And it's April already 04/21/2018 SIS Case Files#4 is FINALLY out and available again. At some point there may be a 5th novel or maybe just novella. I have a really hazy idea of a plot for that one, but lots of other things are occupying my time (and my brain) at the moment. The number one writing exercise at the moment is a high fantasy piece that features a nonbinary intersex character, lots of magic and out and out world building..... which is really not in my comfort zone. I'm thinking about using this blog to run it as a

Onward into 2018 03/27/2018 I have been swamped by real life in many ways. Medical crap being my biggest time suck lately. But! I have new things coming. "Primary Next of Kin" is in the editing phase. This also translates to my regular editor is opening a vein and leaving red ink. I don't have a firm release date yet, but I'm shooting for mid April at this point. The cover reveal will happen this Friday- March 30. It's a beauty. It's one I pretty much sold my soul for. The blurb will probably be available next week and

RofCon & more 02/25/2018 I have 2 more convention appearances scheduled! I'll be at Ring of Fire Con in Virginia Beach the weekend of Mar 23. I'm not sure yet which panels I'm doing yet. I'll have some hard copies of a number of my books with me at that event if you like paper books as opposed to ebooks. AND! I managed to get a slot at GRL! By happenstance it's about a dozen miles from where I live, so no major travel expenses. Yay! I'll have 1 or 2 more books by then. I'm still working on "Primary Next of Kin".

Public Events and other news 01/26/2018 I have one already scheduled public event happening in February. I'm going to be doing a panel at the Virginia Beach Central Library. There's a romance readers get together on Feb 2. There's another event, a convention, that is supposedly in the works. I may be speaking at that one too. (More updates later. The thing is in March) I finished the rough draft of Because of the Stalker... but now I'm not sure that the best title for that one, so there may be a title change before release. Release

The 101 on 1001 that starts in January 12/30/2017 I don't do New Year's Resolutions in any traditional way. A while back someone introduced me to the "101 in 1001" idea. Do 101 tasks/ goals in 1001 days. I'm soon about the 5th go round of this. I always have a mix of easily achievable, probably achievable and probably freaking impossible items in the list; To give you an idea, one goal was to walk 1001 miles. Did that. Then log 2002 miles.... well I'm up to 1249 and will probably get another 15 or so in before the time elapses. So that 2nd one

Mortgage on my Soul 12/23/2017 Remember that story that started devouring my brain in November? It's up to 16K. I was trolling through FB and saw a photo done by a pro-photographer that looked like it had been taken specially for this piece. It was a "whack me over the head I must have this" moment. In case you're not familiar with how the majority of covers are done in the genres I write- most people use royalty free photos from a number of sites and compile them with a bit a judicious photoshopping and titling. For my self
