Happy Wednesday Scribblers. I hope you’re having a wonderful day. Today I’m here to share my thoughts about J.P. Jackson’s (learn more here) newest short story Skin Sessions: All Hell Breaks loose (find the book and the series here). So, without further ado here is my review:

Happy Wednesday Scribblers. I hope you’re having a great week. Today I’m thrilled to share that in October 2025 I’ll be participating in Haunted Hearts–Season of the Witch. What is Haunted Hearts, you might ask, well I’ll tell you. Haunted Hearts is a collection of eleven OwnVoice Authors who have written MM Paranormal Romance novels celebrating the theme of male witches. Each story is different and unique, however they are all romance and all involve witches (and there might be one or two other...

Happy Wednesday Scribblers, I hope you’re all having a great week. I once spent four days at a Con (including travel, hotel, meals, plus Con expenses) and sold one book. One. It was brutal-but also one of my most educational experiences I’ve had. Book Events and Conventions are the best way to meet readers and sell your books. There’s no denying, if you’re an author, the best way to engage your fans is to attend book events and conventions. People might tell you there are other ways, and they ma...

Happy Wednesday Scribblers. I hope you’re all having a great day and a wonderful Pride 2025. Today I wanted to share a couple of photos from Davis Pride 2025 (learn more here). The day was warm (translate to hot) and the celebration went from 3pm to 8pm at the Davis Civic Center Park (6th and B Streets) located behind Davis City Hall. The day was filled with music, families, food, and fun. I’m so thrilled to be back at Davis this year for their pride event. As always, I was with the wonderful fo...

Happy Wednesday Scribblers and Happy Pride 2025! I hope you’re all having a wonderful week. Today I wanted to talk to you about something we authors don’t always do well; explaining our novels to potential readers. When talk to someone about our book or books, we want to tell them the entire story. We want to explain the characters and the nuances. We are so excited to engage with someone about our novel that we ‘info dump’ on them. And that’s the best way to kill a potential buyer and turn off ...

Happy Wednesday Scribblers. I hope you’re all having a great day and a wonderful Pride 2025. Today I wanted to share a couple of photos and an update from an exciting event I attended last week (well two weeks ago now). This year I was invited to be part of the Sacramento Book Festival (learn more here) this is the first book festival that Sacramento has held in eleven years and what an event it was. The festival had over 140 authors from all over Northern California and an estimated attendance ...

Happy Wednesday Scribblers. How are you all doing? I hope you’re all taking care of yourself this week. Today, I wanted to share on March 22nd and March 23rd I attended the Sac ComiCon (learn more here) event in Sacramento, California. I was with the QSac group (check them out here and learn more here). I had an absolute blast. Thank you to everyone who came out and said, ‘Hello’ and picked up a copy or two of my books.

Despite being a smaller event, the crowd and the costumes were fantastic.

Comi...

Happy Wednesday Scribblers. I hope you’re all having a wonderful week. Today I’m thrilled to announce that on March 28th I have a new short story coming out. The short story; Miss Vina Volaria–A Volaria Story will be part of a new anthology; Romance is a Drag.

Happy Wednesday Scribblers. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and your New Year is off to a great start. I’ve been a bit quiet these last couple of weeks because I wanted to finish up my next novel, Hawaiian Sun. Once I got the first draft written, I then wanted to get as much editing done as possible before sending the book off to my Beta Readers. I can’t wait for this next novel to come out. Writing the book was a lot of fun.

Also, during my winter break I went to SacAnime 2025 with the wo...

Today I’m happy to share with you that for 2025 I currently have planned to release two short stories and one new novel. I’ll be sharing more information over the coming months and in the New Year, however today I wanted to offer you all a couple of teasers.
