Welcome
Greetings, thanks for stopping by my site. Here you can find my blog, see my latest tweets (look to your right) , and read some of my work, including the short story “The Window” which was shortlisted in a flash fiction contest in 2008, and chapters and excerpts from manuscripts I’m working on getting published. Also feel free to leave comments and questions on my blog and I will answer and update the sites FAQ pages as frequently as possible.
What’s Going On?
Life is always busy and usually I am juggling several things at once. Presently I am in the process of:
- Revising and getting ready to send queries for Cat’s Revealing. You can read the first chapter here. Also there is an interesting side note about this story on my blog here.
-I’m still playing with the sequel to Red and Grey, although mostly in my head at this point. On paper I’m working on a stand alone piece that takes place in the same universe but, well, stands alone. The Youngest Brother however is not forgotten.
- As far as Red and Grey goes, I just finished rewriting the query letter and it is currently under scrutiny with four other writers who plan to give me feedback and let me know there thoughts. The competition with fellow writer Deb Anderson is still on and I have not stopped querying, just taken a break to reexamine my query letter and make sure it is as strong as possible.
-Amidst all that I wrote a short story and will be submitting it to a contest this fall. We’ll see how that goes.

One fourth of the way to enough
When I started the query process for Red and Grey I set a number. It was the “enough is enough” number. In other words, this is where I draw the line and call it quits number.
Because, at some point a person has to realize that the manuscript they are pitching is not going to [...]
