The MicroPharm implant holds code that secretly counts down until the date of that baby's death (as determined by its genetic analysis) and contains drugs that are released in such a way that chemicals and hormones are in perfect balance at all times, ma...

Since I'm releasing two books at the same time, I'm answering lots of questions and analyzing my books, my characters, and myself in ways that aren't normal for me. Regardle...

Happy World Teachers' Day

In honor of World Teachers' Day, I've been thinking about some of my most life-changing moments as it relates to teachers. While there were many, most were associated with the books a few of my favorite teachers encouraged me to read, books that were memorable (much like the wonderful teachers recommending them).

Cheating Time (Longevity, #1) - Release December 2014

It feels good to say that I've finished yet another book (8 total with 2 in the queue for release). Before we all get too excited, I must say that there's still a lot of steps that must be taken before it will be officially released. Still, the story has been carefully plotted and documented. I have reads and re-reads, editing, beta-reading, and tours, but the hard part is done. 

Take a glance and add it to your To Read list if it looks like something that would interest you. ❤
