I have what some might politely refer to as a "fascination." No. I'm not talking about food. Or raccoons. Or cross-stitch. Or murder and murderers. It's not about rare, fatal diseases or unique poisons. Be quiet. There are places--in between--here and there. Places where time and reason and reality seem to...shiver. Liminal spaces. The literal… Continue reading LIMINAL SPACES
Life Happens
I'll try to keep today's blog post short and sweet since it's not a "typical" blog post. Not to worry, the next blog post will be "typical!" A life event--a wonderful life event--has occurred for me. One that requires a lot of my time and attention. Something that I can't half-ass with any good conscience.… Continue reading Life Happens
Hope/Possibility
In THE WARMTH OF OUR CLOSEST STAR (ENZO & PETER #2), a character named Alex says: “Hope is the belief that some course of action we take—some decision—will make our lives better. You know, we’ll say or do the right thing that fixes everything. But that’s not really what hope is. It’s the resolve to… Continue reading Hope/Possibility

Pride 2022
What do we owe each other if not the active commitment to ensure we are ALL treated equitably and equally?
Love Story
What makes an epic love story? One for the ages? One that, at its end (regardless of that end), would be looked back on with fondness? What makes a love story swoon-worthy? Like the rest of you, I'm sure, it's a question I've tried to solve for both professional and personal reasons. As we go… Continue reading Love Story
Flickin’ the Bean
In case you weren't aware (you're probably new here), I started my writing career in erotica. I wrote short stories (20k words or less) for an erotica site. Ultimately, it proved to be a pile of garbage site that didn't actually pay its creators--but since I don't want to get sued, I won't name names.… Continue reading Flickin’ the Bean
Grumpy Old Man
My back hurts and I really need the kids to get off of my lawn. Not really. My back rarely, if ever, hurts and I don't care if you're on my lawn--as long as you don't bother me. But seriously, who wants kids on their lawn? Well, kids that don't belong to them, I mean.… Continue reading Grumpy Old Man
It’s Time To Celebrate!
Releasing a book, finally publishing a story you've worked on forever, comes with baggage. Emotional baggage. There's relief and fear and happiness and longing and grief and...everything. Your book is finally out in the world and in the hands of readers, but you have no control over what happens next. Fear. You are no longer… Continue reading It’s Time To Celebrate!
