Did you write these books as a way to experience fantasies that you could never experience for real? <Laughing> When I heard this question, I started laughing. I suppose that all creative people, writers, artists, musicians etc. all express their fantasies in their art. No, I don’t want to experience most of the scenes I…
Under the weather – followup The other day, I wrote about my month-long cold/whatever it is/was. However, since I wrote about my ills over the last month, I feel the need to write a followup. Most important of all is … thank you for all of the kind words sent to me wishing me get…
Why do you think you have these images and scenes bombarding your mind every day? Every day of my life, for as long as I can remember, I’ve had constant imagery flooding my thoughts, night and day. As a child, the images reflected my interests or extended the experiences of the day. I can remember…

“Where do you write?” This question was posed to me recently so I thought I would give it a stab. Everywhere, I suppose. I do remember that I started writing my initial books sitting on my deck in the middle of the summer. Not exciting to most but I was able to soak up the…
Progress Update I’ve decided to begin posting progress updates on my writings. I’ll try to do this weekly but you’ll forgive me if I miss a week. ‘Her Client Trilogy’ Sales are still going well. I find it interesting that sales seem to be split pretty evenly between North America and Europe. If anything, the nod…
