It’s my goal for today. 200 more words to finish the current Matty scene. Then I can switch it over to Mina and give her some action. And I get a treat! Trying to keep my goals small and manageable so that I keep chugging along. While I hate feeling so behind schedule, I do […]
For once, not a typo. But I’m still not writing. Well, I am writing. Just not at the level of output I’m used to. A few hundred words a day, tops. Which is frustrating for me. I love pounding out words. There is no greater joy than watching that word count rise (Well, nothing regarding my kids counts […]
All the other writers are doing it, so I thought, maybe I should too! So, yes, I made a mailing list! I promise not to bombard you with stuff. I’m thinking twice a month. Once on publishing day, and again about two weeks later. That second one will be the sole home of my flash […]
The fifth installment of Monsters of Pittsburgh is live today! The situation is tense in the Steel City. Rick and Mina still haven’t dealt with their issues, and Matty’s stress levels are on the rise. When an assassin comes for Dean, only an old friend can save him. It’s 2.99 to buy or free with […]
This Monday my novella, Monsters of Pittsburgh: Humans, will be available for purchase. So here’s the opening: The bar was loud and crowded despite it being a Thursday night. Mina sat on a stool, trying not to glare at the people who jostled her. She was here with her boss, Jennelle, who knew her as […]

So all my friends are posting their New Year’s Writing Resolutions. And here I am, coffee and stuffed French toast, and I realized that writing-wise, I’m in a good place. I mean, I’m always learning and trying to improve, but really I’m good. I wished I had finished the finale of the final series, still […]
Vacation is a dangerous thing. I’m sleeping way too much. And I have all kinds of administrative stuff to do for my stories, but I’m not. I am, however, getting some writing done. And making cookies. *shrugs* It’s the holidays.
Oof, I can’t believe how fast and yet how slow this week has gone. Being Santa’s amazon is exhausting. What I haven’t been doing is writing. Yes, I’ve turned nocturnal because of this. I did luckily have a breakthrough last night. Matty and Mina finally got their act together. I’m not saying I’ll finish before […]
A little something I wrote for a friend: It had to be the most boring party ever. The guys huddled around the beer pong table, congratulating themselves on trick shots, mostly peacocking for the nearly identical blondes, who stood in a giggling group, feigning disinterest. Chelsea tried to push away the negativity. Four months ago, […]
