Lucky Friday the 13th

I'm not a terribly superstitious person. Black cats hold no terror for me. Ditto for walking under ladders. From what I can see Friday the 13th was only unlucky for the Knights Templars back in 1307.

For YOU, this Friday the 13th could be very lucky indeed. My blog tour goes on and with it another chance to win a VEXING THE VISCOUNT. Today, I'm at… Continue

It is the fall contest being sponsored by Warren Adler. Don't know who he is?… Continue

KEY LIME SQUEEZE Casting Contest!

But putting a "face" in my imagination as I set up a scene helps me to better project that onto paper. And, from talking to some of my fellow writers, a lot of us fiction writers do the same thing.

So here's my challenge: Cast the movie version of my new novel, Key Lime Squeeze, scheduled to be released in September 2008. So what if… Continue
