Anatomy of a Novel - Eternally Wild
People often ask me how I get ideas for stories. Authors are inspired by many things as we write and that was definitely the case for my new novel, Eternally Wild. The novel was inspired by a dream I had about meeting the ghost of Michael Hutchence, and his influence is definitely felt throughout the book. But a lot of other "stories'' and ''experiences'' went into making this great story about the love between a ghost, a woman with a tragic past, and the ghost's best friend

Wow! It's been awhile! Long enough to write a book!
I can't believe it's been this long since I've written a blog post. Where does the time go? Most of it to my day job. And then there have been concerts and cons with my daughter! (I met Jason Momoa and many of the Walking Dead cast) Plus, I've been working really hard on my new novel, "Eternally Wild". This book means so much to me and I want it to be perfect! In my previous blog, I mentioned how the idea for this story came to be. I finished the first draft in March. A mere

Michael Hutchence Leaves his Mark on me.
In 1983, MTV came into my home. I was thrilled! I'd always loved music, but MTV was a new invention, that put faces to the radio and introduced new music much more quickly than our local DJs did. One of the first bands I "saw" was INXS in their video for, "The One Thing". Immediately, my eyes were drawn to their enigmatic lead singer, Michael Hutchence. He slithered sexily all over the screen, eye fucking the TV audience, while the other band members partook in a food orgy wi

Adrian's Melody has Arrived!
Release date has arrived! Super excited to now see TWO novels with my name listed on book selling lists across the world! Readers who enjoyed the first book will love this sequel even more. But, I have to warn you. The story will put your heart through the ringer! There will be some hard subjects to deal with among the pages of Book 2. You'll definitely experience a full range of emotions. Adrian "Bolt" Hall is still going through some changes. He's older, but not exactl

Book 4???
I honestly thought I was done when I finished Book 3, Adrian and Melody. The couple has come full circle. It seemed like the happiest of endings had finally arrived. But then something magical happened. You see Book 3 is going to introduce a LOT of new characters. And the more I wrote about these new characters and their story lines, I thought, hmmmm...why not write new novels with THESE characters. They are all part of the "Love on Fire'' series, so why not carry on wit

2016 is here!
I meant to write a blog for the new year. But then realized I don't really get into this whole new year thing. To me, the new year begins on April 29, my birthday. That is when I take stock of my life and see what I want to accomplish before my next birthday. Last year it was to get my book published. So, I ramped things up and got it done. I also wanted to meet Billy Idol. I got that done. Other great things that happened were meeting James Marsters and visiting Senoia
