I’m going on a social media diet.

Why? 

Because social media can be a huge time suck and scrolling through posts often leaves me feeling blue whether it’s because I feel inadequate or I’m just plain overwhelmed.

That said, there’s an incredible author community on FB and Twitter and through it I’ve forged strong friendships with people I probably would not have otherwise met. 

For that reason, I am not “quitting” or “going cold turkey” on social media, nor do I plan to. But I’m s...

Exciting news. My 4th book, On the Fence, will be released by Bella Books next month. It’s about a group of female art thieves and is available for pre-order.

My wife and I recently moved. For us, this is not unusual. We’ve moved a lot in our twenty year relationship. Like fifteen times. Friends and family make jokes about our propensity to pull up the tent stakes. As I mentioned in an earlier post, many of our moves have been job related, but not all. 

Moving is stressful, that’s for sure, but setting up a new house can be fun once the actual moving part is over. Which drawer should we use for silverware? Which cupboard for wine glasses? Where...
