Ultimate Reading list for Summer
Posted on June 4, 2016 Leave a Comment
I am a book addict. I love the multitude of stories, the feel of the paper, the weight of a novel – everything. And I read – ALL THE TIME. I also snoop all the time when it comes to books, so I’m always stumbling across novels that grab me by accident. Recently, I taught […]
Hyannis Public Library Event!

Rule #1 to being a writer: Be a reader. And don’t read what people expect you to read. Read the wild side. The dark side. Root for the bad guy and the good guy. A great book transforms your world. Steals you away to another dimension where the dog isn’t barking and the kids aren’t […]

Writing the Edge

Character Craft and Writing in Reverse

I don’t plot characters. There – I admit it. I totally roll on gut instinct when I write for my cast. That said, I could never actually write them at all if I didn’t know two things: Who they were born as (personality, emotion, natural abilities, etc). How they evolved as a result of their […]
In Defense of Insta-Love

I do three things when I’m trolling the aisles of heaven (re: bookstore), searching for a few new books to burn my paycheck on: Seek out a kick-ass cover. Read the back jacket. Read the first page . . . and maybe the Goodreads reviews. Let me tell ya – I’ve learned one thing about Goodreads […]

First of all, I know what you’re going to say. You’re going to say that the sheer volume of characters in my novels is my own stupid fault. That I was a doofus and basically unleashed the population of a small movie theater (on a Harry Potter premier night) into my imagination and said, “Sure […]
