Today I rest upon my zero gravity chair which sits on my penthouse balcony with a view into forever. Billows of soft white clouds drift lazily in the gentle blue sky. Birds fly together free in the hot, blazing sun. Emerald green oak leaves on nearby trees are just beginning to reflect hues of g... Read more of this blog post »

I have been off GoodReads for about two years due to some personal situation. I have, however, read several books. Hope to re-connect with my GoodRead friends who were always faithfully sending me book reviews.
Good to be back.

I've made a renewed commitment to Social Media networking. So I promise a new blog twice a week.

Twelve thousand words into Dire:Hell, and this is the fastest I've been able to write in over a year! The muse is as eager as I am.

I'm not going to blog about politics on this page at all, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Deputy AG in the Trump administration, Rod Rosenstein, is married to a genuine Barsoomian (his wife is former US attorney Lisa Barsoomian)!

Hard to imagine, but what if these behemoths of data went belly up? Sure, a few banks might fail, a few cities go bankrupt, perhaps even a few countries; a whole bunch of employees would be made redundant, and that vast treasure trove of data would be on the auction block.

Amy Robsart, Robert Dudley’s first wife, was found dead on 8 September 1560 at her lodgings in Cumnor, Berkshire, at the foot of some stairs. Almost 261 years later, in January 1821, Sir Walter Scott published his 13th historical novel: … Continue reading →

Thaddeus Walker is the first character you will encounter reading Origins Book One: The Ripper. He is an English Gentleman in his own mind, but he is only so because of his family's name and money.

Hey guys !
It’s been a few weeks since I have posted something. As usual, I was encouraged or inspired by this topic because I find that its easy to look outside our circle for love.

Ever since I published Iridescent back in July, I've been working on its sequel. I have to admit that I'm way behind schedule when it comes to this WIP, and that's something I really need to work on.

Writer’s block is often caused by clashing of our feelings, where the author experiences a creative slowdown. We know what we have to say but we are afraid that it won’t measure up to our expectations or to our readers’ expectations. But hey, writer’s block is better than to give up completely,...

So…I had a different post planned for Bi Visibility Day, but you know what? There’s been a distinct shortage of bi women (or just ‘not men’, really) in most of the stuff I’ve seen, including my own posts—I’ll hold my hands up to that. Therefore, I’m rounding off the week with Charlie (aka Charlo... Read more of this blog post »

Happy Saturday and how's the weather? Cooling down here finally!

All the Good Things has been reviewed by Gerard Woodward in The Guardian. He describes it as a ‘sparky and unsettling debut.’ He writes:
The novel’s strength lies in its language, and in the voice of Beth as she narrates her life. It draws us into a living realm of characters and emotions in just...

There is a lot of music in this series, which is probably fitting since Nava grew up dancing and Rohan is an ex-rock star. I thought I’d share it with you. I ended up creating two lists (both found in the extras section on this site). The first one was the original list written after book one, an...

Mi cuerpo me odia.
Tiembla con restraso
ante el frío, ante el calor,
ante el placer, ante el miedo.
Mi cuerpo me odia
cuando salimos de este núcleo seguro
y sus paredes silenciosas.

I still have every record I’ve ever bought, even the embarrassing stuff. I rescued them from a cupboard a few years ago and was relieved to find that none had warped from being stored close to the boiler ( shame, shame on me).
