Note: Continuing with our theme of “people who are underappreciated for their appreciation of the performing arts” that has somewhat permeated the last two posts, here’s an excerpt from one of my work-in-progress books, “Cruise Control”. Setting the scene: Detectives Collin Oskopy (beleaguered, overworked, possibly alcoholic) and Virginia […]
Perhaps I should clarify. Some of us go mad when it comes to a certain writing challenge that annually takes place during this month. (Not to slight other folks who go mad for other reasons which may or may not be any of our business, depending on the […]
Another snippet from my work-in-progress novel, “Cruise Control”. All you really need to know: It’s the butt crack of dawn, and a massive caravan of my family members is headed to Galveston to embark on a cruise. We stupidly decide to pull off the highway and get something […]

Note: Another snippet from the work-in-progress for NaNoWriMo, wherein our heroine has arrived at the lavish apartment of her potential foreign lover (Aegean I, just accept the name for now) and simply wishes to use the powder room, one that is supposedly sound-proofed (again, just run with it).

Note: Another snippet from the work-in-progress for NaNoWriMo, wherein one of us has been felled by gastrointestinal malfeasance and two of us pretend that this is not happening… In one of those lovely instances where things can go terribly awry within mere minutes, Tiffany and I set […]
Note: Another snippet from the work-in-progress for NaNoWriMo, wherein a wretched plan is hatched… Well, now. We’re less than two hours into our epic journey, and the regret of agreeing to participate in this adventure is already a heavy weight, crushing my soul and eating away at […]
