How…? I can’t believe it has been almost three months since I’ve sent a newsletter! I don’t know how it happened… I mean, ok, I’ve been up to a few things: I mean, ok, I guess I’ve been busy. And there’s more coming up. But before I jump into that, I have to give youContinue reading “Time Waits for No One”

Con season is busy. Sooooo busy. It is great for lot of things – catching up with friends, making new ones, sharing knowledge, learning something new, and getting inspired. But not writing. At least, not for me. I know some who can write at the hotel after a day of panels and chatting. Not me.Continue reading “Back at it”

I see you grooving, busting out your 1980s moves… same, friend… no judgment. Ok, so May got away from me. June tried that mess too, but I caught it before it escaped. Late newsletter but better late than never, as they say. 🙂 How’ve you been? What’s been up? What’re you doing? It’s con seasonContinue reading “Here We Go!”

For you traditional horror fans comes a novella and short story collection combo about a book filled with stories that are to die for (I wishContinue reading “Ok, 2023! I see you!”

The end of the year is the time when many reflect on what happened and what they would like to see themselves doing in the coming year. Good. Do that… as long as you learn lessons from what you’ve experienced and remain accountable to those future goals. Don’t spend a lot of effort wishing theContinue reading “Out with the old and in with the new!”

Snow on the ground.  Hot chocolate in steaming mugs.  Christmas lights twinkling on the tree.  Pick your song and cue the music (“Baby, it’s cold outside,”, “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,”), and sway… don’t forget to sway.  This scenario is as familiar as they come.  It represents the making of memories, the ones youContinue reading “So, this is Christmas…”
