A couple of weeks ago I revealed the cover artwork for Secrets and Lies (Cassie Scot #2), which was once again painted by Ural Akyutz. I liked it, but from the first I thought Evan’s face looked a bit off. A few fans noted the same thing, and their comments gave me the courage to […]

Why The Doctor Needs to Lose His Screwdriver
I’m a bit behind on Doctor Who this season. It’s not because I don’t love the show, but because ever since they split the season into two parts I’ve had more trouble staying focused. This Spring I was in the middle of three other series and only recently decided it was past time to catch […]
Book Review: Alien vs. Alien
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I have no idea why I’m reading this series. It’s cheesy. And it’s corny. With extra cheese. And I don’t like corn with cheese on it. The dish makes no sense. I like both corn and cheese, but when you put them together you can barely […]
How to Choose a Virtual Tour Service Provider: My Reading Addiction
If there was one thing I learned during this book release it’s that persistence pays off. If you’re looking to put your book on the internet, then there are thousands of bloggers you can reach. A few hundred here, a few hundred there, sooner or later it makes a real impact. That’s […]
Secrets and Lies Cover Art Reveal
Ural Akyutz once again provided the cover artwork for this book. With the cover art in, we can now OFFICIALLY say that the release date for Secrets and Lies is November 15, 2013. The book will be available in ebook, paperback, and if I can manage to get it recorded by then, audiobook. (I’m hoping […]
How to Choose a Virtual Tour Service Provider: Innovative Online Book Tours
I made the decision to hire Innovative Online Tours about a month and a half before the release of my latest novel, Cassie Scot: ParaNormal Detective. I had already signed up with Pump Up Your Book but was feeling a bit nervous about the number of reviews I was getting through the bigger tour. Ultimately, […]
Book Review: Ill WInds
I had trouble getting into this story, but it rallied at the end. Joanna is on the run when the story unfolds, but the reason why doesn’t come clear until about halfway through. Oh, we get hints, but not the full story. She just talks about the “demon mark” as if a reader new to […]
How to Hire a Virtual Tour Service
Why should I plan a virtual book tour for my book? I’ll start with the easiest question to answer… You should plan a virtual book tour for your book because the Internet is how books are sold. Even if people end up going to a brick and mortar store (and most don’t bother), they find […]
Haven’t I Read This Story Before?
This was supposed to be a review of The Mystery Woman by Amanda Quick, an author who I have enjoyed under all three of her names. (She’s also Jayne Ann Krentz and Jayne Castle.) Then I realized that I’ve read this story before. Oh, not this book — but definitely this story. It’s a good […]
Secrets and Lies Delays
I’ve been saying for months that Secrets and Lies, book 2 in the Cassie Scot series, would officially be released on September 15. Well, as you may have noticed, we still don’t have cover art. (That was the bottleneck for book 1 as well.) We’re expecting it soon… any day now in fact, but even […]
