I had a great time at Pride this year! We got really lucky with the weather - Saturday was warm and sunny, but not quite as hot as some years. On Sunday there were brief, hard showers round the metro Twin Cities area (including up by my house) but only 4 drops of rain at Pride itself. It wasn't... Read more of this blog post »

Just finished reading this having been stimulated by the Cicero Trilogy.

Tom Holland writes exceptional narrative history and this is as good as other books of his that I've read. It really brings the last days of the Roman Republic alive and I think its the perfect partner to Robert Harris' offe... Read more of this blog post »

Yesterday at 11 am I finished my latest rough draft.

Are you a fan of "Christmas in July"? I know I am! What better way to beat the summer heat than by immersing yourself in a Christmas romance filled with wintry white snow?

hello everyone it has been a very long journey but the book has been revised and edited and bran new cover!!! and paperback is on it's way soon

In every novel I've written I've tried to keep the writing fresh by taking on a new fictive challenge. In The Lucifer Chord, this was making supergroup Ghost Legion and their frontman Martin Mear seem an authentic part of rock history. I want readers too young to recall the 1970s googling them, c...

When I started The Secret of the Tirthas, Venice was high on the list of possible portals for Lizzie’s garden. However, it wasn’t until the fifth book, The Unknown Realms, that I finally found the right storyline for it.

I was lucky enough to spend a long weekend in Venice a few years ago, when...

I do not like blogs. They are too personal and annoying."

Yes, they are. This is supposed to be the whole point, though. Blogs should be personal. Blogs should be annoying. More importantly, blogs should be a way to vent out frustrations, share something interesting, talk about the weather or simp... Read more of this blog post »

Some people hold the understandable belief that the world is so huge that humans could not possibly affect our weather or climate. Well, evidence to the contrary appears over our heads almost daily in the form of contrails. These are the long skinny clouds that form high in the sky and usually ta...

Not that it needs to be stated again, but… I love books. A book is a piece of art. It’s cover, contents, and binding are all like splashes of color on a blank canvas that create beauty. This is one of the main reasons why many (myself included) will never ditch print books entirely.

This week, Remember Him will be available for pre-order. I am working on a reunion story and will probably watch my deadline fly right out of the window. I'll try to only be a few days late.
So many stories are trying to be told all at once and summer activities keep me busy. What fun.

Since I wrote about the devastating effects of Dr. Spock’s child raising book, I thought I would share what others think about spanking children. It seems we are constantly being told how the “studies” prove that spankings are bad for children and just plain wrong. In fact, a 50-year study prove...

I am slowly learning that I don’t have to believe the stories others have written about me. I don’t have to be the character they want to be. I don’t have to give them the happy ending they want. It’s not their story. It’s mine and I won’t let them take t...

Sheryl Sandberg’s advice that we should “lean in” is garbage. All leaning in does is make you perform more work which most likely will not be recognized.

Her advice is similar to austerity plans that urge poor people to stretch a dollar longer. The logic follows is why should the poor get more if...

I spent a lot of high school and a good deal of early college giving many, many fudges. I’d worry about my hair, my clothing, how I presented myself. I’d worry if I seemed too angry, too stupid. Within reason, my filter of public perception anxiety kept me from enjoying anything in life.
