It’s here! The end of the year. Next up – 2012. An amazing time to be on the planet. I can’t believe 2011 went by so quickly. I need two more months! Of course, I’ve compared to where I was last year. I have much to be grateful for: Sparks: I had expected to be done […]
Embarrassing but true – I’m suffering through an identity crisis. Not in the sense of real name versus pen name, though that debate rages in some corners of the writing community. As much as I love to read, I don’t recall ever questioning the name on a book jacket. However, I have made sure to […]

Someone asked me – earnestly, sincerely – for my thoughts on writing a book. My first reaction was – who me? I’ve not yet commercially published my first novel. What thoughts am I qualified to share?
