You know why I write? Because it allows me to be invisible . . . somewhat. I can tell these elaborate whoppers in literary form and hide behind the pages. And people like to be told tall tales – who’d thunk it? Of course, once the story is out (and you inadvertently gain some hard-core […]
Meet the UNDERTOW cast – Ana Lane
Posted on October 7, 2013 Leave a Comment
Every character in UNDERTOW has their own back story – not just little details, but HUGE stories. I wrote it that way so that readers would connect with multiple characters and not just Eila and Raef. As book review blog Twin Spin writes, “Although there was one main character in Eila, there was a great and […]
Meet the UNDERTOW cast – Christian Raines
Posted on October 3, 2013 Leave a Comment
In searching for faces to represent UNDERTOW, there were a couple of characters that I didn’t really think I would even try to find. For one, I knew no one who could fit the bill for either Christian Raines or Rilin West. Secondly, they were “big reveal” characters, therefore I was unsure if I could […]
Meet the Undertow Cast – MJ Williams

Finding MJ was up there with finding Kian – basically I was screwed. I had resorted to digging through RF sights and praying I could drop a nameless model into what I needed. But after weeks of searching, I came up with a big, fat NOTHING. When I relayed the fact that I needed a […]
Meet the Undertow Cast – Nikki Shea
Posted on September 30, 2013 Leave a Comment
When I wrote the character known as Nikki Shea, I never wanted her to be the typical mean girl. Most people who read the novel though, automatically assumed she was a stick-thin blonde. But in my head? In my head she was Jessica Rabbit crossed with Scarlett O’Hara. She was this curvaceous brunette who knew […]
Meet the Undertow Cast – Kian O’Reilly
Posted on September 29, 2013 Leave a Comment
I honestly didn’t think I was going to find someone to represent Kian O’Reilly. In fact, I had started searching through RF photos (random model shots) in an attempt to find the character. I always used young Friday Night Lights actor, Taylor Kitsch, as my baseline when writing for Kian. And I was sure there […]
Meet the Undertow Cast – Raef Paris

When I was searching for faces of the UNDERTOW characters, I found it exceedingly difficult to match a real face to a fictional character. A character who had lived in my head for YEARS. Raef O’Reilly (Paris) was a HUGE player in UNDERTOW. He is an immortal killer who decides to protect Eila against his […]
Meet The UNDERTOW Cast – Eila Walker
Posted on September 27, 2013 2 Comments
When I was writing UNDERTOW, I had a huge desire to find local Cape Cod kids to be the models for the story. Finding them, however, wasn’t so easy. But when Kim Rocha, a Cotuit resident and UNDERTOW Beta reader, said she believed “Eila Walker” was the girl who lived next to her, I had […]

WHY INDEX CARDS ARE A WRITER’S BFF So, recently I finished the first novel in a new series I am working on, known as UNDERTOW. You’re like, “No kidding? I would have never known except it is ALL OVER YOUR BLOG!” Well . . . let me tell ya a secret: I didn’t write UNDERTOW […]
BOOK REVIEW: GREAT AUNT SOPHIA’S LESSONS FOR BOMBSHELLS (ADULT FICTION)
Posted on September 9, 2012 4 Comments
GREAT AUNT SOPHIA’S LESSONS FOR BOMBSHELLS by LISA CACH I simply couldn’t put this down – read it cover to cover in one day. Lisa Cach is riotous. While it is entirely possible I understand the feminist humor in this because I am a fellow graduate of the oldest all women’s college in the country […]
