Biography

#Chicklit for admirers of smart & #sexy satire, #romcom banter and #erotic word flavor. Life is hard―kick its ass. Love your fetish. #Collegehumor gone wild.

Author of new adult fiction and romantic comedies. Realistic plots for today's reader, laced in satire and sexy, adult humor. A self-improvement book and an illustrated children's short story book are also available.

My novels tend to bend towards a real-time and satirical view of the world with regards to all relationships˗˗friendships, lovers, family, education, career, all of it. There is no normal despite the fact that some spend a lifetime pursuing it. Normalcy is in the dysfunction of life. It's there; that the real fun and our most memorable times are created. Without loose threads, there is no laughter, no surprise, no reason to seek out anything or anyone. Simply put, I love characters who do what they want to do and make no excuses about it. They thrive and grow on experiences, which is exactly what the goal should be˗˗total freedom with no regret.

I am a voracious reader when I'm not writing. My interests vary quite a bit with what I read and I guess that's what keeps me constantly searching for new concepts and perceptions. Nothing wrong with the classics mind you. Discovery can be found everywhere and it's enjoyable to see the birthing of imagination in others as they put pen to paper.

It's also fair to say that I am very much a lover of the solitude and beauty that nature offers. Whether it be a lone sandy beach in the tropics, the gorgeous high country in Arizona or the ominous forests of upstate New York, I enjoy all of it. From time to time, I'll frequent a local brewery for a stout or two, but I certainly would never throw my nose up at a nice glass of red in the night time hours. Especially a rainy night with that perfect new book. Cheers!

Smashwords Interview

What is your writing process?
I start with a general concept that includes a few characters. Most often it's very basic and I have no idea where the storyline or it's characters will go. When I do think I have a timeline in place, it always proves to be temporary as the story ever evolves and I surprise myself as to where I end up at the end of a days writing. For me, that's the satisfying part of writing; the spontaneity. I have no rigid outlines and it seems that simply relaxing and letting go opens my mind and the floodgates of creative places that I don't take my characters, but where they take me.
How do you approach cover design?
As the story builds in my minds eye and on paper, so too does the image of what the overall representation should be. I hope that it's something that allows a potential reader to get a feel for a good chunk of what awaits them inside on the pages that follow.
