Seems like everyone puts out a book trailer for their novels these days, so I decided I’d add a trailer to my promotion plan.

Those first short stories I read during “show and tell” in Mrs. Meredeth’s third grade class, my bitingly witty (to a 13 year […]

I just got back from the Pacific Northwest Writers Association. “Just got back” is a bit of a stretch, since the conference happened in Seattle, just a quick twenty minute commute from my house. Writers gravitate to these conferences for a number of reasons: to see colleagues and be with other writers, to attend workshops […]

I’m excited to have Angelica Hart and Zi in the blog house for an interview. To say these two authors combined, have been prolific, is a bit of an understatement. Between them they have thirty seven titles published and over five hundred shorts in various magazines and newspapers. And the awards! EPPIE finalist for three […]
