People often ask me, what do I do when I’m not writing. I’m always somewhat bemused because even when I’m not physically writing, I’m usually crafting the next story in my head. The thing is, writers never stop creating. Even when we are on a break, we inevitably come up with something to keep our…

Preparing to Write Your Novel
My books have all been reformatted and the two books which I wrote for my sons company have been released. I am now free to start on my next project. Seeds of the Damned, the story of Rafe and Hattie, has been months in the making. My outline is coming together and I have started…
Author Musings-When Your Family & Friends Don’t Read Your Book
I came across an interesting discussion on Twitter the other day. A fellow author had posed a question to us in the writing community. Why doesn’t my family or friends read my work?

Wings of The Warrior Update: Dreams vs. Reality

A Writer’s Top Ten: Behavior & Perks
I’m always excited to do a blog post with fellow writer Valerie Day Sanchez. Today we are going to explore our shared opinions on being a writer and what that means. Being a writer is like no other job. It is fraught with a plethora of emotions and quirks that are unique to the profession….
So, you want to write a book…
I think the question that I, and probably most writers, get frequently is how do I write a book. I must confess that I’m not sure how to answer that question. I kind of feel like, in the words of my dad, you either poop or get off the pot. I’m sure there are…
