This is a scene not used in my Leeward Files series but it gives a bit of backstory. Warning, it is a bit dark. She was going to kill him. He’d known it for a while now. She was losing interest in him. She’d taken him to a couple of parties. He was small for his age. She said, he could still pass for younger. … Continue reading When Phil met Rae

Getting comfortable talking about my books … Continue reading Career Fair at AOP
I have had people ask me about my characters. Most who know me are surprised by the rough language my character, Rae Lynne Grimes in Chrome Pink used.

But I wanted to be honest with my readers, … Continue reading Bringing Characters to Life

Agent Jake Monroe is looking for evidence that links the present to crimes of the past. Is this section too long, too much telling? It’s about four pages long. The man ran from the brick canopy of the hospital entrance. The collar of his … Continue reading White Gold excerpt

Like spring, there is the hope of renewal: renewing the heart of a sinner, renewing the spirit of the downtrodden, renewing the faith of a weakened spirit, and renewing our faith and belief in our Lord … Continue reading Easter, a time of hope and renewal

In eastern North Carolina the cancer rate is higher than it is in the rest of the state. It is the leading cause of death in Beaufort County. At twenty … Continue reading Fighting Like a Writer
I was supposed to be a romance writer. At least that is what I believed when I first started writing. I thought I wanted to write historical romances, they were my first love. When I fell in love with contemporary romance it was after reading Jayne Ann Krentz who also writes historicals as Amanda Quick. Contemporary romance, especially the subgenres of romantic mysteries, thrillers and … Continue reading I Thought I was a Romance Writer
