Great Celtic mythology story
“I found that this story was more about Xander than it was about Tressa. It revolved around Xander’s bonding with Tressa, his bonding with the Claíomh Solais (Sword of Light) and protector of Tressa, the King’s Jewel. It was interesting to see the sword through Tressa’s eyes, as it bound itself to Xander’s aura. This story was also about Xander’s family, specifically his father and missing mother. After a mysterious phone call about Xander’s father, Tressa and Xander rush off to find out what has happened. There they happen upon several Unseelie loose in city where Xander’s father lives. Which might attribute to his father’s disintegrating memory. They also find…

Interview and Book Review on Serious Reading
Serious Reading, the website that helps readers find their next good book, has published an interview with me and a review of Tressa’s Treasures. Here is a taste of each post and a link to follow if you would like to read the entire story.

C3 Con Recap 2016
I recently attended the Creatures, Crime and Creativity Convention (aka C3 Con) at the Sheridan in Columbia, MD just outside Baltimore, and I had a fabulous time. The venue suited the gathering perfectly —nice rooms, delicious food, and overall the place wasn’t too large.

(Something to look forward to if they use the same location next year.) This was the first writer’s conference I’ve attended since being published and while I looked forward to it, I was nervous. Would I fit in? They put…

I am looking forward to the next book!
“For a Fantasy Romance, Xander’s Folly is full of adventure, and a few surprises. While Tressa deserves a few smacks now and then to get her past being “Me” oriented, she doesn’t spend too much time wallowing in how bad things are for her. She actually remembers to think about others, something not all protagonists do. We get to learn more about Xander and his very precious daughter, and before the end of the book Tressa finally comes to her senses about something very important to both her and Xander. I would say more but I don’t want to give anything away.” ~Sunfire (Amazon Reviewer) on Xander’s Folly
