Let me start this review off by saying that I do not often read Stephen King. I started The Stand a long time ago but my son was all of three years old at the time and the dead children disturbed me so much I couldn't move forward with the book. I'm sure I could… Continue reading Book Review – On Writing by Stephen King

Video Games vs Reading
Among the many hats that I wear, I am the proud parent of an extremely creative little boy. Some time ago I got him a Wii for Christmas, but the motor wore out so he was game-less for quite a while - unless he went to his friend's house. After observing my son in both… Continue reading Video Games vs Reading
Authors Who Inspire Me
My son knelt beside the sofa, his Lego toys spread out on the cushions as he created little stories involving Star Wars and Batman and the occasional Ninja, while I curled up nearby with a book. It was a familiar book, a favored volume with yellowed pages and a cracked binding from too much use,… Continue reading Authors Who Inspire Me
Round Robin Blog Tour – Time to Read and Write
The alarm goes off at 6:30 AM every morning and I drag myself from bed just long enough to hit the snooze button. It's a ritual at this point; no sooner has the Band of Brother's soundtrack begun than I've cut it off, grumbling something incoherent before flopping back onto my pillow. At this point… Continue reading Round Robin Blog Tour – Time to Read and Write

(Take a moment to admire Chris Howard's amazing artwork on the cover! I absolutely love it!) Now then ...

Nearing “The End”
By the close of this week I will have finished the edits on Tapped. I started this book two years ago for Camp NaNoWriMo and sent its second draft to a wonderful editor by the name of Gabriel Fitzpatrick. (Authors, if you ever see him advertising to do some work, take him up on it.… Continue reading Nearing “The End”
Attack of the Secondary Character – Round Robin Discussion
The beast roared again. It knew Relo was there. It had known the moment he’d walked into the cave, its heightened sense of taste and smell had alerted the beast to this trespass. But Relo had anticipated this. In thirty-four years as a Tapped Acolyte he’d hunted every species Nellis had to offer. He knew… Continue reading Attack of the Secondary Character – Round Robin Discussion
Deviation Release!
If I had spaceship shaped confetti I would totally be throwing it everywhere right now! My first ever science fiction, Deviation, has been released by Double Dragon Publishing. For right now I only have the publisher's purchase link but as soon as it becomes available on Amazon and Barnes&Noble I'll be certain to shove those… Continue reading Deviation Release!
Favorite Scenes — Dead Magic Edition
I promised I'd post my favorite scene from the upcoming novel Dead Magic so ... here we go. Once again, I'm not one of those people who likes spoilers ... Unless I get invested in a character, then I have to know if they survive the book/story. No, really, I flip to the end of… Continue reading Favorite Scenes — Dead Magic Edition
Book Review – Incantation by Annamaria Bazzi
The beginning of this book was a little rough. I had a hard time understanding what was going on, which might have been done on purpose since the character didn't know what was going on either. As a reader this was a trifle frustrating since I prefer to know just a little bit more than… Continue reading Book Review – Incantation by Annamaria Bazzi
