Explanatory Note: I’m in the midst of editing short stories for a collection that I hope to publish sometime this century, and the following is a new section that I have added to a multi-part serial that will (maybe?) be in the mix. Enjoy. “As the Worm […]
Note: This is one installment of a blog series I ran several years ago, wherein our petite and pre-teen heroine is chronicling the many ways in which lip gloss has saved her life. This is her second journal entry… 2. Lip Gloss brought me closer to Jesus. […]
Note: A few hours ago, I submitted my final update in NaNoWriMo, the writing challenge I participate in every November. For those who are curious, I hit the goal, not that it means anything in the circle of life, but still. As a mild tribute to my questionable […]
Hey, folks. Just a quick post to say that I’m finally back from our adventure at Hidden Valley Ranch near Pecos, New Mexico. It was a hoot and I loved every minute of it. (Well, except for that one minute when I nearly perished in an unsatisfying manner, […]

He has just requested that Tiffany and I retrieve his besmirched garments out of the cabin bathroom and run them through the wash. We do […]
Note: Another snippet from yet another of my “work-in-progress” novels, this one involving one of our heroines, Tiffany, a delusional starlet, sharing a lusty dream that may or may not have anything to do with the plot… “I had barely pulled the beauty mask over my eyes […]
For your perusal, on out-take from a book that I work on from time to time… “Oak Cliff Confidential” is essentially a sarcastic murder mystery set in an historic area of south Dallas. The plot is a bit complex, but all you should really need to know […]
Now that I have your attention, let’s talk about me. As some of you may recall, I mentioned last Fall that I was working on a short-story collection for publication. (Let’s be real, we’re talking about “self-publication”, that nasty phrase that instantly causes people you meet to change […]
