Fame and the Big Kid’s Table

The other day, I was out holiday shopping with one of my writer friends at a local mall. It was early enough in the week, so the walkways weren’t overly crowded and the people were still polite. We were heading toward our next destination when I hear my name squealed out. Not this name. My [...]

Words and music

Like most authors, I have a soundtrack for every book I’ve written. Depending on the characters, or the scene, or even the setting, I have a different playlist. Thank you, Pandora!  Sounds ranging from pounding electronica and soothing vocals pour into my brain as I sit in front of my laptop. Yet, very recently, I [...]

Cosmic Cabaret

Dear Readers: What’s better than taking a leisurely vacation on a full-service holiday ocean liner? Well, how about taking one on a space liner cruising the universe?

Beware the things that go bump in the night…

Halloween night routine. Sit down at computer. Hear the telltale shriek of trick-or-treaters as they pass through the maze. Stand up. Hand out candy. Smile and make polite conversation with the parents. Complement the kids of cute or unique costumes. Sit back down and set the laptop desk back into place. Rather. Rinse. Repeat. From [...]

Writing through the blank spaces

Autumn has officially reared its head, sending summer running for the hills. Time for warm sweaters, hot drinks, and nights curled up by a roaring fire, spinning yarns worthy of goose bumps and endless retellings. Then why am I staring at an empty white screen? Ideas dance just outside the ring of glowing warmth, casting [...]
