I’m a pretty chronic traveler, Gentle Reader. My parents put me on a plane by myself to the UK when I was 9. I pretty much never stopped moving after that. I’ve lived and worked overseas, as a student and as an archaeologist. Since I became a full time author I’ve travelled more, not less. […]

Thank you so much […]
Faking Trademark in Fiction for Comedy Gold (San Andreas Shifters Special Extra)
So there is this thing about using trademarked names when you are writing fiction, Gentle Reader. Names like Facebook, or Coke, or (heaven forfend) Disney.

Sample That Tasty Book! Enforcer Enigma Opening Scene
The Enforcer Enigma is coming, Gentle Reader, and probably sooner than you thought! Sample the Yummy? Chapter One: Take Me Home, Werewolf Pack Colin knew they were going to cause problems the moment they walked in the door.

A fun FB Live Q&A Video for you today, Gentle Reader. I finally got some of my energy back and am a bit more upbeat than last time. The first question tackles some weighty matters and we delve in and out of the current troubling state of the book industry, but mostly I managed to […]

BL Dramas Analyzed from a Writer’s Perspective: PART I
