And once again I find myself saying, I am writing, I promise!!! As before, since I do disappear often I am reluctant to offer release dates, but I am back to work on Stolen Sun. I will try to start posting on here again.

Full Circle
My very first book Adventures of the Soul was published as an erotic romance with Loose Id back in 2005. The book never sold well but was always reviewed highly and readers loved it. I never understood why it didn’t sell well when everyone who read it praised it. Then I started reading Cozy Mysteries […]
Why The Long Hiatus?
Where have I been? The past three years have been difficult. Sadly my little critique group has been through the ringer. As some of you may know, my good friend, Ally Blue, passed away. Unfortunately, it didn’t stop there, we suffered other losses and other heartbreaks. It really has been a rough couple of years. […]
Scrivener Themes
I looked something up about Scrivener this weekend and accidentally found that people are selling Scrivener themes on Etsy. This lead me to look into it and I found that it’s extremely easy to create new themes on Scrivener.

I was shooting for the end of the year, but it’s looking like it might be the first quarter of next year. […]
Valuable Writing Tools
I always want to do these little character sheets and setting sheets and stuff that I see all these other authors doing. And The first couple of years I actually tried some of them, only to realize that it slowed me way down and did not improve my process. Now I look at things to […]
Seven Things About Editing
1) A great editor is worth their weight in gold. Sadly, as writers, we don’t usually have the option of choosing our editors. I’ve worked with a few and can honestly say that not all editors are created equal. Let’s face it, our manuscripts are very precious to us and we don’t like the idea […]
Writing Books for Writers
Since I’m coming back to writing after a bit of a hiatus, I got to wondering if there was anything I could do to up my efficiency. I want to write faster, better, etc. So I pulled out all my old writing books and I thought I’d share some of the really good ones with […]
