When The End Is In Sight
I can't speak for any other writer, but as for me, one of the most enjoyable times in working on my books is when I reach the climax of the third act. I always get a little giddy as I work on bringing down the bad guy. Sometimes, I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to...
Fighting The Writing Demon
April 30, 2025So that you know, I’m not fighting a demon. Not literally, anyway. I’m talking about fighting the battles of my mind. The battles each writer deals with regularly—the battles each writer must overcome to be successful. Sometimes the battle is as simple...
Book Fairs: Such a Fun Experience!
April 16,2025 Over the past weekend, I had the chance to participate in an amazing activity, my first of this kind actually. I attended a book fair/wine tasting at the Cloudland Vineyards in Buford, Georgia. It was an amazing experience, but not just because it was my...

The Perfect Picture?
The cover of one of my books is actually one of my favorite photos in the world. And yes, I took it. But the story behind the picture is really what fascinates me. There is a chapter in the book entitled, “I Quit…Waiting For The Perfect Picture. The chapter is all...
Fiction Versus Nonfiction: The Battle Rages On!
I have always believed personally that nonfiction is much easier to write than fiction. After all, it is basically just facts, right? I know there is a nonfiction writer reading this right now screaming NO! NO! NO! But that is the way I see it, right or wrong. For me...

In 2008 I accomplished a life long dream when I completed my first novel, The Revelation Voyage. Since that time, I have completed two works of fiction and two works of non fiction.
