Give Me Your Tired, Your Poor… Your Best!?

In the days leading to this Fourth of July celebration, a certain presidential candidate made remarks regarding immigration and how a certain nation to our south doesn’t send us “their best.” While those remarks have gotten him in substantial hot water, perhaps because I don’t hail from said country, but one a few hundred miles […]

Tracking Jane: Foreword to Tracking Shadow, in Her Own Words

If you’re like me, you want to get right to the story. Never mind all the self-important ramblings an author feels compelled to inject before she gets rolling. Like she’s nervous the story isn’t ready to start, or needs some preamble explanation. None of that here, but I won’t fault you none for skipping the […]

Review: Murder out of the Blue, by Steve Turnbull

If you can’t put up with a story that doesn’t start with a bang and careens forward without letting you catch your breath, you might not deem Steve Turnbull’s Murder out of the Blue worth the trouble. You might start on the first few pages and think nothing is happening. Except something is. The rich, […]

#SocialMedia: Are We All Suffering From ADD Now?

First things first: I do not mean with this article to belittle or ridicule those who struggle with real Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Rather, I wish to ponder why those of us blessed to not face that disease day after day would self-impose a way of living that diminishes, if not destroys, our ability to […]

Review: Scarlet Angel by C.A. Wilke

Scarlet Angel by C.A. Wilke is the kind of story where one should hold on for dear life with little concern or notice for what transpires on the periphery. For the parts where it delivers the blistering, action-based pace that maintains unrestrained reader compulsion to keep turning pages, it works rather well. Overall, in spite […]

Three Take-aways from My First Year as an Indie Author

Too busy with my writing, the one year mark since I indie-published my first novel, DEAD BEEF, came and went, and I failed to commemorate it. It’s been a crazy year (plus a month and a half now). I released two short story collections, and launched two series of novels and novellas. I would mention […]
