  • My Books

    It was with great regret that I sent the owner of Scrybe Press an e-mail today demanding that he stop printing all my titles he’s published, including the four books of The Werewolf Saga. The publisher is in breach of contract, and I’m calling him on it. That means the four published volumes of The…

  • Career

    When I started writing (and wanting to publish) about 25 years ago I was stuck in a job I didn’t like and saw writing as a way to get away from having an asshole for a boss, not have to punch a time clock, and yeah, get rich. I wrote because I didn’t want a…

  • Rock and roll dreams come true

    I’m about to head to Tulsa for Conestoga. As soon as the oldest boy child (who’s now taller than me) gets out of the bathroom so I can brush my teeth. It’s a one-day event for me. If you’re around and hadn’t planned to come, you really should. It’s one of my favorites. My workshop…

  • I hate prom!

    I have not written a single word of fiction since spring break ended. No time. Too much stuff to grade for school. And … prom. What a nightmare this thing has become! In a year in which the school budget is being cut by 25 percent, we’re committed to about $4,000 on prom, and so…

  • Failure!

    The Spring Break Writing Pact with Gayleen has ended. I did NOT meet my ambitious goal of 75 pages in four days. In fact, I did just under 30 pages. Go ahead, click Gayleen’s link and read all about how she exceeded her goal. (grumble, grumble, grumble)  In all seriousness, I’m really proud of Gayleen…
