I had a book release party for TOXIC RELATIONSHIP in Seattle last week.  About forty friends and readers gathered for a Texas feast of Green Chili Pork tacos, Pinto Beans, Guacamole, Roast Veggies and plenty of Shiner and Corona beer.  I did a few readings during the evening.  I’ve read aloud to myself and to […]

A few years ago on my journey to become an author I decided to boldly claim the dream.  In those casual conversations we all have, at a party in the neighborhood, in a grocery store line, in a barber chair with a guy wielding sharp scissors standing over me, as my dog does 360’s around […]

With the publication of TOXIC RELATIONSHIP, a phenomenon has occurred which I suppose I should have expected and yet, I feel surprised.  I have written in one form or another for years.  Those first short stories I read during “show and tell” in Mrs. Meredeth’s third grade class, my bitingly witty (to a 13 year […]

In a few days I’m going to be taking a break from writing, researching, critiquing, dog walking, dish washing — you get it.  A break.  It’s called a vacation. Something we Americans don’t do as often as we should.  I’m looking forward to a couple of weeks of rest and relaxation.  Oh we have plans. […]

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 […]
