WELCOME to my newsletter.

To my friends and family,

My latest book, The Crittenton Girls, is finally available on Amazon.com, Barnes& Noble.com, in trade paperback and as an e-book on Kindle, KOBO, and most other e-book providers. If you read it and enjoy it, please leave me a review on Amazon or Goodreads.

A few reviews:

Exceptional dramatic family saga that pulls your heartstrings from love, loss, shame and despair in search of hope and redemption. Masterful storytelling with a chain reaction of psychological intrigue and suspense. Five Stars. Fast paced, satisfying and unforgettable characters with universal themes for wide audiences.

James Masiarelli

Author of Beyond Beauport

The Crittenton Girls chronicles one woman's struggle to find her own voice while weathering complicated and turbulent relationships with her daughters and herself. An inspiring, touching story about how we love each other, how we hurt each other, but most importantly, how it is never too late to grow.

Writer's tips

Writers that are trying to improve their craft find that POV, Point of View is one of the hardest skills to tackle. Most commercial fiction today is written in Deep POV. What the heck is that? Deep POV, sometimes called Close POV brings the story close to the reader. It is the ultimate in showing instead of telling.

I found one of the best books to help me learn deep POV is a little book by Lisa Hall-Wilson called Method Acting for Writers. If you are trying to write and are struggling with deep POV, give this little book a try.

What am I reading?

I love Jennifer Weiner, and I love stories that are rather dark. However, I picked this one up because it looked like a good light beach read.

Doesn't the cover reflect that to you? It is not. This is exactly why covers are so important. To me, a cover should reflect the general mood. Sorry Jen, but I think you missed the boat on this one.

That Summer is about two strangers that connect under unusual circumstances to delve into past trauma and learn to move on. Amazon
