No, really, it does. Again. BUT this one is probably it, for real this time. “Depart” starts out at the Lodge, in January, a couple of weeks after “The Lodge at Whispering Pines” ends. So, since that’s where Miles and Anika spend most of the book, the Lodge was on the original cover of “Depart.” […]

Book Timeline
If you haven’t noticed, I don’t write in chronological order. And I’m not referring to books such as “Miles” and “Stonecastle Inn,” which have story lines taking place in more than one century. No, I’m talking about books like “Last Chance Inn,” which takes place… right about now. Then there’s “Depart the Darkness,” which is […]
“Depart the Darkness” is next!
In a few short hours, the digital copies of “Terms of Engagement” will be delivered to waiting kindles. The paperback version is currently available on Amazon, as of yesterday. I hope everyone enjoys reading about Evan and Patrice, and Lina and Casey, as much as I enjoyed writing this chapter in their lives. “Depart the […]
Rain!
It began yesterday, and continued throughout the night. Brad loves thunderstorms and was thrilled. Ever since moving here, he was feeling short-changed in that department. Not anymore! We’re under a flash flood warning, and have been since the time Em texted during the night, FLASH FLOOD WARNING!!!!! I texted back that she was fine. She […]
Miles and Anika are back
“Terms of Engagement” is complete and set for release next month. We’re completely moved in to the new state, city, and house. The kid is in school and doing great. Brad is enjoying his job. And “Depart the Darkness” is getting new pages! It’s just short of the 1/3 mark, which is always exciting for […]
“Terms of Engagement” now available for pre-order
Release date, May 13, 2016. I miss the characters of Evan and Patrice, and Lina and Casey, already! Especially Evan and Patrice. I’m struggling with the intense desire to create a series for them. The second book is beginning to take form, so whether there will be a full-blown series or not… I’m not certain. […]
“Terms of Engagement” is complete!
After an all-nighter and an all-dayer, it stands complete at 437 pages. I am SO glad, because I kind of wanted to know what happened. I also want to get to work on “Depart,” HOB 5! But that’s going to have to hold tight until I get “Terms” edited. I’m starting on that now. So […]
All Moved In
We have internet! I feel connected to the rest of the world again. It’s been a loooong week trying to do everything on my iPhone. I appreciated having that, let me tell you, but I wasn’t crazy about all the “you’ve used 90% of your data” text warnings. The truth is, I used 2%. The […]
Star of La Quinta Inn
We’re officially out of the house, and staying at… an inn, much to Star’s satisfaction. And why wouldn’t she like it? She is, after all, Star of “Stonecastle Inn” fame. This is no Stonecastle however, and it’s safe to assume that Star is enjoying her stay more than the rest of us. Why, you ask? […]
Moving Week has Arrived
The packers, who are amazing, are done. We’ve never before had a move that didn’t take two full days, but these people are the definition of efficiency. So tomorrow everything will get loaded, and we’ll be a day ahead of schedule. Yay for that! This is turning out, by far, to be the easiest move […]
