Outlander First Look
This post is for anyone out there who shares my obsession with Outlander, the epic time-traveling romance created by Diana Gabaldon. Here's the first look at the upcoming mini series that is currently under production in Scotland. It'll air on the Starz channel sometime this summer. I can't wait!

Cover reveal-Fractured, book 3 in the Impacted Series
I'd like to share this beautiful cover for my upcoming novel, Fractured. It was created by Paul Richmond using a photo from the gallery of photographer, Ronaldo Gutierrez. Although this is book 3 in a series, it's a spin-off, not a sequel. You won't have to read the first two novels to enjoy this one.
Release date is scheduled for early March if all goes well. Official blurb to follow in the next week or so.

Welcome 2014!
Happy New Year to all my friends and readers. 2014 is the year of the Horse in Chinese astrology. My last two novels were centered around a man who was born in the year of the Fire Horse so I thought it would be fun to share some information on this sign.

Post-Thanksgiving Update
I haven't posted anything since early November, so here's a little update for those who want to know what writers do in-between book releases.
