You might have missed it because me remembering to talk about what I'm doing is not my strong point. But if you did. I'm telling you now. MY LUCK IS IN AUDIO!!! Hazzah! And the reason I'm reminding you is I just got the final files for Hired Luck. Yes I'm going...
Prepping for Everything
I just finished a mammoth (okay medium sized elephant) amount of prep work for dinners this week. I decided long ago that if I could get dinners and meals prepped ahead of time it did multiple things. A- Reduced my stress level for trying to get dinner prepped. B-...
Torturing for Fun and Profit
Cori and her Trials A portal lies in front of you, beyond it a challenge. If you fail your friends die. Enter hero! Muahahah. I love twisting my characters and if you thought you knew what drove Cori Munroe before, wait until you see what this rips out of her. The...
Year in Review – wait rearview mirror.
2020 – how do I explain 2020 in words? Frustrating. Disappointing. Heartbreaking. Failure. Scary. I felt all those and more. My goals at the beginning of 2020 were (goes to check): Write 400,000 words. – boy did I fail. I didn't break 300k and had one month with zero...
The relearning of academia… and 2021 conventions.
It's been a few months offline for this author. Not literally offline, but more literary offline. I'm now in the 5th month, of a 10 month senior leader fellowship program, for my day job. I'm back in the land of APA style academic writing, professional reading,...

Help, I’m an extrovert in the hell of an introverts paradise!
People have visions of the solitary writer who enjoys nothing more than being left alone in solitude for months to work on their great next novel. That is not the case at all for me, as I am a screaming extrovert. Each one of the Myers-Briggs assessments has confirmed...
Once upon a time in Quarantine
Sounds like the start of a great story. Maybe aliens, magic, murder, or other mayhem. Unfortunately - or fortunately, nothing that exciting has happened. I have the beta comments back from book two in Twisted Luck. I'm trying to write on book 3. Trying being the...
Commas are fun!
So how is everybody doing out there in the digi-verse? I have got to tell you, my day job is driving me totally bonkers. Unfortunately, even though I deal with networking engineers, software programmers, advanced technology industry vendors and an all-around...
Writing Under Stress
I read a great quote the other day - You aren't working from home, your at your home during a crisis trying to work. I'm not sure who to credit for it, but it is so very accurate. We're all stressed one way or another. Jobs, family, money, all of it is making this one...

September Updates for Storming Area 51 & Spring Cons
First off. NEW BOOK! Both Mel and Doug have stories included in the Storming Area 51: A Bayonet Books Anthology Vol 2 releasing on 20 September. It started as a joke. Storm Area 51 they said. They can't stop all of us they said. But all laughter stopped when the U.S....
