August Author News + FREE Shifter Books

August 10th 2021

Logo Body Diversity Recently, I decided to focus on writing main characters who are overweight or obese. This decision has been long in coming.

Back in February, Netflix released the results of a diversity audit they did on ...Continue Reading

Logo Happy Birthday, Cassie and Evan May is a big birthday month for the Cassie Scot series as both Cassie and Evan were born in May. Cassandra Morgan Ursula Margaret Scot was born on May 18, 1989. Evan Warren Blackwood was born on May 17, 1989. What's in a Character's Age? Age alone cannot define a character, but it is a telling detail. None of us are now exactly the same person we were ten years ago. The change goes a little differently for each of us, depending upon our persona ...Continue Reading

Author News: The Sound of Books

April 13th 2021

Logo The Sound of Books Greetings To me, books are audiobooks. Audiobooks are books. The sound of stories fills my headphones while I clean, take a walk, or enjoy a solitary lunch. You probably know that when I was sixteen, I was diagnosed with a degenerative eye condition that resulted in the loss of central vision and caused me to become legally blind – that is to say, with best correction, the vision in the better of my two eyes is 20/200. Or, to put it another way, I can’t see t ...Continue Reading

December 14th 2020

[1]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08L592GBF#customerReviews Logo Happy Yule I hope everyone is finding a way to enjoy the holiday season, whatever “holiday” means to you. For me, I’ve always enjoyed the beautiful lights, multi-colored and sparkling against the darkness. (Or the less sophisticated version, “Oooh...pretty and shiny!”) I enjoy the aroma of freshly baked cookies, especially chocolate chip with toffee bits baked right in, and the scent of the wood fire burning in the fireplace.
