Before I was a writer, I was a composer. This is me playing my compositions. I stopped playing seriously about ten years ago when the three hours of hard practice a day ruined my hands and now I have to choose, piano or writing. So this is me not pushing myself on the piano. […]
The Author presents…
I have two prized performances in my possession. Okay, I really only own one because the other is publicly accessible. What are they? Rachmaninoff plays Rachmaninoff. That’s right, I have a recording of Sergei Rachmaninoff playing his own 3rd Piano Concerto (Rachmaninoff is the pianist). I adore this Concerto like no other (It’s why I […]
To-Do
I hate writing with pen and pencil on paper. I am too OCD (A polite way of saying “anal retentive”) to write by hand. So this is my current to do list 🙂 Submit information and details for the Dolor and Shadow Book Trailer Apply edits to “To—” Distribute Giveaways (Waiting for my editor to […]
Photo Gallery Bio
I am entertaining a new idea of a “photo gallery bio.” Let me share with you… One thing authors keep running into is “tell us more.” As a reader, I want to know more about authors I love. As a writer, I hear it often. People love learning about those they admire. So here is […]
Frankenstein
I am a huge fan of Kenneth Branagh. Not familiar with his work? *smiles* sure you are! Kenneth Branagh is Gilderoy Lockhart in the Harry Potter film! He’s the wizard who stops to smile at a a painting of himself painting a portrait of himself. But that man means so much more to me than […]
Broken Uncovered
In the darkest corners of the mind, there resides the secrets we want to forget. A hermit toggles the lines of insanity as she descends into the bowels of her psyche and recalls her life of neglect, rape, abuse, torture, and pedophilia. Dear Reader… The events revealed in Broken are based on a true story—my […]
Keeping Up Appearances
I am including an interview at the end of “Broken.” This question was asked of me and my answer can’t wait. I had to post it now. The answer I composed surprised even myself. Question: I understand the need to write something like Broken, but why publish it? Why put this out for everyone […]
Going Home
Well, today I awoke as a published author. It feels surreal, but only a little. 🙂 I spent the entire morning on Goodreads while Bergen handled himself on Facebook. Kallan and Rune were teamed up on Google+ where they took turns blasting each other with vile comments and tempers. Occasionally, Kallan fried Rune’s ass. Each […]
A Day In the Life of Me
I just need to say, I love the title of this post! So catchy! Welcome to “A Day In the Life of Me.” I won’t ever have this chance again, so I decided to record every moment of this day. This day! Three days prior to my first book release! Are you thinking about […]
It’s cold here!
20 May 2015 in New York and it is 45 F degrees outside! I am wearing socks and lounge pants under a floor-length knit skirt with a “BAZINGA” t-shirt and a bathrobe. WTF!? Oh, and I turned the heat on. Grrrrr…
