May.07.2012 Forensics, circa 1875 What I’m reading: Blood Trail, by C.J. Box; Royal Flush, by Rhys Bowen I promised to share a recap of the second forensics workshop I attended at Pikes Peak Writers Conference. Tom Adair (who’s going to be my guest tomorrow) set up a crime scene for...	Apr.26.2012 Pikes Peak Writers Conference 2 - Fingerprinting Continuing with workshop recaps from the Pikes Peak Writers Conference. There were two workshops on forensics, both given by retired forensics expert, Tom Adair. (And, he's going to be my guest on May 8th). Both were "hands on" which made a great change from sitting and taking notes. The...
Apr.23.2012 Publishing Tips from Pikes Peak Writers Conference I'm writing this shortly after walking in the door from the Pikes Peak Writers Conference. It, like all conferences, was exhausting, but in a good way. I'll be recapping the highlights. And, apologies in advance, but Blogger has had an issue with posts going up when they're scheduled in...	Apr.19.2012 Trends in Publishing? First - for those with Kindles, SAVING SCOTT is now available at the Kindle Store, and at Smashwords, as well as Barnes & Noble. Other e-tailers coming soon.

May.05.2010 Pikes Peak Writers Conference 5 Before I move on with another workshop recap, I decided I'd share an email I got from an agent I met at a conference. She'd told me to send 3 chapters, which I did. This was her response: Thanks so much for offering me the chance to consider your material. Unfortunately, your project doesn't...	May.03.2010 Pikes Peak Writers Conference 4 More Pikes Peak recaps. In case any of you are also following the progress of my move, there's more at today's post at Terry's Place. Some tidbits from the romance panel: In romance, issues can't overpower the characters. "Adonis" heroes are falling out of favor. Flawed heroes are...
Apr.29.2010 Pikes Peak Writers Conference 3 Moving progress. We went to the Post Office yesterday, where we were told our mailbox keys would be ready. No curbside delivery here, so we'll have to schlep to a bank of mailboxes at the end of the street. The half-mile or so wouldn't be too bad, but the return trip is uphill all the way. We'...	Apr.28.2010 Pikes Peak Writers Conference 2 First, a quick personal update. We will have been in the house 2 nights when you read this. We're getting acquainted with how everything works, and spending a lot of time and money at places like Wal-Mart, Costco, and BB&B! I have some new pots and pans, but we're still using paper plates...
Apr.26.2010 Pikes Peak Writers Conference 1 Things got off to a shaky start as we awoke to about a foot of snow. No way my Honda Fit was getting up the steep driveway, and the roads were a mess. A semi couldn't make it up the hill of our street. But, family is great. My daughter caught my Facebook update and picked me up, so I...
