Mystery, Romantic Suspense, Legends, Folklore
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. We’re coming up on October, the time of the year when I think of ghosts and goblins, bright, full moons, and legends. Even a headless horseman. This week's WIP Wednesday is both a work in publication and a work in progress. Several years ago, when I did a First Friday Fiction post each... Continue Reading →
Hey, everyone. A couple of weeks ago, I shared a photo of a house that served as inspiration for a short story. I first wrote and published this piece several years ago as First Friday Fiction.

It’s hard to believe five years have passed since I began writing the first draft of Unseen Motives. There were many times I thought I’d never complete it—let alone edit and... Continue Reading →

Unfortunately, I was only able to see a partial eclipse... Continue Reading →
