I put surprising in quotes because as readers don’t we already know this one?  How many times have you picked up a book, jazzed by the cover or the blurb […]

(Cue Willie Nelson) Funny how time just slips away… I took a blogging break in December and here it is February. I’m back! We’re in the “prep the literary contest submissions” season for writer conferences in the summer. I think I’m going to submit a short story to Pacific Northwest Writers Association called SWING THING. […]

I had a book release party for TOXIC RELATIONSHIP in Seattle last week.  About forty friends and readers gathered for a Texas feast of Green Chili Pork tacos, Pinto Beans, Guacamole, Roast Veggies and plenty of Shiner and Corona beer.  I did a few readings during the evening.  I’ve read aloud to myself and to […]

A few years ago on my journey to become an author I decided to boldly claim the dream.  In those casual conversations we all have, at a party in the neighborhood, in a grocery store line, in a barber chair with a guy wielding sharp scissors standing over me, as my dog does 360’s around […]

Seems like everyone puts out a book trailer for their novels these days, so I decided I’d add a trailer to my promotion plan.  First step — gather all of my Hollywood insiders to put together an incredible team of producers, directors, videographers, all the way to a caterer using only locally sourced, organically grown […]
