The Next Big Thing, the FBI and the Ninja Release Party!

Hi everyone – Last week I got a call that made me swallow my tongue! LOL I answered my cell phone and heard someone ask for me and utter… “I’m with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.” YEEK!!!

What did I do?” And then I remembered a few weeks ago I had told a friend who was applying for a new job that required security clearance that she could use me for a reference!… Read More

Scenes from Night Walker brought to you by a reader…

Hi everyone –   I think I’ve mentioned it before, but it’s worth saying again…  Readers Rock!!!   I met Carey at Comic-Con this summer waiting in line after the Paranormal Panel.  After the convention, we connected on Facebook and Carey read Night Walker.

Surreal Writer’s Life aka If I can do this, you can too!

Hi everyone – This month has been crazy for me. It started off with some really sad personal life woes that broke my heart, but what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, right? *insert Kelly Clarkson song here* So anyway, after dusting myself off, some really cool things happened this week that made me step back and reflect a little. This past week, my writing classes opened for registration from San Diego Writer’s Ink. http://www.sandiegowriters.org/?p=4387 I’ve been teaching my short story craft classes online, but this will be an opportunity… Read More

Hi Everyone – I couldn’t let today go by without wishing my debut novel, Night Walker, a Happy 1st Birthday! And what a year it’s been!

Humbled by an Awesome Day

How did the time go by so quickly? Interspersed among the Mommy emotions, I’ve had a few thrilling moments too, and I didn’t want… Read More

Ray Bradbury changed my Life…

Hi everyone –   If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you probably know that Ray Bradbury was a HUGE influencer on my writing. In fact, he probably saved me from giving up my dream.     I cried this morning when I found out we lost Ray Bradbury. He made such an impact on my life and my writing.   I was lucky enough to meet Ray a few years ago, and I was struck by his capacity to love. He actually made me weepy when he talked… Read More
