I've decided that I really don't want to write classic suspense, but in the romance genre, everything is lumped under the "romantic suspense" sub-genre. I don't really like to read true suspense, although the market is full of it. I'm sure there are readers out there who like a good...

I love it when I write something fictional, and then find out it's true. Was it something I overheard, or read, or the Universe whispered in my ear?
I've posted a short story, "The Baby Slot," written before the law was passed in some states allowing a mother to relinquish her newborn at...

Well, another Santa Barbara Writers Conference has come and gone, and a lot of happy, exhausted writers have traveled back home, inspired, motivated and ready to tackle another year of writing and, it is hoped, publication.

I'm jealous of my time. Most authors feel the same way. Anything that takes away from creating that work-in-progress feeds my nervous tic. Yet the best books in the world never stand a chance without that "P" word getting a workout.
Talking about promotions, guys. Book promotion, self-...

My good friends over at the Isaac Woofter fan site have been so supportive of my writing. So, I thought it might fun to let them, or you, decide what I'll write next.
I have a published SciFi called Shadows Across the Moon. I have a follow up book to that. I also have an idea for a book based on a...
