So, today I'm lazy on blogging...and industrious on something else. I am installing a security system for someone and writing 2000 words on the MIP--a masterpiece in progress (tongue-solidly-in-cheek). Lack of quality blogging seems to be my mode of operation lately. That said, I found these cool blog posts in the wee hours of the morning while I [...]
A long time ago I created this list on Goodreads (hoping someday I'd be submitted to it of course) and haven't looked since. I checked it out this morning and was excited to see so many great responses. Soooo, here's your chance authors, readers, and friends. Please add to the list and get the word [...]
Here is an excellent resource on writing point of view, Rivet Your Readers with Deep Point of View. I would highly recommend it to any and all writers. Point of View is one of those areas that a writer can really stumble--badly. From a reader's perspective, it's doubtful that anyone ever notices how an author [...]
I'm at the Houston Writers' Guild conference this weekend. Nicole Flockton, one of the talented Crimson authors will present today and I look forward to her presentation. It has also been a great opportunity to socialize with agents, editors, and publishers. I've met some really wonderful and talented people. While here, I ran a weekend [...]
Is there a similarity? Hmmm. It sounds catchy doesn't it? Recently I had an email interchange that I tried to analyze to determine what the other person thought and give an appropriate response. Having worked for ten years as a technology professional in a large mental health agency, I had been exposed to a great [...]
I'm a little nervous about this release. It's very different from my other novels. There is humor, drama, love, sex, and some interesting multicultural family dynamics but the suspense is of a totally different nature than my others. Crimson Romance will release it on March 11th and it's currently available for pre-order now at: http://www.amazon.com/Designated-Drivers-Crimson-Romance-ebook/dp/B00BFCUSYA/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1361544498&sr=1-1&keywords=The+Designated+Drivers%27+Club [...]

At the San Francisco Writer's Conference this weekend, I attended a session called "Meet the Fiction Agents". It had a panel that included Kimberley Cameron, Liz Kracht, Jill Marsal, Taylor Martindale, Laurie McLean, Michael Neff, Rayhane Sanders, Ken Sherman, Nephele Tempest, Becky Vinter, and Gordon Warnock. These Agent gave information on what they were looking [...]
Today I'm back to Texas after a fast paced few days at the San Francisco Writer's Conference. It was a wonderful experience and very informative. One of the sessions I attended was presented by Constance Hall (I will link to her information in a moment). The session was titled "Vex, Hex, Smash, Smooch: How to [...]
I posted this once before as part of a multi-segmented blog. I liked it so much, I thought I'd share again. Hope you enjoy! This excerpt is from a local High School coach to his freshmen athletes. I thought it so inspiring, I wanted you to read it. Why? Because I feel pretty strongly about [...]
