Halfway through making a latte I discovered the milk was bad. That was no dream, it was a nightmare! I was relieved when I woke to find that the milk was not bad after all. Not only that, the Walmart grocery delivery truck came later that morning and brought a fresh gallon. They also brought […]

Three Books is the Charm
Ordinarily one would say “three time’s the charm,” but in this case it’s three books. “Untitled,” and no that’s not its name it just doesn’t have one yet, is at 52 pages. “Depart the Darkness,” HOB book 5, is at 28. HOB book 7 or 8 is 128 pages. It seems like it would be […]
Depart the Darkness
House of Bannerman book 5, “Depart the Darkness” is taking off. I laughed so hard it hurt while writing the first half of the first chapter! I laughed even more when attempting to read over it again. It involves Xander, and John is vindicated. If you’ve read “The Lodge at Whispering Pines” you may be […]
Depart the Darkness
It feels good to write again! Especially about my favorite characters. House of Bannerman book 5 is now underway, and I’m enjoying writing it so much more than the proofreading I was doing all last week. Don’t be surprised if Depart the Darkness is not the next book I release, however. Before the day is […]
Middle School
The kid is in middle school now. How that happened, I don’t know. A watched pot never boils, or so the saying goes. I’ve never tested that out myself. Who doesn’t have better things to do with their life? I do know that a kid grows up fast no matter how watched he or she […]
The End
601 Suspense Street is now complete. At 350 pages, it’s my longest novel thus far. Now the editing stage begins, and once that is done, finally it’ll be in the hands of my proofreaders. I would say by the end of this week… but that’s what I said last week, and probably the week before. […]
The End Is Imminent
I’m on chapter 22 of 601 Suspense Street, page 335. Why did I ever wonder if I’d make it to 300? But here I am now, well… all of us I suppose. Will, Gemma, Fox, DC, Gemma’s grandmothers and the rest of the town of Eerie. Here we are at page 335, the beginning of […]
Wearing Out the Keyboard
I’ve been hard at work on 601 Suspense Street. Here’s a picture of my laptop keyboard to prove it. The texture is worn off of a lot of the keys and the space bar has a noticeable indentation it’s been pressed so many times. It’s all paying off, 601 is nearing completion. It’s at 316 […]
The End Is Near!
“601 Suspense Street” is at 289 pages, and the end is near. Usually if one hears the end is near one might have the tendency to flee in the direction of a location further away from the end in order to put off it’s arrival or perhaps avoid it entirely. But when it comes to […]
Where Are the Pods For My Espresso Machine!
I know where they are, actually. Commerce City, CO. A mere thirty minute drive from my house. I look out the window and see bright blue sky, and only a few puffy clouds. Yet UPS declares that inclement weather in Commerce City prevents my package from being delivered today. Sunny skies equal inclement weather? Then […]
