Spooky Tales for Halloween

Spooky Tales for Halloween

Hello everyone. Happy October. A time for pumpkin spice, and candy, and well, all the things that go bump in the night. I thought this would be as good a time as any to introduce you to my scarier side. I have had people tell me I should write more thrillers but honestly, I don’t think I could stay in that headspace for too long. Instead, I write short novellas aimed at scaring you. Some are…

Valentine ’s Day is upon us. It is a time of love, be it newfound, long lasting, or in flux. How does one celebrate it?

Well, 2018 wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, and a lot of my professional goals didn’t quite pan out, but I am fully optimistic about 2019. Ya know, obstacles are not the end of it all, it just teaches how to see other options which is what I plan on doing this year.

Goodbye 2018

Goodbye 2018: My year in review, and what a year it has been!

I haven’t decided how I feel about 2018. It was filled with lots of ups and downs, but somehow it felt like it had more downs than ups. I’m sure that’s probably not true. I think sometimes how we end the year influences how we see the entire year. Isn’t it interesting how that happens?

I haven’t been able to do my monthly blog posts the last few months but I wanted to make sure I still did my end…

The Helios Chronicles

I spent several years writing this series and it is near and dear to my heart. Each book was special and written to further the development of each character, whether they were good or bad. The stories tackle very difficult topics such as rape, drug addiction, physical and emotional abuse, the effects of being in prison, hate crimes, and most importantly the power of love. While love does not…

Book Review: Oak Grove Suspense Series

BOOK REVIEW: The Oak Grove Suspense Series by Reese A Stephens. An excellent crime suspense series by an up and coming author. Reese mixes interesting characters, an intriguing plot line, along with a beautiful love story, throughout.

Today, I thought I would do something a bit different. Since Amazon is such a stickler about reviews, they wont let me review any of the books in Reese A. Stephens’ Oak Grove Suspense Series on Amazon because Reese and I are friends, but I just must tell people about it, so I decided to do it this way. As most of you know, I love crime suspense. Detectives, FBI Agents, Police Officers, ATF…

Publishing I worked hard last year on writing and as a result I have three for sure books that will be published this year, and one maybe. So  I will take a moment to tell you a…
