Welcome to my online home.
If you're like me, there's nothing you like better than a good read. I grew up with five older sisters, and they all loved horror movies. As a result, I was introduced to all things scary at a young age. Some of my favorite memories are of gathering around the television on a Saturday night with my family to watch a scary movie on HBO. I'd seen The Howling, Evil Dead, and Friday the 13th, all before I was old enough to date. It was only natural that when I started writing my own stories, they'd be paranormal.
Okay. Not completely paranormal. I also write romance...with monsters, and urban fantasy...with even more monsters, and horror with...you get the idea! If you like a good monster tale as much as I do, browse my pages and check out a few of my books. The book description says whether it's a romance, urban fantasy, or horror.
Thanks for stopping by!
I've decided to pull the Bridgeport Mysteries series temporarily. The third book in the series is finished. This seems like a great time to re-read the first two books and make sure the series flows together as it should. I haven't made any major changes, but now that I know so much about the…
I've changed the book cover to The Thing Beneath the Stairs
I’ve decided to change the book cover for The Thing Beneath the Stairs. If you see the second book cover, it’s not a new book.
I did this for branding purposes. I want all of my haunted house stories to have the same look. Thi…

I've made a HUGE change. I've taken these books down from the other retail sites and gone exclusive with Amazon so I can put these books in Kindle Unlimited. That means, if you're part of Kindle Unlimited, you can read these books for free! Check out my author page on Amazon to start …
It’s not even the end of the year and I’m already changing my publishing schedule.
I’m going to put the St. Sebastians books on the back burner for a while and focus entirely on horror and urban fantasy.
After I finish polishing the 3rd Bridgeport book, I think this is the nex…

Writing with soul. That seems like an easy thing to do, but it's a lot harder than it seems. Stephen King (who everyone knows is my favorite author) and JK Rowling have mastered infusing soul into the books they write. That's one of the reasons their books sell so well. For JK Rowling, she's not w…
Plotter or Pantser?
That's the question asked in writer circles around the world. I am a proud, card carrying, plotter.
My plotting method is a bit crazy, but it works for me. First, I plot out the beginning of the book. I go as far as I can easily get. Once I'm happy with what I have, I write…
Since I've gone indie, one thing that I find myself doing a few times a year is....
reviewing then re-calibrating if necessary. What I mean by that is, I step back and look at all of my stats and decide if I like what I see. If I do like what I see, I continue doing what I'm doing. If I don't like …
