#IGAuthorLifeJan – DAY 11 Writing Snack Seriously? I thought M&Ms were mandatory in all writer realms . . .

#IGAuthorLifeJan – DAY 10 #Amwriting #Amrevising Truth: I’m always writing, even though sometimes it’s in my head. Right now, however, I am focused on Last Light. Though I am itching to try my hand at some new characters and worlds, I adore my Undertow crew and want to send them out in wild style with […]

#IGAuthorLifeJan – DAY 8 Sock Wednesday Okay folks – I’ve got this one in the bag! I’m a SOCK FREAK! My favorite sock company is Stance, and I can even remember when I got my first pair – an impulse buy thanks to my mom at a surf shop in West Palm Beach. They are […]
#IGAuthorLifeJan – DAY 5 My Writing Uniform

#IGAuthorLifeJan – DAY 5 My Writing Uniform So, the idea that I have a writing uniform that is anything beyond my ancient college duds and what I can scam off my 16 year old daughter, is laughable. I wear what is clean and comfy, y’all. Don’t look for me in anything trendy, although in this […]
#IGAuthorLifeJan Day 2 – Goals
Posted on January 2, 2017 Leave a Comment
So, today for the #IGAuthorLifeJan the theme is “Goals.” This is also known as “Lies formerly known as goals before life got in the way,” but hey . . . wadda I know, right? So, if I could shoot for the moon, then my goals would be to wrap Last Light up in March and have […]
#IGAuthorLifeJan Day 1 – Happy New Year
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 […]
Inside the Concepts of a Killer Nightclub
Posted on December 3, 2016 Leave a Comment
They say news comes in two forms: Good and Bad. The Good: I’m working on Last Light. The Bad: It’s gonna be huge and my fingers are bleeding. Sometimes I’m stalled in my writing by simply needing to come out of the story to do research so I can feel my way through a setting […]
Why do I Write in Reverse?
Posted on April 28, 2016 Leave a Comment
Not long ago I was on the phone with another author friend while hashing out a story idea I had. When I was done, she replied, “Dude – you’re incapable of writing a straight contemporary story.” Word. The truth is, she’s right. I mean, I COULD do it, but at some point there would be a sizable, […]
Writing the Edge
Posted on February 27, 2016 Leave a Comment
If you were to ask ten authors how they came up with their first book, they’d tell you it was a story that stuck with them. One that played over and over in their mind, desperate to be told. The same applies to me, especially with Undertow (though I’ll admit that Undertow evolved into this […]
In Defense of Insta-Love
Posted on December 23, 2015 3 Comments
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 […]
