I wanted to say thank you to everyone who took part in my “Hobbit Birthday Party Weekend”. Whether you picked up a copy of the book or helped promote it, thank you so much. We all know getting the word out about a brand new book is more than half the battle for Indie Authors….
My latest Vlog entry. This time the subject is “CREATING TENSION IN YOUR STORY” and covers a very important scene in my current novel “THE SHIP” I hope you enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9_Xhh6uc8o&feature=plcp
Hi everyone. I just read on my FB page that today is “SAMPLE SUNDAY”. At least according to one of the writing groups I’m in “LitPow Writer’s Network”. So I thought, ‘Hey it’s been a while. Let’s give my readers another snippet from my work in progress…” So here’s another glimpse of “THE SHIP”. I’m…
Hello Everyone. Sorry for the long delays between posts. I’m still sharing my laptop with my wife, plus my new job has been keeping me very busy. I was supposed to have 2 days off in a row this week, then I was told that I had to come in on one of those 2…

Hello everyone. Sorry for the long silence, but as you read in my last entry I lost a dear friend, Brenda Smith. I didn’t know it at first, but she died of cancer. She never told me or many of our other friends. That was just Brenda’s way. I spent part of the morning, after…
Short and sweet entry here folks. Gotta get to class and study for a mid-term tomorrow, then another big exam for Thursday. Didn’t want to leave you with nothing. So here’s a small sampling from what should be my 2nd novel “The Ship”. It involves Cassandra and Julie, two of the main women from my…
I managed to get through my mid-term for Women Studies this week. It wasn’t easy. 2 parter, first was multiple choice, then an 80 minute handwritten essay. I’ve still got writer’s cramp from that part. Plus I had 2 other exams this week and survived them. This should all sound good right? Wrong. I’ve got…
