Thanks for the question. It is a good one, and the answer is a resounding yes. I have had one person tell me that I should take a beginning composition class. She teaches at community college, and although she is a fabulous teacher, her comment was off base and cut to the core. I immediately called my agent, who talked me off the ledge. That is just one instance. The road to publication is rife with criticism, and I imagine once my debut is out, there will plenty of people who do not like it. I remain hopeful that I will find the readers who like my work. That is my ultimate goal. Criticism, or constructive feedback, is an absolute necessity for the writer. As a professional, you must be able to learn to take the feedback, and use it to hone your skills. The teacher (who obviously is not a fan of my writing) is still an acquaintance, and I've decided that her opinions about my ability to write are none of my business! Thanks for the question, Jason.

Apologies for this late response. Right now I'm writing contemporary legal thrillers; however, Cat Carlisle stories have been popping into my head. So stay tuned! I do love writing Cat and hope to have some more Cat stories in my future. (less)

What's Everyone Reading or Listening To?

Hey, bookish friends.

I've been taking a wee break from writing, so I've decided to share the books and podcasts that I have been keeping me happily entertained.

Beneath the Skin by Caroline England.

My first Caroline England book and it definitely won’t be my last. A tangled web of a haunting story, tightly plotted with a well-developed cast of characters, and a surprising reveal at the end. This w Read more of this blog post »

“Blessed is the match, consumed in kindling flame.
Blessed is the flame that burns in the heart's secret places.
Blessed is the heart that knows, for honors sake, to stop its beating.
Blessed is the match, consumed in kindling flame.”
