Death Star – Behind the Scenes
We are diving deep now. I’m about 50k words into this story and it has been kicking around the computer for nine months or so. Sometimes, I will write a story from beginning to end in a few weeks… other times, not so much. This story centers on Jenny Coolidge. She works for a company that Jack Dixon owns, and is (indirectly) his goto computer security guru. And, she teams up with Dirk Bryce, they can hack anything. Her assistant is a guy named Cory Taylor.
This all started out because of the...

Death Star – excerpt II
We are diving deep now. I’m about 50k words into this story and it has been kicking around the computer for nine months or so. Sometimes, I will write a story from beginning to end in a few weeks… other times, not so much. Jenny is targeted by foreign entities because of her expertise. Capture or kill are their orders. She finds out that her assistant, Cory Taylor, is not what he first appeared, and she is out of her depth.
Jenny was struggling to keep up with Cory. They had walked sever...

Invisible Jack-BTS
Invisible Jack is the next closest to completion work I have in the pipeline. It is sitting around 62k words, but there are a few scenes left to write before it starts getting seriously edited and then goes off to the beat reading team. The idea behind the book is to cover a little of Jack’s struggles with himself as he is a billionaire, but constantly overshadowed by his wife. There were excerpts on Monday and Wednesday this week.
I have been sitting on this a while. I really do like Jack a...

Shining Star-BTS
Check out the last two posts (Monday and Wednesday of this week) for the excerpts from this work in progress. It is currently hanging out just shy of 70k words, and may be in line after At Arm’s Length. Of course, it isn’t done, so everything is subject to change.
Back in February, we took a family trip to Hawaii, and did a dinner cruise on the Na Pali coast.Read More
It was largely as I described (not in Monday’s excerpt… but before that in the book). It was rough… outrageously rough. Nobo...May 11, 2022
Shining Star-excerpt 2
This one is next in the word count, but things get murkier as far as release order. After At Arm’s Length, it could either be this or Invisible Jack… Anyway, the basis of the story is a guy meets a girl while on vacation. There will be another excerpt on Wednesday and on Friday I will write a little bit about how the story came about.
“Miss Lake, the photographer is here to talk with you about the marketing images. He said that Kate Parker was supposed to let you know he was coming today,” m...

On the skyride (among other things). And there was a girl that I used to give a ride every once in a while. Those parts of the story are true (and not disclosed in the excerpts posted…).Everything else just took off from there. The car ...
