Happy Thanksgiving!


It is Thanksgiving Eve and I just wanted to take a minute to list just five things I am thankful for this year.


  1. I am thankful for my children Both my daughters are amazing young women and I am thankful every day that they are who they are. They never cease to amaze me and make me proud. 
  2. I am thankful for my husband He can drive me crazy sometimes but let's face it, we can all use a little crazy in our lives! He makes me laugh everyday. Do you laugh everyday? I do, and it's amazing.
  3. I am thankful for the rest of my family, my parents, brothers, sisters, cousins, every one of them! The memories we have made and the ones we continue to make are worth all the gold in the world, or as my mom likes to say: all the tea in China! 
  4. I am thankful for having the opportunities. I am lucky. I really am. I have had opportunities in my life that some people have never had, and I and incredibly thankful for the sacrifices that my parents made so that I could have them. I have made mistakes, we all have, but everything that has happened, got me to right where I am. And I am in a good place right now. 
  5. I am thankful for my imagination. Yup, I'm gonna say it, I have an incredible imagination! You should SEE what goes on in my head!.. well, maybe you shouldn't... Either way, it has brought me happiness, and I hope that I am bringing a little happiness to some of you through my stories. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

That very first publication sent out there, usually in cyberspace. Then we waited... and waited... and waited... for that very first taste of feedback. Knowing that our masterpiece would undoubtably be not only well received, but one of the best things ever written! Or at least we hoped. For me it was fanfiction that got me started. Specifically Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which just goes to show how much I am STILL in love with the vampire themed fantasy genre. Yes, somewhere out there are unedited versions of a lesser published me testing the waters of publication. Of course this was well before there was any such thing as ereaders, ipads, or any other tablet, except of course on Star Trek. Let us all take a moment to acknowledge the utter genius and vision of Gene Roddenberry. Which brings me to my topic o

New scene in updated "Existence"

This is one of the added scenes when I rewrote Book 1: Existence. The new version is a more complete story and has much more of Detective Joe Gordon and Mikey, Joe's informant who gets mixed up with Thea and "Scary Man"... Joe closed the last of the files on the last six months of underage missing persons cases and sat back in his chair. He sighed heavily and rubbed his eyes with both hands as he let his head hang back over the top of the wooden support, cushioned by the leather collar of his trench coat. He had found it, the pattern he had been looking for. An increase in missing persons cases involving minors started about five months ago or so. Most of them foster kids, all of them with a history of trouble, either with the police or with school and all of them never heard from again, not even in mug shots. That little part of his brain was tugging at him again, indicating more sleepless nights until he looked into this further. There was a brief knock on hi
