I have to admit, I was ill prepared for a review like this. It left me breathless, and hyper and ecstatic beyond words. I set my expectations very low so I wouldn’t be disappointed when they started rolling in. I’ve seen some good writers filleted by reviewers, and who isn’t a bit insecure in...

Last night I went to my daughter's dance recital at her magnet school. Fantastic, the girl has grace that her mother never ever had.
Case and point - I step into the theater, miss a step and sprawl on the ground. Mortification, people crowding asking if I'm ok. Muttering, hand flowers to a...

Ok folks, pretend it’s Friday for just a minute. I was so intense in my quest to pound out 1k yesterday that I completely forgot about my blog. Oops. Sorry.
With that said, my first order of business is April shout outs: I’ve only got notice of two releases from my Backspace brethren and...

I'm not very good at playing the waiting game. As a matter of fact I hate it in any aspect of my life. I'm thinking that comes from the utter control freak that resides at my core. I've learned to loosen up in a lot of aspects over the years, but impatience is not one that little pain in the ass...

A’ight, it’s March 19th and this week the weather has been fantastic. Enough so that I’m getting antsy to get out in the sunshine and tan up. I hate being winter pale, don’t you?
This kind of weather makes it so hard not to break down and play hooky from daily responsibilities. I remember...

All right, I just upgraded my phone - first time in over three years and now I have to learn new technology and reset my speed dials and get my nice ring tones again.
I resisted because my phone was perfectly good - a perfectly good dinosaur that is - but I was at the store with my daughter and...

Before I get into my normal rambling, I’d like to give a shout out for my Backspace friends and their March releases and March is a busy month.
March 1 had three releases, Claudia Gray’s HOURGLASS, Clea Simon’s GREY MATTERS and J. T. Ellison – THE COLD ROOM. March 2nd releases include...

I don't have a lot to say tonight. I'm a bit under the weather, still fighting the last remnants of a migraine and thus am having a hard time with thought streams at the moment.
I can't believe February is almost over. We haven't had much of a winter up here in northeastern Connecticut, unlike...

I figured since I'm knee deep in reviewing submissions for Allegory and operating as a content editor for both eXcessica and FIDO, I'd take a moment to talk about what I am looking for in a story.
I lead a very busy life between my day job, my writing, my marketing efforts and operating in an...

Happy Friday everyone.
I’ve been looking at my next pile of books to polish up and get into the land of the published. This is my FBI thriller series that starts off with a book currently called Mirror Lake. In comparison with the other titles in the series, this is pretty docile and a little...

First before I get into this blog, I want to give some space to a couple Backspacers that have February releases: Christa Allan's Walking on Broken Glass came out on February 1st and Carla Buckley's The Things That Keep Us Here comes out on the 9th along with Lisa...

Another Friday - another blog. This time I asked my friends and fan base over at Facebook what they'd like me to talk about this evening. I got some great ideas but the first post intrigued me. For the others that piped in, I'll tackle your ideas in subsequent Friday posts.

Hey all.
I was chatting with a co-worker today and asked him - what should I write about in my blog tonight? Of course he, being a he, said write about the AFC and NFC championships and make a prediction. I smiled and raised an eyebrow.
I have to admit, I had to look up who the teams...

Another week, another blog and this time I decided to focus on the Backspace Conference considering there are two weeks left to get the discounted registration rate.
I had an absolute blast at the conference and learned a great deal about the inner workings of the publishing world. In addition...

This week has been quite an experience starting with the receipt of my Survival Games ARCs. Wow, let me tell you cutting the tape off the box and pulling out that first copy was surreal. It’s been a dream of mine since high school, and I had the pleasure of sharing it with my folks who were at...
