I write regularly and consistently. I read a lot, too. And I don't let perfection stop me from getting through a draft.

It's like being in love. A natural high. And if I can pass on a little bit of that storytelling high to my readers, it makes me so happy.

Oh, and it's a great commute, too. ;-)(less)

“There’s a lot we can do alone, but to face life — with all its joys and its difficulties — you need a helping hand. And sometimes the hardest part of facing a challenge is asking for that help.”
M.P. Black, The Soggy Cannoli Murder

“A bookstore holds treasures that look different to every person,”
M.P. Black, A Bookshop to Die For

“I’m all right,” he said. “I know you are. But sometimes, even if we’re all right, we still need a hug.”
M.P. Black, Sambuca, Secrets, and Murder
