Talking About Books for a Worthy Cause
I’m excited and gratified to share that I’ve been invited to speak at an Author Luncheon on April 15 benefiting the Sacramento Children’s Home Friends of the Crisis Nurseries. This is a fantastic opportunity to support an organization I believe in, and to share my thoughts on writing and reading with a room full of people who also love books.
It’s truly an honor, and I hope to not only be an interesting guest, but also to bring awareness to the Crisis Nursery and the critical services...

Inspiration vs. Motivation
Toward the end of 2019, I got really productive and finished two first drafts, which was gratifying, and then started editing them, which is painstaking, and began to think about marketing, which is downright painful.
And now here I am, writing a post to remind myself why this part needs to happen.
After I came back from a trip to Honolulu last August, I started working on a sequel to my January 2019 release Spiders in a Dark Web. I had another story to tell about the characters, and I’d been...

Books We Love to Binge
There’s nothing like a good binge. We watched Season 3 of “Stranger Things” in about two days and it was glorious. But when I think of life’s most satisfying binges, reading has a slight edge over TV and movies, maybe because it existed for me long before Netflix or Amazon Prime Video, or even DVD box sets. For decades, if I wanted to curl up and really dive in, the options were limited to books.

I’d like to think that the books I write work as binge-by-the-pool kinds of reads...

Inspiration from an Unexpected Place
After a December and January of intensive book marketing and back-to-back paperback releases, I fell back, somewhat exhausted, into my safe, familiar routine of writing and editing. The only downside to being an indie author, as far as I’m concerned, is that unless you hire professionals, you have to be your own marketing team and publisher—and if, like me, you’re not especially good at the publicity and business side of things, your books might not sell a whole lot.
The upsides are worth it,...

Adventures in Indie Book Marketing
Happy 2019! The year started off on a fun note for me, with all the excitement of a new book release. Though it’s my 13th time publishing a book, I pushed myself to do a lot more this time in terms of both increased editing cycles and release marketing.
I think the former was far more successful than the latter, but the marketing was an interesting experience overall. I followed a helpful BookBub list of ways to promote a book release. Some were obviously not viable, some would have been cool...

NEW RELEASE: Spiders in a Dark Web
A new title from the author of the Sliding Sideways suspense series will be released for Kindle on Jan. 1.
Spiders in a Dark Web: A novel of romantic suspense[image error] Just beyond my sight was a vast menacing darkness, a web of greed and lies and violence. It touched me, had touched my parents, though we never knew it existed. And now that I’d seen it, I couldn’t ever go back to unseeing. I was a part of it now. Connected by a dozen different strands, held fast by its sha...
