I signed my first print autograph recently … and promptly spent the rest of the afternoon dancing in my seat. My coworkers probably thought I had ants in my pants. One of my coworkers bought a copy of DIVA IN THE DUGOUT and brought it to the office for me Read more…
When the universe starts talking, you listen. Actually, I’m not sure if it’s just that the universe is talking or if I’m just more inclined to listen now that I’ve made the decision to take the self-publishing plunge. Or maybe it’s really true that Sedona’s hippy-dippy, woo-woo psychic energy vortex Read more…
I’ve mentioned before that I’m not much for astrology. Living near Sedona’s well-known psychic vortexes is finally starting to take its toll, though. When I saw the message below in my fortune cookie at Panda Express one recent afternoon, it was the final impetus I needed to take a big step. Read more…
The Boston Marathon bombing was a horrendous tragedy, and plenty of folks more eloquent than I am have expressed their thoughts much better than I ever could. Why’s that? I write romantic comedy. I don’t do well with dark moments, tears and a heavy heart. My whole family’s like that. Read more…

With my day job as page designer, I had the skills necessary to create this: Voting continues through Oct. 11. Click for the link to my entry. I also decided to set up a Facebook Author Page. It’s high time to separate my three FB identities. I’m looking at it Read more…
My first Desert Dreams Conference won’t be my last. It’s over now, and I just settled into my favorite spot at the Starbucks in Camp Verde (near the outlet, naturally). The plan is to sneak in a little writing time before I crash. Am I nuts? Why not skip the attempt Read more…
Long time no hear from me, eh? I might not be blogging very much these days, but I’m still writing, writing, writing my free time away. All that hard work is starting to pay off, though. I have a completely revised/hopefully ready for submission version of “Operation Snag Mike Brad” Read more…
