As an author, I understand the delicate balance between creativity and validity. As a psychotherapist, I have a deep understanding of the human condition with all its depth and emotional variability. My empathetic connection with people translates seamlessly to the characters I create.

My books are character driven, so once created, the characters drive the plot. Once I have a sense of where they are headed, I summarize that collection of ideas into a chapter heading. The name of that chapter will then determine the direction of that chapter. (less)

Writing is creative because endless possibilities present themselves, as the story unfolds, I love constructing scenarios and ‘watching’ characters develop into full personalities. It’s fascinating to discover how serendipitously plot lines move, connect and simply evolve out of character intention, interactional patterns and opportunity. I enjoy the process of visualization in which multi-dimensional situations are sculpted and how characters put their metaphorical fingers on the keyboard and write their own stories. They continue to amaze me with their fluidity. (less)

‘Nod, Nod, Wink, Wink’

If you are somehow, unbelievably under the impression that we live in a progressive society; that our Constitution still prevails, that the government we elected values human life, stands for gender equality, racial equality, and religious freedom; if you naively believe that this elected government remains dedicated to promoting the general public welfare… take another look.

Those rights, freedom

Excellent read.

Good pace. Unexpectedly satisfying ending. Two comments 1) Mitch could use other words besides 'dumping' his girlfriends. It's immature and dehumanizing. 2) Barbara is sketched as an unpleasant character under the best of times. In spi

Not as good as the other colter shaw novels

At times, more often than I'd like, the plot was overly detailed with information about levees, water flow, mineral rights, and other storyline facts. The usual fast-paced Colter stories seemed burdened and

There are too many characters, too many storylines.

The brothers together

Excellent read. Fast-paced, well balanced between action mystery historical details and family issues.
Really like Colter's character. Good contrast, yet symmetry with his brother's.
I'm looking forward to more Colter Shaw books.
