In Raw Deception Two, Dee Moore is going to get very pissed. She meets and falls in love with her garbage man and he winds up breaking… Continue

My New Addiction I'm an addict. I admit it. Before the entire world, I admit it. I mean, it's sort of ironic, you know? I managed to live for years without being struck by anything so incredibly and stubbornly incurable, but then I took a fall ... and when I did, I fell hard. To what am I addicted? 3D graphics. It started innocuously enough. I decided to do my own book cover. Now, this can be a dangerous decision, but I really wanted to do it. I can say… Continue

Where have I been? Everybody's been doing this for a while, haven't they? But for some reason, I'm always Johnny Come Lately and that hasn't changed. Anyway, better late than never!

It's been difficult to w… Continue

FORGING AHEAD WITH NANOWRIMO, I only have 26,315 words as of 8:45 this Sunday morning. However, I must congratulate myself on those having broken through the 26,000 mark. When I first started to type this morning, I hadn't yet done that.
