Summer. The word has different meanings to different people. For parents who work from home, it's the beginning of chaos and trying to work in a tornado of activities and kids. You want to spend time with your kids, but you don't have the luxury of taking two months off work. While some writers might have that [...]

I like to torture people

Yes I said it! But, before you reach for the phone to dial 911 it's not what you think. Over the years, I've written poetry. Really bad poetry.

Writing Challenge – Take Two

Welcome, welcome! Writing challenges are a great way to stretch yourself either in meeting a deadline or increasing your daily word counts. Here's what I learned from mine. Starting August, I'm doing another writing challenge to finish my story Deadly Bloodlines, book 1 in my Deadly Series. I'm at 48k words and aiming to get to [...]

I like it FAST!

I love fast cars. No, I don't sit on my couch on Sunday's watching cars go around a track for hours. That's not my style. What I do like however, is the look of fast cars, especially sports cars. I wouldn't necessarily want to drive one everyday, but on the weekends or to blow off [...]
