Somewhere in the recent digital past, I ran across this bright young lady on Twitter and begged for a stop-over on her blog tour. Why? I like her picture. Seriously, with hair like that, how can you not like her? Secondly, she’s writing about knights and fair maidens and jousting. If my characters weren’t constantly mouthing [...]

Here’s a page I found in my empty apartment after I came home the other night – my girlfriend was gone, but the cat came back a few days later… we seem to be getting along just fine.
you really are clueless, aren’t you – sorry [...]

Sometimes you just know you’re going to love a book. Can I please pull a Jerry Maguire and say Ginger had me with the first line? Couldn’t help it—I assaulted people for days, insisting they share the brilliance of her opening barrage. Probably not the best strategy as I had to hide the book from [...]

I love this book.
Latayne Scott’s novel, Latter-Day Cipher, incorporates all the things that keep me reading all the way through-a compelling mystery, beautifully crafted phrasing and a plotline that doesn’t sag at the knees.

I spent the better part of yesterday immersed in the world of Kate Davis, feeling every pain, experiencing the mental torment. And when [...]

Writers need a place to decompress–someplace to transform from superhero to Clark Kent. I wrote my first manuscript up in a tree deck swinging in a Brazilian hammock. Very cool, not so practical once [...]

Does he start the Great American Novel?
Compose an outline for his next masterpiece?

Anything goes as [...]
