I spent a long time writing my second novel, over 10 months. I know it's better than my first one, so I have more confidence in it. After I finished writing the novel and gave it to Cindy I took one week off. I needed my "brain rest". Before I realized it, I had taken two weeks off. This is the third edit so it should be fairly easy to scan through, but I knew Cindy would not skimp on her editing. It was 4-5 weeks before she gave me the first 5 chapters so I could work on sending in a query…

I first met Destiny while working on the tour for her memoir, Shaping Destiny. She's a wonderful sculpture artist but in recent years she's traded time with the torch for time with her pen. Destiny's latest work of art is a dystopian novel called Pipe Dreams.
I had the chance to beta-read Pipe Dreams and can honestly say I could not put the book down! I don't want to spoil the story, so let me just say this story is haunting because it could actually happen at any time. (It has…

He looked down at himself, and got up slowly to go down the steps. When he was face to face with me, he stopped to look me in the eye, “It’s you!”
I didn’t flinch, move, blink, or anything. How do you tell another man that you are in love with their wife? I…

“I am going crazy. I can’t think or do anything. It all comes back to you.”

I’d like to welcome Will McClinton to my blog for an interview. Here is a little about him:
In high school, my passion for writing grew. By the summer after graduation it was a possibility. Then I was blindsided by a MVA (motor vehicle accident) that changed the direction of my life. I lost sight of my…

There's a new suspense novel out! Too Much Blood by Jane Bennett Munro seems to be having a good run these days. One reviewer wrote, "Munro brings a welcoming amount of knowledge of the medical industry to this book. It is refreshing. Of course, Munro is herself a 34-year pathologist, so writing…

I give this story 5 stars gladly and with enthusiasm. It was a total joy to read and was a book I found myself eager to get home and read in the evening (taking over my desire for my evening soaps, which says a lot!)
It took me back to my childhood when my mum would read stories to me and my sister at…

Thanks to the advances in technology, there are many people who now are able to work from home. More and more people are discovering the benefits and realizing the drawbacks of making your basement, spare bedroom or unused space at home an office. It is knowledge that writers have had for a long time. After all, rare is the occasion when someone pays one to sit in an office in a high-rise building and pen a novel.
To the commuting, office-dwelling, 9-5 worker bees the…

This sponsorship worked!
The KFD sponsorship for IMAGINATION http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ATFC3JM on Tuesday did fairly well and once again eclipsed all my other marketing efforts in return dollars to spent ratio. I got below the 5,000 rank for a bit on Amazon and sales did increase dramatically for a few hours. As usual, I would recommend KFD as a top return.
I’ve slowed marketing efforts on my other nine novels to focus more on the four-book…

Book Review: Crazy Quilt by Paula Paul
The last time I’d cried because of a book was years ago and the culprit was Marley and Me. Crazy Quilt is such a different book yet so alike in many ways. Both deal with death and loss, both are incredibly moving stories, and both remind us how short and precious life is.
The story begins when our protagonist, Flora Adams, decides to visit…
