First, I am hoping that 2018 will see me publishing some new books--it's been a long time. For personal reasons, I've been unable to get a new story together all the way to completion, but life is improving, so there's hope.

Second, a number of my most popular books are unavailable because of a conflict with the publisher (NOT Excessica--they are great!). I truly wish I could make them available once more, but--so it goes. There are a few that I will be able to republish. They need covers and editing, but they're on my list.

Third, I now live in the Kentucky bluegrass area--horse country--and I love it!

Fourth, if you're still reading this bio, I hope you'll check back for new books and a revamped web site in 2018!

Finally, I'm glad that you de ...more

If You Want to Write...

I've begun reconnecting with area writers and writing groups after a long period of isolation (the reasons why are not relevant here). Something that came to me while fighting insomnia last night is this: if you want to write, you must READ BOOKS.

If you write fiction, you must read widely, both in your genre and out of it. Study styles, how dialogue is crafted, what is said and what is left out, a Read more of this blog post »

Barrie’s Quotes

“Censorship and the suppression of reading materials are rarely about family values and almost always about control--about who is
snapping the whip, who is saying no, and who is saying go. Censorship's bottom line is this: if the novel Christine offends me, I don't want just to make sure it's kept from my kid; I want to make sure it's kept from your kid, as well, and all the kids. This bit of intellectual arrogance, undemocratic and as old as time, is best expressed this way: "If it's bad for me and my family, it's bad for everyone's family.”
― Stephen King
