Haunted Tenor Finally Releases!

  This news deserves an exclamation point because I wrote the first draft of Haunted Tenor in 2007, and here it is the end of 2017 and it is finally releasing. The backstory: My favorite opera is Verdi’s Don Carlo. The reason it’s my favorite might seem obvious: I’m an…

A New Angle to Understanding Richard III

I found this fascinating. In Robert Tombs’ The English and Their History, I came across a line that actually caused me to think of Richard III in a new light. Hard to do, considering the dozens of histories and novels I have read that exhaustively discuss Richard III’s villainous (and…

A Tale of Many Cowgirls

In 2016, I wrote the first draft of Cowgirl Rescue and then found a lovely cover for it and bought it. That was in July. I didn’t know for sure what the title of the third Selkirk Family Ranch book would be, so I had the cover designer dummy up…

Marvel Comics Original Art, the Topic that Keeps On Giving

Recently, I was tagged in yet another discussion in a private Facebook group about Marvel Comics original artwork. These discussions usually rehash what is known and what is imagined about the large body of Marvel original art drawn by Jack Kirby. They include what is publicly known about legal cases,…

Where to find my articles on writing

I acquired, edited, and wrote stories for MyRomanceStory.com and most of the posts on its blog for a number of years. In addition, I wrote a series of articles under the heading of Writer’s Resources. Surprisingly, they still contain some useful advice for the would-be published author of romance. Writer’s…

A New Look for Temporary Superheroine

Here’s the new look for Temporary Superheroine as an ebook, available exclusively on Amazon for now. The classic retro 1960s-style cover remains on the print edition, available at many fine stores including Barnes & Noble, in case that’s the one you prefer. I like them both. How about you?

Women’s Fiction versus Romance

I write both romance and women’s fiction novels. They are very different even though they may contain many of the same elements. A romance has to focus on one key romantic relationship above all. A women’s fiction novel can be about multiple relationships and characters. My women’s fiction novel, Summer…
