Cover Reveal! Hills of Nevermore
When the cover art for a novel evokes the mood of the story it represents, it’s a win for the designer, publisher, and author. But the most important benefit is to readers. As an avid reader myself, I know the joy of pausing to gaze at a beautiful cover with characters who match their descriptions. That’s why … Continue reading Cover Reveal! Hills of Nevermore →

Finding peace in an angry world
America is going through a tough time right now. A divisive election reaches right down to the guests around a holiday table, family members staying in touch on Facebook, friends who think differently.

How I spent my summer vacation (it’s not what you think)
I chose a balmy scene to head this month’s literary wayfarer journal not to mock myself but as a reminder of the laid back lifestyle I’d like to have. My summer vacation didn’t look anything like this, and it definitely felt the opposite. This is the view I spent most of the summer looking at: Okay, … Continue reading How I spent my summer vacation (it’s not what you think) →

The Light at the End of the Tunnel
Writing Hills of Nevermore (Montana Gold 1) and Deceptive Tide (Islands of Intrigue 3) occupied my time this summer, pushing nearly everything else aside. Circumstances combined with the ethereal nature of a creative undertaking like writing a book put me in an epic time crunch. I lived to tell the tale, despite my doubts, and I’m probably … Continue reading The Light at the End of the Tunnel →

Training a Dragon, Contemplating Death, and Other Pastimes
This month I’ve enjoyed an interesting experiment while teaching myself to dictate my books. It’s not as easy as it might seem, because you have to include the dictation. That was almost a deal-killer for me, but after a while I got the hang of it. You see, I usually think the punctuation as I … Continue reading Training a Dragon, Contemplating Death, and Other Pastimes →
