Turning the Page

Picture For nearly 25 years I was a novelist, which sounds exciting until you realize it's mostly a lonely craft where you pound away at a keyboard for hours (and hours and hours) on a story that you edit for hours (and hours and well, you get the idea…). For many years, I gave up on writing creatively altogether.

But eventually, I was ready to share with the world five books and a short story, all of whi Read more of this blog post »

Good addition to the collection. The mystery was good, as usual. The romantic B story played out as I expected and she left us with lingering questions about one of the newest members of the team. Well done!

Theodore Roosevelt
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt
