My Next Project, Part 2
Last week’s post was about lessons learned from my first four novels. Genre matters, and try as I might, romance is not my forte.

For this first post of 2016, rather than resolutions, I want to share my priorities for the year. Stay in the moment. Whatever’s happening…

A Quick Six Months
Tomorrow my friend graduates from the rehab program he entered six months ago. Half a year has passed a lot faster than either of us expected. Time flies. If you’re looking for a good rehab facility, I highly recommend Bridges of Hope. Six months ago, I was skeptical. They don’t accept insurance, employ no professionals,…

Introducing Whippersnapper!
At long last, I’m thrilled to introduce Whippersnapper. To celebrate, I’m giving away a $10 Amazon gift card. See below for details. My fourth novel is a humorous story about three people whose paths cross at the Fit as a Fiddle gym in Fallisville, Kentucky. You won’t find Fallisville on any maps. It’s a made up…
