The Music I Write To
Ugh. That just feels wrong, doesn’t it? Ending a clause with a preposition? Well, the Elements of Style tells me to ‘write how I talk’. It’s also a title. So there you have it. But that’s not what this is about. This is about the music I listen to when I’m writing. I don’t very […]
Happy New Year!
With all eight of my books edited, updated and published, I have begun my next endeavor. At the end of Hello, World, Cory took Shawn on a cruise. She met a woman who was able to spend some time with her and answer questions. Shawn’s questions were of the Should I quit my job and […]
Hello, World!
After a huge night last night of 6000-plus words, and a huge morning where I awoke and started writing at 7:30 and added another 6500 words, I have completed my eighth novel. It is likely to be called Hello, World! because I think it is most fitting. It is the story of a missing satellite, […]

Hardcovers Available
Hello, friends, foes, fans and family. I’ve some exciting news to share. As you’ve probably already seen on the home page, my novels are now appearing – one-by-one – in hardcover format! This excites me greatly. I’ve always wanted my own books on my bookshelf sitting next to my favorite authors, in hardcover format. Complete […]
Website
Hello, friends. My site, as you may have noticed, has been down for a while. An embarrassingly long while, in fact. I just haven’t had the care or desire lately that I used to possess for designing and updating websites. Here’s the thing. I went through a tacky divorce and lost a lot of things. […]
