Yesterday we climbed aboard Segways and toured historic Tucson. It was a great and unexpected birthday treat and a wonderful way to get to know our new home town a bit better. I'm still trying to understand why standing on a machine that did all the work of moving me about built up my appetite...

A copy of my newest newsletter: Issue 5 October 17, 2010 HWH Newsletter #5 - The Forward, Backward, and Standing Still Issue Geeze, I've been quiet a long time. Sorry, but lately I've done a lot of nothing, writing-wise, and didn't want to bore you nice folks with a newsless newsletter...

Happy 10-10-10 Day!
What will you be doing (or what were you doing, depending on when you read this) at 10:10 AM on 10-10-10? I'm thinking that since it's so many nice round numbers, I should celebrate by getting rounder. Maybe I'll munch down on chocolate eclairs with one of those high-end,...

We're here!
Our move from Albuquerque to Tucson was anything but smooth, but we made it. I'd have posted something sooner, but we had very limited internet access for the last month plus. Here's a condensed version of our last couple of months.
We signed a contract to sell our Abq home to...

We've loved our 7 years in Albuquerque, especially the last 5 in this neighborhood and house, but we're selling our home, buying a new one, and moving to Tucson. We're also selling ALL OUR STUFF. This means the table where I took my meals from childhood to now, furniture Jack's used daily for...

I stumbled on an interesting site, especially for writers. You input writing samples, and it analyzes your style and tells you who you write like. I put in the prologue from my unpublished novel, Above Haldis Notch, which is a paranormal thriller/magical realism novel. It told me I write like...

Loved seeing my novel Struck listed as a recommended summer read over at author Cullan Hudson's Strange State - Paranormal Mysteries and More site. Here's what Cullan had to say:

We live in Albuquerque, in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains, and an arroyo abuts our back yard. For those not familiar, in this area, it doesn't rain often, but it can rain very hard. When that happens, a bunch of water needs a place to go. Fast. Arroyos channel water and prevent flooding. Our...

The high winds in Albuquerque today are playing havoc with our blooming irises. One with three large blooms was blown to the ground, so I clipped it and made it an indoor cut flower. It looked so nice I photographed it and posted it on Facebook. See?
My highly talented artist friend, Cullan...

I've loved Dark Knowledge's cover since I first saw it. The artist, Renee Rocco, did a great job of capturing the feel of the novel.
The cover was recently selected as a finalist in a contest. Take a look and vote for your favorite cover over at Susan Whitfield's blog.
And while I'm on the...

Or is it only me?
I'm an introvert, which I'm sure is a shock. Aren't most writers? That aspect of my personality worked well for me when all I did was write, but it's not so handy now that I have two books to hawk. I was "out there" for a few months. I did several talks for various...
