Hi, Everyone. At book events, it’s very common for people to look at my covers, then furrow their brows, and it takes awhile for it to register. Then it’s like, “How cool!” They’re talking about the tag-line under the title, The Sign Behind The Crime. I’m not an astrologer. In the past, I did nothing […]

Hi everyone, today I have the pleasure of hosting Black Opal Books sister author, Kathleen Kaska and her new non-fiction release. I’m sure you’ll find this book helpful. Do You Have a Catharsis Handy? Five-Minute Writing Tips had their origins as Cave Art Press blog posts. The tips include writing styles, grammar and punctuation rules, […]

Hi everyone, this has certainly been a long pregnancy. And just like having a human-baby, releasing a book-baby into the world comes with its own excitement, trials and tribulations.

What a challenging few weeks it’s been for my state of Florida. Irma hit us hard. Some areas are still without power as of this writing. I’m feeling completely blessed because through it all, we didn’t lose power. Just for two minutes, the lights went out, and we hurried to get the candles lit and […]

Hi, Everyone, I’m sitting here in my living room watching QVC on a Saturday afternoon, and it dawned on me that I haven’t written a blog in several weeks. I’m expecting edits on Scorpio any day now from my publisher. Scorpio is the third book in The Sign Behind The Crime series. I know when […]

Hi all, this is going to be a shorter blog today. With preparation for the workshop I gave yesterday to my writer’s chapter and the community, Marketing: The Monster In The Closet, and working on the fourth book of the series, Libra while waiting for my edits on Scorpio, blogging fell by the wayside. It’s […]

Hi Everyone, Wow! I knew 2017 was going to be jumping for me! I certainly worked hard enough, and know what I put forward is manifesting.
