RT 2013, Living the Dream!
There’s a moment at every convention–at least for me–when I think, “Okay. If nothing else happens, it won’t matter. It was worth it. The sore feet or the stress, the fears, the nerves, all the doubts you overcome when you step out at an event with your peers…it disappears. Not that I’m not genuinely happy at events, mind you. I love love love meeting people and brushing up against all the talented and incredible authors who inspire me...
Read MoreCover Reveal for “Azrael’s Girl”
Isn’t it fabulous? My first graphic novel and I’m so excited to finally see the cover! ”Azrael’s Girl” is COMING SOON and will be on sale for $.99, so order more than one, please! Just kidding. One. One is good. This is a new world for me in “The Eternity Gambit” and unlike other paranormal tales of Angels and Demons, readers should be ready for a new twist on a very very old game. After all, it’s the Archangel of...
Read MoreLarge Print Formatted Books, Anyone?
I’m questing for large-print format books for a dear lady who works in an assisted living facility… It seems none of mine are in that format….that I know of….and so she admitted that she reads mine OUT LOUD to the residents. I’m very popular. LOL Well, more power to her! I certainly couldn’t read this stuff out loud…in a room full of people… hmmmm…. Not that I’m embarrassed by… I mean….I’m proud of what I...

Maybe it was those years in Japan that makes me look at life a whole new way….to see the seasons in a new light and I had one of those (and please, no one take this the wrong way and send me hateful emails….) I had one of my Cherry Blossom Moments…one of those gorgeous Asian haiku zen crazy moments when the weather was hanging between rain and snow and I was longing for those snowflakes so hard, I could taste it. But even if it had snowed, I started to think how fleeting...
Read MoreBattles
They say you should pick your battles. Great advice meant to counsel you to conserve your resources and your energy for the Big Battles of life instead of squandering them on the little skirmishes… I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m getting pecked to death by ducks. Life isn’t always about big fights and majestic moments where you get to draw your line in the sand or make some grand gesture of artistic merit. Apparently life is mostly about the little stuff....
Read MoreAdvice from a Lady
Aunt Alice wants her own advice column/blog. She is disgusted that I refuse to regularly post in mine and thinks it’s a dreadful waste. So I’m going to see what happens. Okay, world. Readers. The Brave Among You. Aunt Alice, the *ahem* prim and proper woman of a certain age you know from “Revenge Wears Rubies” is online. Send in your questions here and brace yourself. I won’t be editing her responses. Seriously. I have no idea what she’ll say....
