Thoughts on audio books and cozy mysteries.

Cozy Capers

Once upon a time, I commuted a total of 2 hours each day, Monday through Friday, in some of the most pitiless, soul-sucking, mind-numbing traffic known to humankind. Every day brought smashups, unexplained lane closures, and what I call DDD— dangerously delusional driving.How did I survive without becoming a casualty or getting sent to prison? Unabridged cozy mysteries–first on tapes, then on CDs, then as digital downloads.

I had so man...

Great run-down of Foyle’s War, the wonderful British on-screen cozy mystery.

Cozy Capers

I love a good British mystery. I grew up with them on PBS (in the dark times, before cable and streaming services like Roku and Amazon Prime) and these days, they’re easier to find than ever. One I’d like to recommend is Foyle’s War.

This series, which ran from 2002-2015 (twenty-eight episodes) is set in wartime Britain, beginning around early 1940 and continuing into the 1950s and the Cold War. Created...

I know some of you, dear readers, LOVE listening to audio books. Many of you have begged me to get the rest of the Sunwalker Saga into audio book form. Unfortunately, that hasn’t been possible.

UNTIL NOW!

I recently signed a contract with Audible to produce the last three Sunwalker Saga books as audio books. HUZZAH!

I have no idea what the timeline is, but when I do, I’ll pass it on. In the meantime, sign up for my mailing list so you’ll be the first to know when the audio books are available...

I have been asked many times by loyal readers why I don’t do Amazon pre-orders. Honestly, I’d love to, but I can’t. Or rather, I won’t. Here is why: The system is fatally flawed and Amazon has yet to fix it in the many months the option has been available. It has caused many authors loss of readers, time, money, and their good name.

If you want more details on what’s been going on, read this excellent article by Passive Guy.

The long and short of it is,I will NEVER do pre-orders on Amazon unt...

Kissing Mr. Darcy

Like half the women in the known universe, Emma Roberts is in love with Mr. Darcy. When the opportunity to live in London presents itself, she jumps at the chance determined to find her own Mr. Darcy. Alas, the road to true love isn’t quite as smooth as one might hope.

Nik Archer is no Mr. Darcy. Sure, he’s sexy as all get out, but he doesn’t quite fit the bill. Still, Emma can’t help but be drawn to him even though she knows it will never work.

“Angel’s Fall has everything you love and crave about paranormal romance: addicting swoon, edge-of-your-seat angst, and a leading guy who leaves you breathless.

This weekend was a crazy mess of fun and exhaustion. My second ever comic con and first time at Rose City Comic Con. It was so busy Saturday I barely got away from the table! Got away a little more on Sunday, but there was so much to see, I only caught a fraction of it.

It was so great seeing readers I’d met at Wizard World Portland back in January. A couple of themliterally hunted me down so they could grab their copies of Kissed by Eternity! lol I met new readers, too, and got to introduce...

Had an amazing time this past weekend at Passion in Portland 2015. Met some great authors, awesome readers, AND got to make a fool of myself at karaoke. Let’s just say I’m REALLY looking forward to PiP 2016!

Coming up this weekend is another event I’ve really been looking forward to: Rose City Comic Con. This will be my first time at this Comic Con and I’m really looking forward to it.

You can find me and fantasy author Miranda Mayer at table Q8 in the Artists’ Alley. Be sure to stop by and...

I figured it was only fair I answer my own questions, since everyone else had to. So, just in time for Passion In Portlandtomorrow, I present you our final author: Me!

What sparked the idea for your latest novel? Was there a specific “Ah—ha!” moment?

My most recently published work is the second book in the Sunwalker Saga:Witchblood series, Deathwalker. The series come from my inability to let go of the world I’d created in the original Sunwalker Saga. ButDeathwalkeritself was a little more.....

What sparked the idea for your latest novel? Was there a specific “Ah—ha!” moment?

My soon to published fourth novel is the last in the Love Bug series entitled Mosquito Chase. I hadn’t actually planned a fourth book for this series. I had published Watching Fireflies in August 2014 and it became an Amazon Bestselling Romantic Suspense the first day. I was floored that my debut had been so well received...
