Midsummer’s Eve is a time for lovers. They would clasp hands as they jumped over the fires. It was also a time when magic was most potent, a time when the Otherworld is close.

In honor of Midsummer’s Eve, I’m holding a contest for my new release, “A Twist of Fate,” a time travel romance.

All you need to do is watch A Twist of Fate’s book trailer and answer these two Questions:

Wanna Meet a Pirate, Matey?

When I decided to add a dash of humor to my writing, I found one of the natural places to do that was through my secondary characters. I'd like to introduce you to a fellow in PLEASURING THE PIRATE.

On progress:… Continue

10 Ways to Insure You'll Never Publish

Anyone can give you ideas to help you get published. Here's a few helpful hints to make sure you never have to worry about getting The Call.

1. Never finish a manuscript. Surely just your premise scrawled quickly onto the back of a napkin ought to be enough. It's the idea that counts.

2. Don't accept critique from others. It's your story. You should be able to tell it from 37 different points of view if you want. And be sure to ignore the publisher's… Continue

Brekleby Press: A New Sci-fi Novel of Time and Truth
