• #FREE – Trails in the Sand: Ten Years After the Oil Spill

  

  I’m a firm believer in the subject choosing the author. When that happens, it’s best to let the muse lead me to the keyboard and allow the words to find their way to the story. Trails in the Sand stands as my testament to the process.

• ANNIVERSARY AND CELEBRATION #oilspill

  

  Sometimes an anniversary involves a celebration of some sort. The events marked today are separate, yet inexplicably connected through virtue of their messages. Six years ago today, BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico, killing eleven men working on the rig and doing untold damage to the environment and wildlife as […]

    Three novels in one package, these novels represent my love for Florida in all its crazy and complicated glory. Here’s a review from author Uvi Poznansky that I treasure. I love it when others call me a storyteller. That’s my job, but it’s always nice to be recognized as such by someone else.

• Reality Creeps Into Fiction – #DeepwaterHorizon

  

    Five years ago today, the oil rig Deepwater Horizon caught on fire.  Even though the newscasters downplayed its significance that morning, I felt a black cloud deepen. I’d just moved to southwestern Pennsylvania where news of the Upper Big Branch coal mine disaster a few hours away in West Virginia still dominated local news. […]

• Florida Fiction Series – New Review

  

  I’d like to share with you a recent review from my Florida Fiction Series. I love it when others call me a storyteller. That’s my job, but it’s always nice to be recognized as such by someone else. It’s been a discouraging year where my book sales are concerned, but for some reason, I continue […]

• Real Life Seeps into #Fiction

  I’m often asked if real life seeps into my novels. As we head into the anniversary of BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil spill on April 20, I’ve thought about how much of my life seeped into the writing of Trails in the Sand. During April 2010, two significant manmade disasters occurred in the United States. Both […]

• Writing from the Heart – For #.99 Cents

  Someone once said, “Write what you know.” That doesn’t mean that an author has to experience everything that appears in a work of fiction. To me it means to write what is in my heart. I lived in Florida for thirty years, and it’s in my heart. Most of my novels are set in the […]
