Though I don't regularly check in, I am constantly working away.

The world is governed by very different personages

This book idear begins with the death of an author. The author was very old and somewhat successful in his early years. In his later years, true to stereotype, he became a recluse. It was also rumored that he had been writing new works for years and vaulting them.
