Sorry for missing my post date last week.  Zombie apocalypse delays and all.  Thankfully, I think things are back on track.  This post is on the adjustment to my work schedule and what my daily work is now covering rather than going to a workplace and sitting in a cube.

Like many others, I've faced dark moments in my life.  This post is on the elements that led to my depression and how I discovered the means of defying that trap moving forward.

My Supernatural Suspense novels were always an adventure for me to write.  When I got a chance to continue the series with a new beginning, I had to do it.  Tommy is now a teenager and I was excited to delve into the challenges he and his cat, snowy would face.  This post is on the thoughts and inspirations of the novel that sparked a new beginning for my fave Urban Fantasy series.

I have acquired many tools over the years as I continue to work on my writing, art and photography. For this podcast, I discuss the items I use today. I have included the Amazon Affiliate links for items mentioned below for anyone interested in looking them up: Microphone: https://amzn.to/2O90O8J Stand: https://amzn.to/3rpmE5R Computer: https://amzn.to/3avbCW5 Monitors: https://amzn.to/2NWXr4o iPa...

There are many things in life that cannot be explained.  Some are considered supernatural and some are thought to be imagined.  This is how I met the love of my life and how it was love at first sight... from my point of view.

It was a long and strange year in 2020.  My plans for a busy and fruitful year did not happen as hoped but I finished my book, found a new publisher and managed to get my novel out before the year concluded.  A great experience, a new publisher and a new beginning.  Now on to 2021...

At the beginning of the year, I set a goal for the books I wanted to read.  I stuck to my list as best I could, however, like the outlines for my own books, the path was not followed.  I hope everyone met much of their goals in 2020 despite the zombie apocalypse and I hope we all find greener pastures in 2021.  Onwards!  Books I finished in 2020: · Starsight by Brandon Sanderso...

I am glad to share the thoughts and inspirations that led me to writing Echoes of Innocence, the third Urban Fantasy book in the Linked trilogy.  When I first started writing in the genre, I only thought about writing books with the characters as they grew.  Today, I have released a fifth book with these characters and continue to love each of them.  I hope you do too. Feel free to...

As we continue to handle lockdowns, the need to preserve our memories, images and videos becomes more important than ever.  I had a few setbacks over the years with computers and backup external hard drives.  This resulted in my using two online storage services.  One Drive and Google Drive.  I discuss my reasons and results.

Among the passions I have in life is the active pursuit of positivity.  I continue to share my words, my images and my outlook so others can steer clear of depression, low self-esteem and negativity traps around the world.

There are many movies that stand out in my life.  This is a recent animated movie I was very surprised to have liked.  As a storyteller and artist, I especially enjoyed the many little details provided for fans both new and old.

There is much to be thankful every day.  This Thanksgiving, I wanted to look back on the year and look on how grateful I am for the gifts life has bestowed upon me. The Amazon affiliate link to the last book I published is HERE .  I will add a link to the new one as soon as it is published. Thank you all for your support and encouragement.  I hope you enjoy the books as much as I en...

I am one of the world's introverts, comfortable reading, writing and keeping to myself.  However, this has been a struggle over the years which I realized had to change.  Even as someone who has always been shy, it is important to connect with others.  Along with my creative journey, I have also been on a journey of self-exploration, coming out of my shell and connecting with the wo...

There are many different ways to share a story.  Some are on paper and others with e-readers.  Audio continues growing in popularity.  This episode, I speak on Audible.

The most rewarding part of my writing journey to date is how it has affected my outlook in life.  I don't see the struggles the same as others.  I choose to see them as changes in my life story.  I hope you can see the story of your life and the journey that has led to your own adventure.

I was away for a short while as I completed my latest novel.  Nevertheless, this green post will be the first I share in reviewing movies and books that have become favorites along my journey.  I hope you enjoy my review and and if you watched the movie, enjoyed the adventure we took part in over the years.

One of the achievements I've had in my life stems from drawing.  I remember the inspiration as a child, holding a coloring book in hand as I learned how to express myself and share my imagination.

Many people enjoy taking a drink or two at the end of the day.  Some overdo it and others know moderation.  I have always avoided alcohol and aside from one event in college, always will.  My reasons began back in my youth.

This episode is on Linked. My Urban Fantasy book that became a trilogy.  I discuss where the idea originated from, the inspirations and characters. My affiliate link can be found here:   AMAZON My home page is HERE

We utilize the tools that work best for our craft. One of my favorites continues to be Photoshop.

There are many creative outlets in the world. Writing is my preferred choice but I have had many over the years. Sculpture and Pottery both came into my life at the right time

We all have people who have inspired us to learn, grow and add to the passions in our lives. One of the most inspirational authors I have ever met was Ray Bradbury.
