Holiday Author Gala & Early Holiday Present

Just a quick note to say my interview with Jeri Smith-Ready, the latest in my "Vampires Of" series, is now live at Buzzy Multimedia. She really is as nice in person as she is on the page.
And while you're in the clicking mood, don't forget Angela Kay Austin's Internal Rhyme for her hero Chance O'Malley.
Cheers! Read More......

"The Vampires Of Jeri Smith Ready" now live

Character inspired prose. Every once in a while my characters like to drop by and share what’s happening in their worlds. Now, there are a lot of ways in which they could do this, but I’ve asked them to express themselves through poetry at Internal Rhyme. Of course, my men argue this point, but we’ve found a happy compromise. I think. We hope that you’ll drop by and read what’s on their minds, and maybe sometimes mine.

These are not the works of Chaucer, Dante, Emily Bronte, Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, Nikki Giovanni, Langston Hughes, Maya Angelou, or Alexander Pope.

But, character inspired poetic prose. As my characters meet, fall in love, fight love, deal with the pressures in their worlds they will drop by to share what they’re feeling with all of us. So, please visit often.


December 7th, Chance O'Malley, my hero from Love's Chance will share with us his feelings about the passing of his father in a piece he's titled "For My Father".
