I could tell you about my favorite books for Word Book Day but I’ll tell you about the first book I wrote and published instead. Finding Sam is set in Southern California’s South Bay cities of Hermosa Beach and Manhattan Beach. It was my second attempt at writing a novel set in the area, theContinue reading “Happy World Book Day!”

Would You Run Away Then?
“When I was growing up,” I began. “I learned early on that while there were people who cared for you, there were others for whom your well-being was the last thing on their minds. And satisfying their needs came above all else. I guess you could say I fall between those two extremes.” “That’s aContinue reading “Would You Run Away Then?”
Permission To Be
Today after finding my love bite for Book+Main, the section I picked out made me realize something I hadn’t really thought of before. In my book, Finding Sam, the heroine, Sam, is tentatively returning to her passion, painting, and she’s doing it without her ex-husband’s knowledge. He’s an ass, basically, and as a very briefContinue reading “Permission To Be”
A Nice Surprise
Today I got this in the mail and I’m so happy. It’s the paperback edition of In His Heart complete with a new cover that best fits Josh and Olivia, the couple inside my head. It’s a novella, about 32K words trimmed down from its original 52K word novel after I thought it was goingContinue reading “A Nice Surprise”
Back To the Beginning
Three years ago today, I was writing a story about a woman at the end of her rope who finds herself faced with new possibilities when she runs into a handsome idealistic doctor on the Strand, a 22-mile bike path that stretches from Will Rogers State Beach to Torrance Beach. Her story was inspired by John Legend’sContinue reading “Back To the Beginning”
In His Heart is LIVE!
Yep! In His Heart is LIVE a week early! It’s a novella, about 28K words, and tells the story of Josh Morin and Olivia Firelli, two characters who were introduced in my first novel, Finding Sam. What I like about their story is it’s more lighthearted than the rest of my stories. Josh and Livvy simplyContinue reading “In His Heart is LIVE!”
So Hey! I’ve Got A New Book Coming Out!
Life is all about changes and for me, one of them came unexpectedly yesterday. My novella, In His Heart, trimmed from a 50K word novel to fit the requirements of a box set, is out of said box set and is now a free agent. Don’t ask, don’t tell as they say but it’s allContinue reading “So Hey! I’ve Got A New Book Coming Out!”
Why I Write (The Other Reason)
Back in 2015, I made a promise to donate all earnings from the sale of Finding Sam to ovarian cancer research. It wasn’t a gimmick; it was my first book written from the heart, following no rules about writing for the purpose of selling books but simply to tell a story. It was also writtenContinue reading “Why I Write (The Other Reason)”
In His Heart #TeaserTuesday
It was always the same dream. Just like the day it happened seven months earlier, someone switched off all the lights and the living room where the drug buy was supposed to happen plunged into darkness. Panic and confusion filled the air as gunfire erupted around undercover Detective Josh Morin, and within seconds, he lay onContinue reading “In His Heart #TeaserTuesday”
