Story ideas sometimes come in the most unusual ways and often at the strangest times. On a late July afternoon in 2015, I was driving home from work. I remembered a blue moon would occur that month. A blue moon happens when there is more than one full moon in a calendar month. (Some definitions... Continue Reading →
Hey, everyone. It’s October. A time ghosts, goblins, werewolves, vampires, and just about any other creature you can imagine. Halloween is only a few weeks away, so what time to read some spooky stories? I’ve contributed in several anthologies with other authors.

Given the main character in Unknown Reasons was a part-time drummer who loved music, it seemed fitting for... Continue Reading →
Hey y’all. It’s time for another WIP Wednesday and this time I’m sharing from a work in progress. I mentioned in the intro post for WIP Wednesday that I’m working on a book of short stories. I had several in my archives. Some are incomplete, others finished, but all in dire need of editing and... Continue Reading →
Hi, y'all. Time for another WIP Wednesday. Today's post is about a "Work in Publication." Yesterday, my book Unknown Reasons got some attention over at Marcia's blog. (If you didn't read the review, click here to see the post.) I decided to share a little more about the background to this story. When I began... Continue Reading →
Hey, y’all. A few days ago, friend and fellow author Staci Troilo and I were brainstorming ways to increase the number of blog posts we do and have a planned blogging schedule. I already had the Mystery Monday feature in mind, as well as to resume my Friday Week in Review posts. I have to... Continue Reading →
