During all that time, I have been writing my book Double Exposure in my mind. All that time, different things would happen and various situations and experiences as a photographer I would say things like, THIS NEEDS TO GO IN THE BOOK. When I actually sat down and started writing this Novel, all of those experiences came back to me and I did put them in the book. So, for me, I am all over this novel. Exp. the Main Character, Reed Sawyer. Even his girl friend "Tammy" is actually my wife. This Novel was so much fun to write.(less)

Why Readers Choose Clean Romance Stories

Why Readers Choose Clean Romance Stories

A romance can be electric without putting every private moment on the page. That simple truth sits near the center of why readers choose clean romance. They are not looking for lesser emotion or a watered-down version of love. More often, they want the emotional stakes, the spark, the awkward timing, and the hard-won happy ending without explicit scenes taking over the story.

“Blue thumped his tail. Spike shook his head once, as if he’d heard enough promises and would prefer lunch.”
Kirk Voclain, Boots and Stilettos

“405 Independance”
Kirk Voclain, Double Exposure: A Spy Thriller

“She stood there in yoga pants that probably cost more than his saddle, pristine white tennis shoes, and what appeared to be a silk blouse in a shade of pink that would send his bulls running. Her golden hair was pulled back in a neat ponytail, and she'd even put on makeup. At five in the morning. For ranch work.”
Kirk Voclain, Boots and Stilettos
