I love movies. Always have. The darkened theaters, the smell of the popcorn, the hush that descends as soon as the curtains open. But even more, I’ve always loved the classics. Big, sweeping stories. Ben Hur. Spartacus. Movies that had intermissions they were so long. I have my mother to thank for curating this love [...]
Sounds like a crazy question coming from an author claiming to have written five of them. But that doesn't make the query any less valid. For most people, when you say romance, images of heart-shaped candy boxes, long stemmed red roses, and probably bearskin rugs and roaring fires pop into mind. But is that it? [...]
I do! Why is it that some people think that all authors are good at this? Stories? Those things I've got. You want a fantasy about a family of royal chipmunks and their battle for supremacy of the ancient oak castle? It might take me a while, but I could come up with something. But [...]
So much to do... Book four is well on it's way. Peaceful Guardian Anton has his hands full with his fiery spiritmate, Danika and I am loving it. The Rise of the Stria is in the hands of a new publishing house, Fiery Seas. Soon, the romantic sci-fi trilogy will be gracing bookshelves, digital as [...]

Ideas dance just outside the ring of glowing warmth, casting [...]
Like many people around the world lately, I've been watching the Olympics. The pageantry, the power, and the dedication is always such an inspiration. One quick comment caught my attention. It was during a commercial, of all things, but don't ask me what they were advertising. US gymnast Simone Biles said she spends 300 days [...]
