Posted on January 1, 2017 Leave a Comment
Happy New Year! So, 2016 was, well, interesting. Okay, more like one long session of torture at the base of Mordor, especially if you had to survive the US election with your brain cells intact. I didn’t get much writing done in 2016, but after a health issue (and the enormous selflessness of so many […]

“Puke and rally, puppy dog. We’re needed on the rooftop.” – Kian, Last Light When I first started writing the Undertow series, I had no clue what the characters would do for people. What their lives and their story would mean to people. And honestly, I had no clue the impact that the fictional world and […]

Ultimate Reading list for Summer

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 […]
