Blurb:

I met Anna-Marie in December of 1980. Our initial conversations revealed her to be a deep thinker. For her degrees in education (she graduated with two), Anna-Marie took numerous philosophy courses, at which she excelled. Her skill at poetry reflected her superior intelligence and depth of understanding of many difficult…

Hi everyone!

I’m pleased to announce the release of my fourth gay romance,  A Thousand Summer Secrets.

This tender contemporary romance takes place over a summer weekend, where two friends reconnect while seeking love and acceptance. I hope you’ll check it out, and if you like it, you’ll post a review.…

One question I’ve been getting lately is “Why did you choose the genre you write?” For those who don’t know, my focus is contemporary mystery/thrillers and crime fiction, with some romance thrown in. I chose this genre because it’s what I like to read. I originally became a fan of pulp fiction mysteries from watching old film noirs on TV. I’d see something like “Double Indemnity,” “The Maltese Falcon” or “The Big Sleep,” then seek out the book at the library. If I liked it, I’d make my way…

Jim’s Pterodactyl by Andrew R. Williams was an interesting, entertaining and funny read. The story revolves around Ollie the Pterodactyl or "Ropen: as they're called there.



I have read quite a few books by Andrew and picked this one up immediately once I saw it. Jim is delivered an egg by mistake and told to discard it but doesn't have the heart to do so. What happens after that forms the crux of the story.…

I love writing humorous flirting scenes in my romances. There’s something sensual and fun about two people engaging in verbal jousting when they feel that initial spark and decide to test the waters. Sometimes you can radiate more heat with a few lines of suggestive dialogue than with a paragraph of in-your-face eroticism. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Flirting is all part of creating sexual tension with your characters. It’s defined as “trying to attract…

The nominations for the Academy Awards were recently announced, along with the requisite number of surprises. People have been quoting lines from movies for years, and many make their way into pop culture, as well as trivia nights in sports bars. As a change of pace, I thought it would be fun to test your knowledge about which movie these lines of dialogue came from. Some are obvious, others not so…

Juror Number Ten by Caroline Taylor is my second book by the author. I absolutely like her storytelling style, a reason I came back for her next.

There are many good and interesting characters in the story, including the murder accused Nona, Cody and the prosecutor Gordon, to name a few. Then there's the main protagonist Sophia, who just got herself somehow caught in a web she never imagined. They say it gets worse before it gets better and that's probably what happened to Sophie,…

Do you have a time machine that can take you back to when things may have been simpler, or when you were happier? Maybe a vacation with someone special, or enjoying a once-in-a-lifetime experience? The answer is yes, we all possess such a device. It’s called memory, and do you know what can magically kickstart that machine? Music! It has the power to bring back things we filed away in our mental scrapbooks.  

We just survived another Christmas season, and nowhere was this…

Isaiah 43:18-19 KJV says, 18 Remember ye, not the former things, neither consider the things of old.19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

Today is the beginning of a new year; let us leave the old negative behind and start afresh with a new focus on living godly.
