I’ve something a little different for you all this morning. I don’t have a tagline or a summary for this new story yet, for which I apologize.
I’ve been winging it, you see. Chosen was born via the website, Zathom. I’ve been utilizing the writing prompts—or fathoms, if you will—the site provides to write diverse pieces of stories, poetry, and micro-fiction. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Taking a little break from what I’ve been reading through today. Have been immersed in this project, so I apologize for not posting an excerpt these last few days.
This book may end up being retitled. For the moment, though, it’s name remains what you currently see listed.
Without further ado, here’s today snippet. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Recently, I’ve been dedicating about 30 mins to an hour at some point each day to work on Catch-22 and Unlikely Heroes.
On Monday, my Muse sparked an idea. In just under an hour, I wrote 1,427 words for the first chapter. The title for it became Unfortunate Circumstances. The topic I’m writing about for this new story is a difficult one. I guess it’s one of those stories that needs to be told, but it’s not going to be pretty. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
From the moment Lori Havens bumps into Cole Brooks, she knew her life would never be the same. The man has it all—money, good looks, easy charm, and a swift determination when it comes to something he wants. A resourceful lawyer, he’s not only good at what he does, but he also knows when he’s got something worth keeping at his fingertips. A fact that frightens Lori every second of every day. Despite her reservations, however, she soon dives head-first into a night full of passion that sets the stage for what will definitely turn her world topsy-turvy.
Wow! Just . . . wow. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Afternoon, lovelies.
I’m at it again. This time, I come at you with another excerpt for Catch-22. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I’m a firm believer in the need for a writing ritual. With each new book I write, I reaffirm this belief. And it is based in sound psychological science. It doesn’t matter (much) what the ritual is, the point is to have various stimuli you come to associate with the creative process. Like Pavlov’s dog, drooling the second it hears a bell, your mind can come to salivate in eager anticipation of drafting the next chapter!
My personal ritual engages all five senses. I prepare a steaming mug of tea (touch, taste, smell), light a scented candle carefully selected for each new book (sight, smell). Frozen was pumpkin spice. I settle into the dark silence (sound) of my basement office. Then I spend a few minutes reviewing yesterday’s work before moving to new material. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It’s never a dull moment when the Muse takes hold and doesn’t let go. I’ve spent the past hour jotting down what he’s given me.
In doing so, I’ve written 1,557 words on a new story. The genre on this one is fantasy. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I wrote this via Zathom not too long ago. This literary platform has allowed me to come up with all sorts of ideas for micro-fiction, stories, and poetry.
I thought I’d share the newest short story with you all. Below, you’ll find a snippet. ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I thought I’d share with you all a little snippet of Catch-22.

Here, you go! ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
