Just because you’ve never died before doesn’t mean you’re immortal.

Consider 1,001 days in the life of a turkey. Each day that goes by, the turkey begins to become convinced that each day will be just like the last. The routine of day 898 — eating, breeding, dusting, and loafing — seems even more...

For many years, I simply couldn’t talk about my OCD outside of the fortress safe circle of a very few beloveds. Friends, I couldn’t even write about it in my journal. The condition of having a mind peopled vulnerable to episodes of vivid images of darkness and disaster and a heart terrified by it...

[image error]Here it goes: I’m finished!

Well, the first draft anyway.

Some people who aren’t writers have asked me if I’m ready to send that novel off to my publisher, Pantera Press. Ha! I wish I could write a flawless first draft.

I can’t.

Nobody can.

Decades ago, when I was inexperienced and much m...

I just turned 28! Here’s what happens when people tell me to have fun.

"We were ahead of the market."

"The market just wasn't ready for it, yet."

"The right infrastructure just wasn't there, yet."...

Is just another way of saying that you created something that the market either didn't want or didn't need...

I can’t wait to share the story with the world!

It’s hard to believe that Something Worth Saving is just one month from launch! I’ve been working on promotion and getting the word out about the book. I’ve also been writing and editing every day, as my 3rd novel for Kensington (What Holds Us Togeth...

Identity theft is real. You haven’t heard from us in a while because despite the enormous efforts we go to, to protect ourselves from this evil in the world, late last week we became the victims of identity fraud. Someone, or an organised group of someone’s, stole our identities. Not Facebook ide...

It’s about a woman who secretly writes, but can’t bear to...

Do you want to read a festive tale of two women with very different agendas who are forced together? How about a taste of the winter spirit in the beautiful setting of the south of S...

So….this writing thing…it’s hard. It’s a rollercoaster full of ups and downs. When you’re at the top of a really big rise, you feel as if you’re on top of the world, yet you know there’s a big fall coming.
