The hardest thing for me to do, changes, and finally getting to finish!
I think the hardest thing to do as an author – and, if I’m being completely honest, as a person – is to focus on just one thing and see it through to completion. I always seem to get distracted by different projects, different stories, even when I’m neck-deep in working on one that I have a deadl... Read more of this blog post »

Ice Cream & Paint Party
No meetings today. Everything is cancelled because of the snow storm. So, I slept in. Now I'm eating ice cream and mixing my own top secret very very special one of a kind turquoise paint, that no other artist knows how to make. Yeah...

Beauty in the Rain
The misty veil was momentarily lifted to let in a few golden rays. But dark and foreboding clouds quickly moved in to shield off what little sunlight there was. The northern gust picked up and churned the lake’s surface into tiny billows. At a distance, a lone bass boat hurriedly skimmed the turb...

The pitfalls of getting the word out
Becoming a full-time author is difficult and takes a lot of time and patience. Over the many years I have invested time and money in trying to make a dream I have had since school become a reality. The journey has met with people who were willing to help without question but also those willing to...

Behind The Scenes: Creating Poetry, The Otherworld + Celtic Goddess Brigid
It begins with a feeling; as something or someone that weaves through the ground, beneath my feet, moves in the soil until it decides to surface, tempted by water, tempted by air; to reach its hands for merging. And I try to shape it into words; to give it a home on a page while not losing its mo...

In Defense of the Serial Comma
Often when I am doing copyediting work, I encounter use of the serial comma, or non-use of it, as the case may be. You may know this punctuation mark as the Oxford Comma, as its use has been heralded by Oxford University for many decades. It may also be referred to as the Harvard Comma, which nom...

Siblings in Fiction (and in Life)
Do you like reading fiction that has a protagonist with siblings? Well, I do probably because I have three sisters who are now my best friends. I'm sure some people who do not have siblings have friends or cousins who are as close as sisters or brothers. Anyway, I love reading and writing about t...

I see you everyday sleeping your life away
Losing time again, can’t convince you to stay
Your legs are so weak you can’t stand up

#NotForTeens
Alright, so I'm going to start with an apology to those who have been submitting questions to me to answer, and I have apparently been neglecting. I very sincerely apologize. I guess I dropped off the face of the planet, and have no idea where I went for the past 7 months.

Recovery and Editing
I am recovering from an injury suffered on the 14th and would have gone stir crazy. Yes, I had a bit of a concussion and was told to rest. I was so tired. On the third day following the injury, I was energized and listened to eighteen hours of mystery novels. I'd been told not to strain my eyes,...

sleeplessness
Like many people, I've struggled with insomnia. All my adult life, sleep has been tenuous. The insomnia comes and goes of its own accord, and at its worst has lasted for weeks at a time with only two or three hours of sleep a night.

RetFed blog intro
I read a line from in a novel from one of my fav crime writers who called the FBI Special in Agent in Charge, the "Sac." It is the DEA who refers to the Special in Agent as the "Sac" while the FBI term is S-A-C. I can't say I was crushed but that one line caused a crimalus interruptus in the stor...

'Jupiter Eclipsing' is entering a pivotal chapter! Once I organize, choreograph, and compose that chapter we can slide on through until the next harrowing adventure. Then, with that piece of prose behind me, I hope to move on to the next Eroenchantica, Volume II.

The First On Many
I am neither heathen nor hedonist. I am a man, and like all men I am driven by a dominant psychological pre-disposition to assert myself as a leader and authoritarian. The life of a man is not calculated by his achievements, but rather on how many other persons lives have been influenced by onese...

Interview with Tana French
Dublin crime novelist Tana French has the kind of critical reviews that other writers would…well, die for. Her debut murder mystery,
In the Woods
, won rave reviews and multiple literary prizes upon its release in 2007. Since then, her books have tended to haunt the bestseller lists, on both sides of the pond, and for months at a time. British newspaper The Independent has dubbed French "The First Lady of Irish Crime," and The Washington Post says she is the most important crime novelist to emerge in the past ten years. ...more
