In 2012, I was a member of what was then called the New England Chapter of Romance Writers of America. My first male/male romance novel, Salad on the Side, had been published several months earlier, and readers seemed to like it, so when I saw that NECRW had a Readers Choice Awards, I wanted to READ MORE

Real-Life Stuff
I do have a life outside of writing, even though writing is a huge part of my life and is mostly what I talk about. But for the past couple of weeks, while I’ve still been writing, I haven’t been writing about writing. Did that make sense? My caffeine intake isn’t keeping up with my READ MORE
Paperbacks!
A lot of people nowadays read books on devices. Kindles, phones, computers… there are plenty of electronic methods of reading a book. Personally, I prefer hard copies of books. I like being able to flip the pages back and forth. I like how a book feels in my hands. And words on a paper page READ MORE
Future and Past is out!
On Thursday, I released Future and Past (Ebb & Flow 2). And it’s already gotten a 5-star review from Paranormal Romance Guild! Book releases are hard. I know I should be promoting the new book, but even after all this time (my first book was published in 2009!), I’m still trying to figure out what READ MORE
Almost Release Day! And More Covers…
Only 5 days until I release Future and Past (Ebb & Flow 2)! I’m really excited about this one, and I’m looking forward to seeing what readers think of the continuation of Quinn and Malachi’s story. The book description: At 130 years old, lone Nova Scotian werewolf Malachi Powers never intended to find a mate, READ MORE
And more of more…
Last week, I posted about all the work I’d done remaking the covers for the Ebb & Flow series books, including the freebie short story Heart and Home (which you can sign up to receive on my free story page), and I posted the covers. And then, based on further feedback, I decided those covers READ MORE
Whew, that was a lot!
This past week, a well-known and well-respected male/male romance author took over an hour out of her day to chat with me on Facebook Messenger about how to improve my books and thereby, hopefully, improve my visibility and sales. I’m not naming her here because I don’t know if she would want me to. Among READ MORE
New Cover!
Now that I’ve sent out the newsletter cover reveal for Storm and Shelter (Ebb and Flow 3), I wanted to share the cover here too. I’m pretty happy with this cover, especially the necklace on “Quinn.” That necklace is actually mine; I took a picture of it and used the GIMP graphics program to clip READ MORE
Grumble Grumble Book Blurb Grumble
I’ve spent the past couple of days struggling to write the blurb (a/k/a book description) for Storm and Shelter, which is book 3 of the Ebb and Flow series. The first draft of the book is complete and I’m working on some rewrites now prior to editing, and I want to put it up for READ MORE
I’m Thankful for Werewolves
(NOTE: This was originally posted on my Facebook profile on March 1, 2025.) With everything that’s happened in the U.S. in the past couple of days (well, since January 20, really), I’m extremely thankful for werewolves. Yeah, that paragraph is a bit tongue in cheek. Anyone who knows me, knows I have a bit of READ MORE
