Buy a book, help a flood victim

Many (too many) years ago, I graduated from Archbishop Rummel High School in Metairie, LA, and earned by BA from Louisiana State (Geaux, Tigers!). Many family members and friends still call Louisiana home. Even though this recent storm lacks the sexy name of a Katrina or a Sandy, the floods it caused have devastated homes,…

Coffee vs. Wine: What goes better with books?

What kind of reader-drinker are you? Are you a curl-up-with-a-cup-of-coffee reader, or a lean-back-with-a-glass-of-pinot-noir type of reader? Good news: When you travel into Oregon’s fabulous Willamette Valley, famous for its pinot noirs and chardonnays, you don’t have to choose. The Coffee Cottage on 808 E. Hancock St. in Newberg is both a great coffee shop…

Why dogs? Why rescue dogs?

At a time when the publishing industry, and readers, seem to demand sequels (if not series) of books they enjoy, I defied convention last week in releasing The Mountain Man’s Dog, which features different characters, a different setting, and even a bit of a shift in genre and style. Surprised fans of Lying in Judgment…

5 Ways to Love a Writer

Recently at a book signing I was asked, “How can we best support you as a writer?” At the time, I responded with a three-item list. It should have been five. Here they are. Buy (my) books. Well, this one’s obvious. Writers make their living (or part of it, anyway) from selling their work. Nothing…

Why You Should Buy My Competitors Books

Do you want to help me out as a writer? First, let me tell you, there are four things you should do first. (First and foremost is to buy my book. If you haven’t done that yet, stop, go buy one of my books, and then come back to this blog. Hint: leave the Amazon…

Book Reviews made easy

In response to hearing from friends and fans that they’d love to post reviews, but just don’t know what to say, author Traci Sanders came up with the idea of creating a “cheet sheat” to help demystify and simplify the process. Traci gave writers permission to copy, share, and even include her cheat sheet in…

Six lessons learned from self-publishing my first book

I was wary about self-publishing for a long time. Concerns ranged from “Will anyone buy my book?” to… well, basically that, or variations thereof. (“Will it suck?” “Will I ever make back my investment?” etc.) Now, ten weeks after releasing my first novel, I’m fully committed to the self-publishing (“indie”) approach. It’s been a fun…

A Conversation With OmniMystery News

Earlier this week, Omnimystery News, a website devoted to mystery novels, films, games, and more, published not one but two articles about me and my work. The post published on Friday (today, at this writing), April 29, was an excerpt from the second chapter of Lying in Judgment, a pivotal scene in the early portion…

Choose your weapon

In Lying in Judgment, my first novel, the murderer uses a tire iron to end the victim’s life. In The Mountain Man’s Dog, the would-be murderers use arson and poison. In The Mountain Man’s Bride, the killer uses a gun. Why these weapons? Why did none of them use a knife, for example? The choice…
