How Long To Sing This Song?

Readers are astonished to learn that I began thinking about my novel Thalo Blue over a dozen years ago. It's true, though. I remember where I was when the seed of that book hit me.  I still have the text file with my jot notes about the story -- and I typed them out  that very night using a borrowed computer which didn't even have a word processor installed. Just Windows 95 and good ol' Notepad. I wouldn't actually start writing the book for many years after another major event instigated the writing process.

The Devil's Right Hand // Sneak Peek

I promised further looks behind the curtain at what I'm working on. I cannot leave you with disappointment, even though some of you will label me a dirty tease. Especially when you learn that this excerpt will come down from the Farthest Reaches website in a day or two.

Behind The Words // Jeannie Walker

Jeannie Walker first came to my attention at Goodreads. She was one of my first contacts on that website and we've remained in touch over the last two years as we have each finished and released novels subsequent to our debuts.

Her first well-received novel comes from a dramatic real-life experience she endured ("Fighting the Devil") and as you'll discover from Jeannie herself, that was the first in a string of non-fiction inspirations for her writing. Without further from me, I give you Ms. Jeannie Walker...

Back Soon

I'll come back to blogging and social media soon. Thanks for your patience, everyone. It's been a rough stretch these last months but I will be seeing the other side soon, I think.  A little bit longer and then I shall return. I'll have some great new posts, news about writing projects and some wonderful guests.

As always, thanks to you all for supporting me.
