My Books on Film Part II


Part I of this blog was me indulging in a little dreaming of who would play my characters if my Portals of Destiny books ever get made into movies. For me, it’s imperative to have a solid picture of my characters so I can bring them to life and so I can remember what color […]

My Books on Film


No, none of my books have been optioned for film…YET! I think it’s a dream for any author to see their book come to life on the big screen. I know it’s definitely one of my biggest dreams. As I wrote The Chosen, I pictured the various characters in my mind: how tall they were, […]

What’s in a Book Cover?


There’s been a few posts in various Facebook groups that deal with book covers. And I can’t help but feel frustrated when the “rules” raise their ugly heads.

Review of Angst by David J Pedersen

The author’s use of language has me cracking up in places (bosomtastic…THAT one should be in the dictionary!!!). The title of […]

Second Review for Shattered Destiny


The second review for Shattered Destiny just came in! This one is from Mark Stone, author of Things to do in Denver When You’re Undead (June 2011). Most second books and movies suffer from what I call Middle Child Syndrome. They usually suck. Check out Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. See what I […]

Night of the Grizzlies


I was flipping through channels  last night and stopped on a PBS re-run called Night of the Grizzlies. I have always been fascinated with these monstrous creatures.
