Synful Interludes

Hello Awesome Readers! Let’s Talk! Today I want to do a bit of “tooting” of my own horn. I want to share with you the top three works of mine that I never tire of reading along with the why. First off is my anthology H.E.R. ( Handy: Extended Release ) and my favorite work is the main story, “Handy”. I believe that Darbi is a wonderful representation of the modern woman’s dating struggles. It is excitement, anxiety, anticipation, and disappointment—all of the waves that are often associated with the experience. There are also some comedic bits that make me smile as well, particularly the meeting of her co-workers in the Soothe café. Second was my contribution to Crackles of the Heart , Book One of Divergent Ink short story anthology series, “Seven Days of Stimuli”. It possesses a small town flair with characters one loves to characters one loves to hate. The very best part, through all the hits and misses, is the ending. I am a sucker for a heartwarming ending...

Hello Awesome Visitors!  How has everyone been?  There has been some time since we've had Sunday Speak. While writing Convoluted Prism, for a while I was on a roll.  There would be times where I could crank out up to four chapters in a setting.  All was going well until two things happened: (1) I began getting to the more difficult part of the story and (2) There were some more short story ideas that were dying to come out. Number one frustrated me because it was a part of my life that I thought I had fully gotten past.  Convoluted Prism is partially autobiographical and this section that I've approached is crucial to the tide of the remainder of the story.  Yet each time I got around to composing it, the cursor would blink at me.  I would start typing, read it, and then erase it.  I even tried to walk away from it and then come back.  Yet I was just frozen. Number two, I wanted to tell myself that the short story ideas would still ...

Hello everyone! I normally keep my posts to Sundays and Thursdays but I'm breaking out of routine for a special occasion.  I want to talk about All Authors Graphics Design .  They are the ones who have designed all of my covers, and each cover I have a special fondness. First I want to talk about Kona.  It was the first work that was ever seen by others.  I wanted something eye catching, yet not typical at the same time.  You see, covers of a mainstream variety (even the ones with the drop dead gorgeous girl or handsome hunk on the cover ), while being embraced by others, don't really fit the type of thing I'm going for.  I believe more in standing out than blending in. I'm a fan of the glass coffee mug (gotta get me one of those) and all of the rich colors that encompass coffee. KONA : Always free, always available Smashwords & Scribd Not too long after Kona, I released Simmer Sweet.  Based on the story line, someone did s...
