I just came up with the final scene of the murder mystery I’m writing. I’m SEVERAL chapter away from finishing it, but it does feel good to know the ending. #writesky #booksky #writingcommunity

I wrote non-stop for 3 1/2 hours yesterday afternoon. The words just flowed out. I love it when I have a session like that. #writesky #booksky #writingcommunity

I received edits yesterday for my next book. I intended to start on them last night, but I really wanted to finish the book I was reading. I finished the book and will be hitting the edits hard today. The coffee is waiting for me. #booksky #writesky

I just submitted to Amara. Unfortunately, it was to a different editor. 😞

Happy book birthday to me. Four years ago, Witch Hunt was released. It’s part of my Nathan Perry Mystery series, can be read as a stand-alone, and has been my best in-person seller ever since. #murdermystery #booksky #writersky

I’ve both owned and rented (renting right now). Renting has its advantages, like when my furnace went out a few months ago. The landlord replaced it and it didn’t cost me anything.

It can take time getting your head into the right place when switching from writing fantasy back to working in a murder mystery. I speak from experience.🤔 #writersky #authorsky #writingcommunity

I wrote two sword fighting scenes in my last manuscript. I had so much fun writing them. Now, I want a sword. 🤭

Over the weekend, I received the edits on my urban fantasy. Since I’m snowed in, I’ll be fixing a pot of coffee and hit those edits hard today. #writersky #authorsky

Bring on the snow. I've got coffee, wine, chocolate, and books. Oh, and the freezer is full of food. I probably won't make it out of the house for a week, so I expect to get a lot of writing done, too. #booksky #scriptsky

Everyone has different tastes, I suppose. That doesn't make it any better though.

My first feature, Homecoming to Murder was an adaptation of a mystery novel I wrote. The novel was inspired by the Jesse Stone series written by the late Robert B. Parker.

I'm excited to share that my short thriller screenplay, Stalked is an Official Selection at this month's Gothamite Monthly Film Awards. #scriptsky

As of right now, my only goal for 2026 is to finish a feature I have about a quarter completed. #scriptchat

In 2025, I haven’t had a competition win or placement since February. I did finish a short thriller screenplay a few months ago, but have only entered it in two competitions. No results yet. #scriptchat
