Rest In Peace, Rachel

It has been a very difficult few days, our worst fears confirmed. One of my son's college age friends went missing on Wednesday night, and her body was found this morning. She had been kidnapped, robbed and murdered. There are many stories circulating out there, and I'm not entirely sure what the whole truth is. But she had gotten into some trouble in the past year, and had agr

Time.... A Writer's Biggest Challenge?

I know the key to being a successful writer is time management. Being a poet, I have become accustomed to keeping my notebook at the ready, jotting down lines, ideas and images that come to my head. Many times, these scribblings will sit on the lined pages only to be revisited weeks or months down the road. After some reworking, tweaking and polishing, they become full-fledged poems.

Scribblers’ Retreat is a non-profit organization established with the goal of reaching writers of all ages; to inspire and promote their hidden gifts and talents.
By involving the local community, authors, publishers, editors, journalists and all forms of the literary world, we are opening their minds and bringing hope where there was doubt.
Scribblers’ Retreat is not the typical classroom setting. It was designed to bring world-class authors, literature professors, editors, journalists, illustrators, photo journalists, proofreaders, publishers, publicists, screenplay writers, and website/graphic designers, etc. one-on-one with young and old alike. It is the opportunity of a lifetime for someone who has had a manuscript in a desk drawer for 40 years or who has an outstanding poem that simply must be read.

I've been caught up with book signings and promo work on my mystery novel, Blue Heron Marsh (did you ever get a chance to check out my Crimespace page?). Also, I just finished my fourth novel. It's a departure from mystery/suspense. A book I've been thinking about writing for years--Historial Fiction/Adventure, based on an ancestor. At any rate, you mentioned you had written two short stories. Care to share anything about them?

Best,
