How do you like them Apple ebooks?
If your e-reader of choice is an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iBooks — or if you download ebooks onto your computer via iTunes, you’re in luck! My novels are available through the Apple store.
Here’s Loose Dogs. My other novels and short stories are listed as well — see the left hand sidebar at the link.
I’ve closed the chat room.
It went . . . okay. I will do it again, in fact — when I’ve worked out a few kinks. Including the one where the chat room plug-in assigned and re-assigned random numbers to people . . . lol
In the meantime, please drop a comment if you need any info on how to claim your free copy of the book!
Take care!
Very excited here — today’s the big day!

I actually like doing this — but at the same time it’s a bit harrowing.
Need to get it right. Need to come up with copy that makes people really really want to read the book.
Here’s where it is right now:
Animal Control Officer Paige Newbury doesn’t know what’s worse.
Her man problems.
Or her dog problems.
She opens a package and finds The Ring—which means the guy she can’t get over is about to walk back into her life.
Then she stumbles on evidence of a criminal dog fighting ring—which means a gorgeous pit bull she tried to save is doomed to suffer . . . or maybe even die.
She’s sure she can seal the deal with her boyfriend with a little help from sexy lawyer Larry Crawford.
But she’ll soon need another scheme—this time, to save her life.
Loose Dogs.
Unconventional romance.
Thrilling twist.
What do you think?

New book on one of my fave topics :-)
Hiya!
I took a break from fiction to finalize a non-fiction piece that’s been almost-completed for months now.
It’s on one of my favorite topics: the relationship between writing, dreams, and states of consciousness :-)
Yeah, I know, dorky!!! :-D
It’s available now for 99 cents as an ebook on Smashwords. (If you’ve never used Smashwords: it’s a distributor that offers ebooks in multiple formats–so you can buy books there for readers including Kindle, Nook, and iPad.)
It’s not particularly long–about 9000 words altogether.
It includes a copy of my short story, Ribbon, because I describe my experience writing the story to illustrate some of the ideas I explore.
In a day or so the book will be on Amazon and Barnes & Noble as well.
If you grab a copy, be sure to let me know what you think!
I played around a bit on PowToon today. What do you think?
“It is no longer a passion hidden in my veins: it is the goddess Venus herself fastened on her prey.” — Racine
One of the odd pleasures about writing fiction is that you don’t always know what you’re doing until after you’ve done it.
There are parts of the mind (the parts that Jungian psychologist Robert Johnson refers to as the Shadow) that meddle with your fiction behind your back.
You have little or no awareness of the meddling as you write.
You’re too focused on all those conscious tasks that require your attention. The characters, the plot, your deadlines, your typos . . .
But then you re-read what you’ve done and there it is, like the smudgey remnants of an alien footprint — an alien footprint that also seems disturbingly familiar. Continue reading
