To celebrate, here’s an excerpt of True Courage that takes place during a Halloween party on the South Lawn of the White House. I think it’s self-explanatory, with no spoilers. Katie stood next to Mrs. Mason and pretended to be excited about handing out cookies shaped like black and white cats. Mrs. Mason hadn’t asked […] Read more…
True Courage trivia!
I thought I would share some trivia about True Courage. The name of the “bad guy”, Senator J.P. Landry, came from a friend of mine, who I used to write with when I lived in Virginia.

It’s been a while, hasn’t it? But I finally have a new book ready to come into the world! I’ve worked on it a long time, in fits and starts (mostly fits, if you want to know the truth). It’s set in Washington, D.C., in the White House, where single-father Adam Dybik is coming to […] Read more…
Using Facebook for Good Not Evil
I have an addiction to social media. Doesn’t everyone?

Celebrate With a Book!
I’m really proud to be one of the featured authors at the new book website Celebrate With a Book. I was asked to talk about my “creation story” as a writer. I’d always wanted to be an “author” ever since I first learned what the word meant, but a guidance counselor put an end to my […] Read more…
