Available Everywhere! After losing his lunch across Monterey’s Coast Guard pier, nervous newly successful writer Walter Straub wobbles aboard the Diego Wind for a sunset cruise with a who’s-who of celebrity authors. It takes a few fruity cocktails, a disputacious dinner, and some playful orca before he’s comfortable in his rented tux and finds the nerve to speak with lovely, bestselling author Avni. All goes swimmingly until a guest becomes fish food. Then more writers turn belly up. When those left look to pin the deaths on him, Walter must either sink or swim. “A… Read Article →

My thanks to you, my friends and readers…. Read Article →
Some writers have what it takes to design their own covers. I don’t. I don’t have the patience to get the details exactly right. I get impatient when the tools I want aren’t right there (or right where I think they should be). I’m not a cover artist. An author friend of mine designs her own covers. She designs great covers that totally work for her genre. Don’t believe me, check out Kameron Claire’s work right here. Be prepared for some great, steamy romance. You looked, right? They’re perfect covers for her genre. And she… Read Article →
