YEA SAYERS AND NAY SAYERS

To cyber-socialize or not to cyber-socialize? That is the question.

My New Year's resolution for '09 was to finally, seriously and extensively take a look at all the social sites I kept hearing about. My Space. Face Book. Crime Space. Twitter. Blogs. No more letting the info slide by, no more shaking my head and saying, “Who's got time for all this bulls__t?” I would do an investigation, just like my sleuth Christy Bristol. I would finally find…

new writing

I just recently began writing romance short stories and novels about a year ago. i struggled for a bit because I'm used to writing nature-based poetry and lyrics to songs that i would sing with my band. But, it steadily became easier for me to step outside of my comfort zone in order for me to write this novel. I am still 140pages shy of where i want/need to be in order to wrap it up. safe to say i have my work cut out for me. its nice to have authors.com and all of you wonderful people that… Continue

Inner Strength Essays, Part I

Inner-strength-III For a long while, I have putting up a monthly theme at the taekwondo club. I have several posters, large and small, or themes such as Attitude, Courtesy, Respect, and Motivation. I've been through all of them several times. So, for February of this year, I reached out and tried something new. Inner Strength.

I am part of the Karate For Kids program developed by my parent organization. …

Writing Takes Focus

Today I have decided that in order to write well, I have to write one day at a time and not book at a time.  Keeping focus and writing to a place of fulfillment.  All necessary components to my mental state of well being.  Peace, Love and Grace.

A Brownstone in Brooklyn Approach 15th Anniversary!

In 1995, a long, long time ago when Star Wars was the latest cinema rage, I started to pen my first novel called A Brownstone in Brooklyn. I wanted to write a novel and see could I actually put together a storyline that would interest readers…I wanted just one story published and see it in book form.

            Well, I worked long and hard with a few disturbing…

Life as a Novelist

Life of a novelist is hard work.  You get to thinking...this would be a cool career, self-therapy even.  Then you become, the author, the blogger, the twitter, the Facebook fan page, Authors.com, Instagram and every other social media administrator.  You begin to wonder how will you every get it all done.  Believe in your dreams (I tell myself).  The journey is meant to grow your aspirations.  PUSH.  Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence is the key to unlocking our potential.…

A Preter-what?

When I wrote my novel, Curse Me Not, what I didn’t count on was how I would see myself after the writing was done.

The paranormal twist I use in in the book is one that speaks to auras and curses upon auras. The fundamental question I had to answer as I developed the story’s alternate reality was this: While we perceive our 3-D self just by looking in…
