So I was a triple-nominee at the Whitney Awards, but I lost to a man I’ve never heard of named Brandon Sanderson. 😛 And I’m kidding. I love Brandon’s books, and I’m not at all upset about the loss. It was a pleasure to be nominated, and Brandon was such a genuinely kind man to everybody. He had fans lined … Read More

I'm Mailing Out Signed Books Tomorrow! Would You Like One?
Three sweethearts requested signed copies of my books. This delights me! So I’m trekking to the post office tomorrow to mail them out. The post office in Vegas is a frightening place with tape and stamps and long lines and angry people who seem to shake keys at each other a lot. Okay, so it’s like every other Big City … Read More
WIP Wednesday: Long Overdue
I haven’t done a WIP Wednesday for a while! It’s about time. I love hearing about other creatives and the projects they’re working on.

Dehydrating Pineapple! An Easy Tutorial.
Okay, so maybe I went a little crazy when I bought 32 pounds of pineapple . I’m not sorry. Fresh pineapple. Frozen pineapple. Pineapple on homemade pizza. Finally, though, I knew I had to dehydrate it or lose it. Woman cannot live on pineapple alone, although she may try. Cutting and dehydrating it was incredibly easy! You can do it … Read More
An Interview with BOOM TOWN Author Glenn Rolfe
I adore Glenn Rolfe. I adore him so much that he had a cameo in my novella Little Dead Red. I received emails saying that Glenn was their favorite character, and that doesn’t surprise me at all. Not at all. Glenn just came out with his new novella, Boom Town. Glenn was kind enough to sit for an interview, and … Read More
A Typical Day Living with Williams Syndrome
This photo breaks my heart and makes me smile at the same time. It stirs up emotion. This is my beautiful, guileless son, who has Williams Syndrome. He’s crying in the bathtub after I told him his behavior wasn’t up to par and he wouldn’t earn a trip to McDonalds unless he improved. His emotions are always so close to … Read More
