Thrilling books and gripping stories, all in one place.
In an attempt to go through a ton of my old writing, in what I'm calling my Year Of A Thousand Projects, I'm trying very hard to not write anything new. Sure, there's an odd short story here and there, when I feel the itch in my typing fingers become too much after seeing a... Continue Reading →
What an incredible book! This is the kind of thriller people talk about around the water cooler! Right from the start I was hooked. Everything pulled me in, the plot, the pacing, the characters, the voices... I loved everything about how this is written and how the story slowly builds. The plot is simple: Saffron...

Ugh, I've been so busy I almost forgot April's first blog post! I said it earlier this year - here - that in 2024 I would focus on going through a lot of old stuff. Things I've written ages ago that I've left to simmer for so long now that I've almost forgotten about them... Continue Reading →
Okay, so you've written and a book. You're sitting there with a manuscript in your hands and you're finally thinking, this is done now! That's like, the most demanding, most draining hard work you've ever done, probably, and now you're finished! Congratulations. Pat yourself on the back and tell yourself well done, because honestly, you've... Continue Reading →
Almost as good as the first book! I don't remember why I wanted to read the first book in The Millennium series, but it was probably a mix of me hearing about the book all my adult life and suddenly seeing a sale on Audible. Anyway - I'm very glad I started it and I'm... Continue Reading →

Before we talk pros and cons here's a thing you should know: YMMV. Your Mileage May Vary. Whatever I've done--or whatever... Continue Reading →
This was a strange one. A gripping thriller with a strong female lead, a varied and diverse cast and an intriguing mystery. We're led on a long and detailed investigation into the identity of a newborn who's been found on the steps of a church which leads to the realization that the mother - who... Continue Reading →
Ugh, does it ever get easier? Last year, I submitted a horror novella to an indie press. It was a story that I had started ages ago, something that kind of never went anywhere, until I suddenly knew exactly where to take it. I had heard about the indie press for a while by then,...

Somehow January lasted for eight years, but also passed by in a split second. Weird how that happens, right? Last post I did I wrote about I finally felt like I was back in my groove, making a plan for 2024 and figuring out what I'm going to focus on, but now here I am... Continue Reading →
I'm excited. I'm finally excited. Writing has taken a back seat for a while. Since early last fall, I kind of stuck myself in a rut. I wrote some short stories that I submitted (and waited patiently to hear back about), and I read through and polished some things that I'd written before, but I... Continue Reading →
