Fall Writing Contest

If you like to enter contests for writing, and you do not want to put your energy into one that is most likely a scam, I am with you.

I always say not to pay to be in a venue like a contest, but have to change that today. Now I know of a contest that you do not want to miss, and it will cost you an entry fee of $15 but let me tell you, it will be the best investment you will make for a contest.

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

Checking in

I haven't posted a blog in some time in here, figured I might as well get caught up since I am sitting at home waiting on the insurance adjuster to do her thing. We suffered some roof damage thanks to all these spring storms, and now have to deal with the fall out. I dread my next insurance bill.

I have finished my second book in the series, working title, Buried Angel. It has been a very difficult birth, but hoping the revision/edit phase will go smoother.

so.... who's… Continue

Short Stories coming soon

I have not let moss grow under my feet since my acceptance for publication at Enspiren Press.

So I am proud to announce the soon-to-be released short story, THE MASK, will be out in the Spring issue of http://www.mouthfullofbullets.com- Mouthfull of… Continue
