2. I enjoy writing realistic people in fantastic places with intricate plots. Mystery/Thriller with maybe a bit of the Science Fiction and Fantasy mixed in. My preference for reading is really a case-by-case basis. I don't have a favorite genre to read really, so long as it's written well.

3. Legend of the Archon: Harlow and the Chalkwalker

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

It's my debut novel. First one I've ever written! Released last week!

4. Something interesting about me? Gosh, I don't know.

Is it cheating if I say I wrote a book? I mean, that's pretty interesting if you ask me.

Someone says to me, "Hey, I'm an Author."

First thing I would say is, "Wow, that's so interesting."

Maybe that's a bit on the nose.

Okay. Uhh--I got it!

I used to be a janitor... It was a crappy job.

2. Romance right now, but I've sketched ideas for general fiction and magical realism - love to read many genres including indie romance, general and classic fiction, and history, but excluding all horror and most thrillers and fantasy (have made exceptions for Harry Potter, occasionally Stephen King, and I went through a Dan Brown phase which I guess are thrillers?)

3. A Walk Along Forbidden Drive , Parts 1 and 2 (contemporary erotic romance)

4. I grew up in NY and was taught that anything other than heterosexual sex within the confines of marriage is heinously sinful and makes God mad at you, which I believed for a long time. Now I've written an erotic romance, woo hoo!
