Author Inspiration and This Week’s Writing Links

Well, here we are again. Another Friday, another week gone, another weekend approaching. This week, hope was a big focus of mine. We had a family member in the hospital for quite a while. Thank God, she’s progressing. She’s not out of the woods yet, but we’re cautiously optimistic. Not only was I hoping (and praying) for … Continue reading Author Inspiration and This Week’s Writing Links

Meet the Character: Donni Notaro

The third installment of the Medici Protectorate series, Body Armor, will be releasing soon. Because of that, I thought those of you unfamiliar with the characters and the series might like an introduction to the hero we follow in the story. We tried that yesterday. He wasn’t very forthcoming. So, we’re trying again today, only … Continue reading Meet the Character: Donni Notaro

Meet the Character: Nico Micelli

The third installment of the Medici Protectorate series, Body Armor, will be releasing soon. Because of that, I thought those of you unfamiliar with the characters and the series might like an introduction to the hero we follow in the story.

Book Release: Quantum Wanderlust

I love to write short stories. For several reasons. They’re a nice break from my longer work, they let me explore different genres, and—if I submit them to anthologies—they let me work with other authors and potentially gain new readers. It is with great pleasure that I announce the release of Quantum Wanderlust: A Time Travel … Continue reading Book Release: Quantum Wanderlust

Book Review: Jacquie Biggar’s TEMPTED BY MR. WRONG

How can something so wrong, feel so right? Falling for her step-brother is a mistake T.J. doesn’t want to repeat, but one look into those sapphire blue eyes and she’s ready to give Jason whatever he wants. Tammy-Jo Hawthorne’s marriage was floundering, but she never expected her husband to make her the laughing stock of … Continue reading Book Review: Jacquie Biggar’s TEMPTED BY MR. WRONG

Author Inspiration and This Week’s Writing Links

I chose this quote today because I’m writing the last book in a series that uses alchemy as the supernatural element. So I thought this was fitting. Maybe writers are true alchemists. We start with nothing and create… well, everything. We create people and conflict and settings and storylines. All artists start with a blank … Continue reading Author Inspiration and This Week’s Writing Links

Cover Reveal: Quantum Wanderlust

I’m proud to reveal the cover for the sci-fi time travel anthology—Quantum Wanderlust. Spring Forward, Fall Back. That reminds you of changing the clocks, right? When we talk about the passage of time, it’s usually in short bursts (seconds, minutes, hours) or slightly longer chunks (weeks, months, years). What if it was limitless? What if … Continue reading Cover Reveal: Quantum Wanderlust

Hurricanes, Fires, and Remembrance

Today’s post won’t be about writing. I want to take a second to talk about heroes and American strength and resilience. Wildfires in the west, hurricanes and flooding in the south and east, and the anniversary of the worst terrorist attacks on American soil. These situations have had me praying non-stop since they happened. Three … Continue reading Hurricanes, Fires, and Remembrance
