What I'm working on now: I just finished my second book, a modern paranormal mystery. I'm in the process of pitching to agents. I also started its sequel. I've shelved my historical mystery which needs an almost-complete rewrite. I'll get back to it. I also have an idea for a novel set in the NC mountains (paranormal mystery) that keeps gnawing at me.

What I used to do: Work as a game writer for ICE and White Wolf. I published about 15 pieces with them, ranging from 2000 - 30,000 words (Kinfolk may have been longer). Alas, White Wolf closed, and I've lost contact with most of my writer buddies ther ...more

Climbing Back on the Pony

Pretty much within 2 weeks of writing my New Year's post, 2018 went straight down to the 9th level of hell. It's been a year of unexpected health issues that put the brakes on writing. However, now that two surgeries and the worst of my treatments are over, I'm attempting to get back in the saddle. I got some sage advice from Kaye George, and I signed up for the NYC Flash Fiction challenge, for fu Read more of this blog post »

What I've learned since taking the Ever-Lasting Gobstopper Book Quiz:

1. People like American Poetry. Ick. I'd be delighted never to hear a Robert Frost poem again.

2. People think the greatest authors since sliced bread are F. Scott Fitzgerald, James Joyce, and John Steinbeck. I can deal with Steinbeck; he did quite a nice treatment of King Arthur. The rest, no thanks.

3. People think the hottest author since JK Rowling is Stephenie Meyer. Given a choice between Stephenie and F. Scott, though, I'll take the lady. Maybe it's not mind-blowing prose, but it's fun and really true to the angst of adolescence.

4. Some people have too much time on their hands...
